Robust Processing
Ultrafiltration and diafiltration (UF/DF) processing for batch volumes ranging 2mL to 15L.
Easy to use
Plug and play configurability to add and remove components as needed with minimal effort.
Compatible with flat sheet cassettes and hollow fiber filters.
Walk-away automation
13 automated process control modes with the Automatic Back Pressure Valve (ABV) and intuitive software platform.
Off-the-shelf flow paths
Gamma irradiated, single-use, ProConnex® flow paths for enhanced reproducibility, time savings and sterility.
Modularity Made Easy with Plug-and-Play Configurability
KrosFlo® KR2i TFF systems achieve an unparalleled combination of configurability and user-simplicity through modular, plug-and-play hardware. All components, either directly or indirectly, connect to the main pump, which then communicates with the KF Comm 2 software for control and monitoring.
More Capabilities, Still Simple.
Get more out of TFF with the flexibility to configure your system to better suit your application needs. Keep your process compact and minimal or expand your capabilities to more advance modes of operation by adding components. Switch back and forth between configurations all without compromising on ease of use.
Automate, Control and Visualize with KF Comm 2
Control the whole system, configure recipes and automate processes in as little as 4 clicks through the intuitive KF Comm 2 software.
- Conveniently installed on any device using the Windows Operating System
- Compatible with Chrome, Mozilla, Firefox and Microsoft Explorer browsers
- Automatic software and firmware updates
- Optional 21 CFR Part 11 package available

Walk-away automation for your lab
The days of manually adjusting screw clamps are over. A Repligen-exclusive technology, the Automatic Back Pressure (ABV) Valve adds transmembrane pressure (TMP) control to every TFF process, reducing operator hands-on-time, data logging and continuous monitoring while improving process reproducibility.
- Automatically adjust tubing pinch distance according to user-defined set-points
- Maintain uniform TMP throughout process run, decreasing membrane fouling
- Use with compatible tubing sizes 13, 14, 16, 25, HP15, 17, HP24, 18, HP35, 36, and HP36
TFF with In-Line Protein Concentration Management
No longer are you dependent solely on mass inputs and off-line fixed-pathlength UV-Vis spectrophotometers. Now, you can measure what truly matters in real-time with the KrosFlo® KR2i RPM™ System. Monitor concentration in real time during your UF/DF run and control your process.

Standard and Configurable ProConnex® Flow Paths
ProConnex® Flow Paths are customized, configurable and complete assemblies for tangential flow filtration. Designed for use with hollow fiber and/or flat sheet TFF systems, the assemblies are sterile, fit for upstream or downstream processing and manufactured in compliance with ISO guidelines in an ISO 7 clean room.
Effortless scaling with a single standardized platform
Designed as a platform and not as standalone units, KrosFlo KR2i, KMPi, and FS lab scale TFF systems share the same components, software and controls across the entire family, allowing you to confidently standardize your process. Common process change challenges during scale-up are removed.
System features at a glance
The fully integrated KrosFlo KR2i TFF System features a digital peristaltic pump, graphical LCD display, digital pressure monitor, KR2i Pump head, automatic backpressure valve, filter module stand, and KF Comm real-time data collection software.
Highly configurable and versatile, the KrosFlo KR2i utilizes a number user-defined set-points to run complex application processes with numerous built-in safety alarms and stops. The system can run up to two stackable pump heads for higher flow rates.
