Benchtop membrane filtration for process development

In laboratory settings and small-scale production, achieving efficient microfiltration and ultrafiltration is crucial. Conventional filtration methods often struggle with membrane fouling and require complex setups, making process optimization challenging.

Facilitates advanced filtration with minimal complexity

The Vibro-Lab280 from Sanimembranes is a benchtop filtration solution designed to streamline process development and improve filtration efficiency. The system leverages Vibro® Technology to create turbulence at the membrane, eliminating the risk of fouling and ensuring high transmission rates. This unit is capable of fitting one or two cartridges, providing a flexible working volume ranging between 100–4000 mL. Operating at pressures from 0 to 2 bar(g), it supports both microfiltration and ultrafiltration applications. The compact footprint of 51 x 18 cm minimizes space requirements, and the reduced complexity of the setup, which requires no crossflow pump or cooling system, simplifies operation. The Vibro-Lab280 is ideal for the biotech, pharma, dairy, and liquid food industries, among others.
