Protein concentrator based on membrane and centrifugation works by removing biomolecules at determined molecular size/weight. For example, a membrane-based protein concentrator such as Centriprep Centrifugal Filter Unit with Ultracel-50 membrane (Merck Millipore cat# 4311) has a protein cutoff point at 50 kDa. The term used can be Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO; refer to Wikipedia) or Nominal Molecular Weight Limit (NMWL) but they mean similar thing, that proteins at or above 50 kDa is trapped/concentrated whereas molecules at <50 be="" br="" kda="" removed.="" will="">

How to go about hard binding thesis in NTU Singapore
At last, finished my PhD defense and on the way to hard bind my thesis. Although NTU Library no longer collect hard copy theses, NTU schools still collect them for archiving. So, I need to prepare these hard copies.
To have my thesis bound in hard cover, I had to do it at the NTU library printing station (Campus Supplies Pte Ltd). The printing station is equipped with plethora of printers, scanners, and photocopiers. The payment method can be made via Ezlink. The shop was well equipped to cater to students, staffs and lecturers' needs.
One thing I didn't really fancy in the place. Not all staff is friendly. They are not rude, but they aren't welcoming and friendly. What a shame. The whole affair was very terse and impatient. Fortunately, not all the staff are like that. I guess their mundane work and the lack of friendlier and conducive environment sort of transformed them into zombie-like.
Anyway, the cost for hard binding a thesis is SGD 18. For two theses, it costs SGD 34. There is a submission date and a collection date (which is a week after submission). The theses are sent to a binder and collected in a week's time.
Alternatively, students can also contact another shop providing the above service, e.g. Ultra Supplies at Queensway. I have not contacted them because the place is far from NTU and probably nearer to students staying near NUS.

If given the chance, I would like to try dealing with Ultra Supplies and compare the service standard with that of Campus Supplies Pte Ltd. This is considering that the business card of the former included the description "for friendly assistance, call". That's a strange way to assure customers of friendly service. I would have expected all staffs should be friendly rather than assigning certain staffs as friendly...
Strange thought.
