Semi-automated Tangential Flow Filtration System
Product Introduction
Alioth Semi-automated Tangential Flow Filtration System adopts modular design. It may be designed as desktop- or ground-based version, and can be equipped with a rotor pump or a diaphragm pump. With holders of different areas, it can automatically control tangential flow rate or inlet pressure, TMP and ΔP, thus purifying the liquid of antibodies, vaccines, blood products and gene therapy drugs through concentrating, exchanging fluid, desalting, dealcoholizing and other purification operations. This system enables a certain level of automation and also meets the requirements for data integrity. It is an ideal choice for laboratory process development, pilot-scale clinical drug production, and large-scale commercial production.
