Modular, plug-and-play hardware with peristaltic pump
The KrosFlo® KMPi TFF System achieves an unparalleled combination of integration, configurability and automation through modular, plug-and-play hardware. All components, either directly or indirectly, connect to the main KrosFlo® KMPi peristaltic pump, which then communicates with the KF Comm 2 software for control and monitoring.
- Configure a minimal number of components for simple applications such as concentration (C) or diafiltration (D)
- Plug-and-play additional components for fractionation (F) and multi-step processes (i.e. CDC/D/C)
Click on the tabs below to explore different combinations of concentration and diafiltration configurations using the KrosFlo® KMPi System.
Concentrate with a streamlined configuration
C = Concentration D = Diafiltration F = Feed
Add a scale and auxiliary pump to access diafiltration applications
C = Concentration D = Diafiltration F = Feed
Build process understanding with increased sensors
C = Concentration D = Diafiltration F = Feed

Transfer bi-directional data through
proprietary board
An advanced microprocessor-based controller is integrated into the main KrosFlo® KMPi System pumps, enabling plug-and-play hardware component behavior. Bi-directional communication is established between the KF Comm 2 software and hardware components, such as the Automatic Back Pressure Control Valve, scales, auxiliary pumps and the Konduit device.
