Ultrafiltration / Diafiltration

Used in nearly every biotherapeutic process, ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) is a critical purification process, using tangential flow filtration (TFF), prior to final drug formulation.

By solution By modality By product

Ultrafiltration or UF (sometimes referred to as concentration) involves separation of components, on the basis of molecular weight and size, to isolate the biologic of interest. Diafiltration or DF (sometimes referred to as buffer exchange) involves the addition of buffer such that the liquid surrounding the target is exchanged to one that is preferred for storage stability. Several UF/DF operations can be connected in a series to perform multiple UF/DF steps until the desired purity levels are reached.

Repligen set new standards in UF/DF with a complete range of Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) Systems from bench to production scale with walk-away automation, including single-use flow paths, market-leading hollow fiber and flat sheet filters, and in-line process monitoring.

Repligen solutions help overcome key challenges in UF/DF, with hands-on process and implementation consultation from global Field Applications Specialists.
