Benchtop membrane filtration for process development
Eliminate fouling and achieve precise separation with a benchtop filtration system that offers complete process control for micro and ultrafiltration applications.
Filters and Concentrates Liquids Efficiently
The Vibro-Lab280 from SANI Membranes is a benchtop membrane filtration unit specifically engineered for R&D and laboratory environments. Utilizing Vibro® Technology, this system creates turbulence at the membrane surface, eliminating the need for a crossflow pump and reducing the risk of fouling. It offers unparalleled precision in microfiltration and ultrafiltration, applicable in industries ranging from biotech and pharmaceuticals to dairy and liquid food. Capable of processing volumes between 100 and 4000 mL, the Vibro-Lab280 ensures high transmission and operational control with a uniform transmembrane pressure under 0.1 bar. Its ease of setup, coupled with the option to use one or two cartridges, allows for versatility in membrane selection and application, making it ideal for developing processes involving algal extracts, protein concentrates, and more. The system supports various membrane materials, enhancing its adaptability to specific filtration requirements. Designed for minimal maintenance, the Vibro-Lab280 streamlines workflow while ensuring compliance with industry standards.
