Pellicon XL 50 Microfiltration Devices

Pellicon XL 50 Microfiltration Devices

Description
The Pellicon XL 50 cassette couples Millipore's superior microfiltration membranes with the first truly linearly scalable TFF device for processing small volumes. The Durapore membrane offers ultra-low protein binding and excellent retention performance, which assures reliable and consistent performance.

For linear scalability to exist within a family of TFF devices, the channel geometry (path length and channel height) must be identical for each filter. The Pellicon XL 50 cassette is the only TFF product of this size that can make this claim, providing simple, reliable linear scaleup. The feed and permeate flow channels in every Pellicon XL 50 cassette operates with the same pressure drop, flow velocity, and concentration profile as the larger Pellicon 2 cassettes.

The Labscale TFF System is easy to use for sample preparation while also providing the necessary controls for process development and scale-up work.

Consistent High Flux and High Product Recovery
The long established Durapore hydrophilic PVDF microfiltration membrane is well known for its exceptional combination of high flux, low protein binding, and high product recoveries.

Pellicon XL 50 cassettes are 100% integrity tested in manufacturing to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
