Cross-flow membrane filtration for lab use

Performs Cross-Flow Filtration and Membrane Testing

The LabStak™ M10 from Alfa Laval is a compact and versatile cross-flow membrane filtration module designed for laboratory and small-scale testing environments. It distinguishes itself by allowing simultaneous testing of two different membrane types within a plate-and-frame configuration, facilitating efficient process optimization and membrane selection. Engineered for applications in biopharmaceuticals, food processing, and research labs, the unit supports a wide range of membranous filtration processes, including ultrafiltration and microfiltration. With a membrane area of 336 cm², it easily accommodates high operating temperatures up to 80°C, handling small test media volumes of 1-3 liters with precise control. Benefitting from a transparent plate for visualizing cross-flow dynamics, the LabStak™ M10 streamlines experimentation with a flow pattern mirroring larger-scale modules, ensuring accurate scale-up predictions. Its compliance with FDA and ECC regulations enhances suitability for food and pharmaceutical processing applications. Integrated within the Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 system, the module includes essential components such as a pump, valve, and heat exchanger for complete versatility and ease of use.
