Pellicon 2 modules set a new standard in cassette style tangential flow filtration devices. The Pellicon product line has been redesigned with process scale-up and applications development in mind. This series of devices include the popular Durapore range of membranes for microfiltration applications offering pore sizes from 0.1 to 0.65 µm. Each module is 100% integrity tested.
How many times can I reuse TFF membranes?
» Answer
It is possible to reuse both ultrafiltration and microporous membranes used in Millipore Tangential flow systems (Miniplate, Prep Scale etc.). The number of uses for any given set of membranes is directly related to the effectiveness of the cleaning and storage protocols used. Please refer to the TFF Maintenance Guides for suggested cleaning and storage procedures.
