HFM insertion:
Prior to use, HFM may require wetting with water or buffer. In general, prior to use,
please read the separate Hollow Fiber Module Preparation Instructions that are
included with every hollow fiber. There are different preparation methods
depending on the module type purchased.
Two types of HFMs are available for the XCell
TM
ATF System; accordingly, two types
of Filter Housings are available:
•
S-line Housing for use with HFM with “O” rings on the HFM ends for sealing
against the housing inner ID.
•
I-line Housing for use with HFM with no attached “O” rings. The “O” ring is placed in a
recess at the housing ends, between HFM and Reducer (or Diaphragm Pump). Clamping
the connection between Reducer (or Diaphragm Pump) and the Filter Housing squeezes
the “O” ring effectively forcing the “O” ring against the filter wall, effectively sealing the
three parts.
