| Ultrafiltration (UF) is the process of separating extremely small particles and dissolved molecules from fluids. The primary basis for separation is molecular size – particles ranging from 1,000 to 1,000,000 molecular weight are retained by ultrafiltration membranes. Millipore’s UF membranes are manufactured in our world class facility in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to the reliable production of our high quality UF membranes, deploying gMP practices and ISO compliant measures. The 44,000 sq ft facility is a Commissioned Class 100K controlled environment; containing the most innovative manufacturing equipment and processes in the industry. This guide provides an introduction to Millipore’s family of Ultrafiltration Membranes and an overview of the key criteria and product characteristics to consider when selecting an UF membrane for your application or medical device. Using this guide will help ensure high levels of retention; however optimization through experimentation should always be conducted to find a suitable balance between retention and flow rate levels. |
