Novel High Flux Single-use Filtration for Fed Batch Clarification
TFDF™ (Tangential Flow Depth Filtration) technology unites the benefits of tangential flow (TF) and depth filtration (DF) in a closed and single-use solution that enables 1000 LMH.
High Flux Single-use filter clarification
When used for cell culture clarification, TFDF™ Technology delivers unprecedented high flux, high capacity, low turbidity, and minimal dilution. The result is a single-use, Gamma-irradiated and closed solution with linear scaling from 1 L to 2000 L. Clarification with the TFDF™ Technology provides an alternative to centrifugation and primary depth filters. TFDF™ output turbidity and impurity profile are highly comparable to those of centrifugation.
TF + DF = TFDF™的综合优势
Tangential Flow
High cell density
Poor product passage
Depth Filtration
Low cell density
Excellent product passage
Tangential Flow Depth Filtration
High cell density
Excellent product passage
TUBULAR DEPTH FILTER OPERATED IN TANGENTIAL FLOW MODE
Tangential flow through the lumen
- Low concentration polarization minimizes fouling and turbidity breakthrough
- Robustness for challenging feed stocks
Thick wall depth filter
- High filtration capacity
- Short, highly inter-connected paths do not retain product
Synergistic Benefits
- High flux > 1000 LMH
- Low hold-up volume
- Small footprint
- Simple setup and disposal
- Scalable from 1-2000L
- Process in 3-6 hours
