Description

General description

The Pellicon^® 2 Ultrafiltration BIOMAX 5 Cassette sets the standard in cassette-style tangential flow filtration devices. P2B005A05 was designed with process scale-up and applications development in mind.

Millipore′s BIOMAX 5 polyethersulfone membrane has void-free structures that guard against leakage of solutes through microdefects normally associated with voids beneath the thin skins of conventional UF membranes. These void-free membranes are more permeable, resulting in high-flux with equivalent or superior product retention. These void-free membranes provide the advantages of fast, high yield processing and smaller systems.

The Pellicon^® 2 Cassette Ultrafiltration BIOMAX Module feature a filtration area of 0.5 m² with a pore size of 5 kDa NMWCO.

Application

Concentration, desalting or buffer exchange of:

• Protein solutions
• Polysaccharide solutions
• Virus suspensions

Harvest, washing or clarification of:

• Cell cultures and lysates
• Colloidal suspensions
• Viral cultures

Features and Benefits

• Type A screen (tight screen)
• Leading-edge void- free membranes to match virtually any separation challenge
• Short flow path for higher flux and higher resolution separation capability
• Choice of flow channel configuration providing process optimization capability
• Predictable, fast, scale-up
• True linear scalability from laboratory size modules to industrial assemblies for processing thousands of liters
• Brings higher resolution, improved yields and superior back-pressure resistance
• Ultracel membranes are composite membranes cast on a microporous substrate for defect-free membranes with superior
