The Allegro CM150 single-use tangential flow filtration (SUTFF) system containing pressure, flow, conductivity, temperature and ultraviolet (UV) single use sensors is easily to be used for running ultrafiltration (UF) and diafiltration (DF) processes from 2 to 20 L batches.
Specification
Membrane area: 0.1- 0.4 m2, operating in typical crossflow range of 5 to 7 L/min/m2 Pall Centramate T-series cassettes or equivalent; Pall Cadence SUTFF modules. Tubing internal diameter: Feed/ retentate tube: 3⁄8 in. (9.6 mm) Permeate tube: ¼ in. (6.4 mm) Retentate vessel: 5 L or 10 L Allegro biocontainers, for larger process volumes system may be operated in fed batch mode. Operating temperature: 4 – 40 °C Operating pressure: 4 barg for high pressure reinforced section on feed and retentate manifolds 1 barg permeate and medium pressure manifolds; 0 barg for biocontainers Protection for over pressure: Yes Minimum working volume: Minimum recirculation volume approximately: 105 mL (Estimated with 0.1 m2 Pall membrane surface area installed).
