Pellicon 2 Ultrafiltration Cassettes

Pellicon 2 cassettes set the standard in cassette-style tangential flow filtration devices. The Pellicon product line was designed with process scale-up and applications development in mind.

Millipore’s Biomax polyethersulfone and Ultracel regenerated cellulose membranes have void-free structures that guard against leakage of solutes through microdefects normally associated with voids beneath the thin skins of conventional UF membranes. These void-free membranes are more permeable, resulting in high-flux with equivalent or superior product retention. These void-free membranes provide the advantages of fast, high yield processing and smaller systems.

Benefits

• Leading-edge void- free membranes to match virtually any separation challenge
  
• Short flow path for higher flux and higher resolution separation capability
  
• Choice of flow channel configuration providing process optimization capability
  
• Predictable, fast, scale-up
  
• True linear scalability from laboratory size modules to industrial assemblies for processing thousands of liters
  
• Brings higher resolution, improved yields and superior back-pressure resistance
  
• Ultracel membranes are composite membranes cast on a microporous substrate for defect-free membranes with superior adhesion.
