FiberFlo - TF 1680 - Hollow Fiber Crossflow Filtration Datasheet

FiberFlo® TF 1680Hollow Fiber Crossflow FiltrationFiberFlo TF 1680 Cartridges are made using the unique polysulfone hollow fiber membranes available only from Mar Cor Purification. The TF Cartridge is available in a pore size of 0.1µm and 0.05µm, 0.2µm & 0.45µm pore sizes are available for pre-assessment.Dependable Membrane PerformanceThe Hollow Fiber membrane is produced in a registered FDA medical device facility under an extensive quality program compliant with ISO 13485:2003 standard. Each membrane lot is tested to rigorous standards resulting in very consistent performance not only within each lot but also from lot to lot.Hollow Fiber Membrane StructureIdeal for separation and purification applications, the polysulfone fibers have a graded pore size structure with a “skin” on the inside of the fibers. Fluids, even with varying viscosities, flow easily through the center of the fibers (inside the lumens) with the skin resistant to fouling by materials in the fluidsProduct ConfigurationFiberFlo TF 1680 cartridges are available for use in pilot and small production scale environments; stainless steel housing required. The TF 1680 cartridges have much higher membrane surface area than small scale laboratory capsules, also available from Mar Cor Purification, making them ideal for scale up from laboratory batch volumes to pilot and small production batch volumes.Typical ApplicationsThe Microfiltration membranes are ideal for many applications in biotechnology that include:• Latex microparticle washing & coating• Cell concentration• Cell Debris removal• Cell harvest• Cell perfusion • Multi-particle washingTraceabilityEach cartridge has a unique serial number etched into the case. Each is packaged in two sealed plastic pouches. Each shipping carton also contains a Certificate of Compliance and the Directions for UseMar Cor Purification14550 28th Avenue NorthPlymouth, MN 55447Tel: (484) 991-0220 Toll Free: (800) 633-3080Fax: (763) 210-3868Mar Cor Purification3250 Harvester Road - Unit 6Burlington, ON L7N 3W9Tel: (905) 639-7025Toll Free: (800) 268-5035Fax: (905) 639-0425Mar Cor PurificationSourethweg 116422 PC HeerlenThe NetherlandsTel: (+31) 45 5471 471Fax: (+31) 45 5429 695Mar Cor Purification 1A International Business Park, #05-01Singapore 609933Tel: (+65) 6227 9698Fax: (+65) 6225 6848©2011 Mar Cor Purification.
