Prostak™ MF Module

Description

• General description: Prostak™ MF Module are a tangential flow filtration device in a stacked plate configuration with Type V screen open feed channel. A microporous membrane, Durapore® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), is bonded on both sides of each plate. The plates are then stacked in parallel forming stacks.This Prostak™ microfiltration open-channel module features a Pore Size of 0.45 μm and a filtration area of 0.17 m2. SK2P012W6 is available in a 2 stack, making it applicable for bench-top, pilot, and production scale systems.The modules can be integrity tested and steam sterilized for 20 cycles.Prostak™ MF modules must be used with a support holder, which controls deflection and provides sanitary fittings for connection to external piping. Sanitary gaskets supplied with the module provide a leak-free connection between the module(s) and the holder.
• Application: Typical ApplicationsProstak™ microfiltration is used for separations where viscosity and suspended solids levels of the feed stream require an open feed channel. They are typically used in perfusion applications or in the clarification/harvest of:Mammalian, bacterial and mycelial cell suspensionsEmulsions and colloidal suspensionViruses, proteins and other bio-organic macromolecular solutionsPolysaccharides and other high viscosity solutionsYeast, algae, and other high solids suspensionsProtein precipitateVaccines
