TangenX® PRO Cassettes
Designed to be cleaned and re-used multiple times, PRO and PRO PD Reusable TFF Cassettes are interchangeable with SIUS® Single-use Cassettes.
TangenX® PRO Reusable TFF Cassettes may be cleaned and re-used multiple times while maintaining reproducible cassette performance. They are engineered with optimized channel geometry and enhanced device rigidity to ensure that hydraulic performance is maintained during processing and scale-up.
FLEXIBLE
Diverse options for diverse process needs
PRO TFF Cassettes are offered with two membrane chemistries, two screen types, a wide selection of molecular weight cutoffs (MWCO), and a broad range of surface areas. With 96 configurations available, PRO TFF Cassettes accommodate diverse process requirements for ultrafiltration and diafiltration applications from process development to commercial manufacturing.
- Neutral charge
- Low protein binding
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Hydrophilic
- Low protein binding
- minimal fouling with hydrophobic species
FLEXIBLE
Multiple channel configurations
Tangential flow filtration cassettes create turbulence at the membrane's surface and minimize fouling. The result is an increase in performance with a higher permeate flux. PRO Cassettes are offered in three different channel configurations to best suit the application. The channel configuration refers to the type of turbulence promoter incorporated into the feed channel of a cassette.
A medium channel or L screen is offered in all PRO Cassette formats. The screen creates turbulence at the membrane's surface ensuring outstanding permeate flux with minimal fouling. This channel configuration requires the lowest pumping rate and yields the highest cross flow velocity. This type of channel is best suited for clarified feed streams over a wide range of viscosities.
A coarser screen channel, the EP channel is offered in all PRO Cassettes. The screen geometry of this single-use cassette can process feed streams with a higher viscosity and reduce the overall pressure drop. It is scalable from 100cm2 to 2.5m2, packaged sanitized and compatible with existing cassette holders and FPIs. This type of channel is best suited for processes that use shear sensitive feed streams.
An open channel or J channel is offered in all PRO Cassettes. A 0.5mm flow spacer separating the membrane creates an open feed flow channel. This type of channel creates the least amount of turbulence while still minimizing fouling. It also requires the highest pumping rate to pass particulates. This type of channel is best suited for unclarified feed streams and is used for processes such as cell harvest operation.

This format fits the following cassette clamps and holders:
- TangenX® SIUS® PD Cassette Clamps
- TangenX® PRO PD Cassette Holders
- Pall - Centramate Holder (CM018LV, FS001K10)
TangenX® PRO PD with offset notch
0.756in (19.21mm) Offset
This format fits the following cassette clamps and holders:

- GE - Kvick Lab Holder (KLPH01SSU, KLHR0105000SS)
- Millipore - Pellicon Mini Holder (XX42PMINI)
SCALABLE
Scalable from process development to commercial scale
Process volume and membrane area determine scale-up from SIUS® Single-use Cassettes to PRO Reusable TFF Cassettes.
Single-use TFF provides the greatest benefit for small to moderate scale operations.
Reusable TFF is optimal for large production scale operations.

During process development, scientists aim to select the most promising membrane candidates, while making related decisions regarding feed pressure, TMP and screen geometry. PRO PD Cassettes enable process development scientists to select the most promising membrane candidates.
Membrane Surface Areas:
0.01 meter2, 0.02 meter2, 0.10 meter2
When the primary membrane candidate has already been chosen as a process parameter, the production method needs to be verified and production materials produced for toxicology or pre-clinical trials, and ultimately for large-scale commercial production. TangenX® PRO TFF Cassettes provide reliable cassette-to-cassette consistency, ensuring that processes can scale to commercial production levels.
Membrane Surface Areas:
0.5 meter2, 1.5 meter2, 2.5 meter2
