General description

The Pellicon® 2 Ultrafiltration BIOMAX 50 Cassette sets the standard in cassette-style tangential flow filtration devices. P2B050A05 was designed with process scale-up and applications development in mind.

Millipore′s BIOMAX 50 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 50 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
