Labscale Tangential Flow Filtration System User Guide

Introduction
The Labscale TFF system is a simple, easy to use system, designed
specifically for the Pellicon
®
XL device. This modular system
includes a 500 mL acrylic reservoir with pressure gauges, device
docking manifold and retentate valve; system base with integral
magnetic stirrer and diaphragm pump. The design of this system
allows Millipore’s Pellicon XL device to dock directly onto the side
of the reservoir, making tubing connections short, minimizing
holdup and recirculation volumes.
