Tangential flow filtration system for cell harvesting
In cell culture processes, efficiently separating cells from culture media can be challenging due to varying cell densities and the need to maintain cell viability. Traditional methods often fall short in achieving high yields without compromising cell quality.

Ensure optimal cell recovery and viability.
The Sartorius Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) system is designed to address the complexities of cell harvesting by utilizing a cross-flow technique, where liquid feed passes tangentially along the surface of the filter. This system from Sartorius AG ensures cells are not subjected to high shear forces, maintaining cell viability and productivity. With high-performance filtration capabilities, it can effectively remove bacteria and mycoplasma, ensuring a clean product. The system is suitable for various scales of operation, from lab to industrial use, and can achieve a high filtration flux, reducing process time. It also supports single-use setups which minimize contamination risks and enhance process efficiency.
