MAXIMIZED PERFORMANCE

Gentle on shear-sensitive molecules

Hollow fibers possess a smooth internal wall and tubular channel geometry, that promotes laminar flow with high flux. The low shear and turbulence of laminar flow helps maintain the integrity of shear sensitive modalities such as lentivirus.

Laminar flow

Flow is primarily straight and streamlined

 

Turbulent flow

Irregular, chaotic flow creates eddies that change flow in both magnitude and direction

 MAXIMIZED PERFORMANCE

Game-changing mPES Chemistry

Directly modified from the PES backbone

  • Uniquely formulated to provide tight selectivity without sacrificing high flux
  • Thin selective layer in the inner lumen​​
  • Significantly s more porous membrane​​
  • Robust design for high-pressure applications​​
  • Ideal for Lentivirus, mRNA, pDNA and LNPs​​
  • Maximizes recovery
  • Reduces fouling

Scale-up made easy

Hollow fiber filter TFF modules are offered with a broad range of sizes, surface areas and membrane chemistries designed to facilitate easy scale-up from small volume process development and R&D applications to commercial production. During scale-up, adding more fibers to process larger volumes enables consistency in the length of the filtration flow path even while the surface area of the filter is increased.
