TFF Cassettes | Sartorius

TFF Cassettes

Efficient filtration is a critical step in biopharmaceutical processing. Sartorius tangential flow filtration (TFF) cassettes provide high-performance separation in various upstream and downstream bioprocessing unit operations. They are available in a range of molecular weight cut-offs and micron range, from lab scale to process scale, in single-use and re-usable formats. When used together with associated TFF systems and filter holders, these TFF cassettes provide a complete seamless solution for efficient, robust, and reproducible TFF operations, including ultra- and microfiltration.

Advantages of Single-Use TFF Cassettes
  • Pre-flushed, sterile, ready to use.
  • No cleaning or "extended" water flush is required, which saves time on setup and validation.
  • High product yield and high sustained flux due to low-protein-binding membrane.
  • No glues used, resulting in low extractables|leachables

Membrane Materials

-->

Hydrosart®

Hydrosart® high-performance membrane is a stabilized cellulose-based membrane that has been optimized for biopharmaceutical process applications.

  • Stable across a broad pH range.
  • Extremely hydrophilic, making it non-protein binding and virtually non-fouling.
  • Membrane cleaning, storage and depyrogenation can be accomplished by using NaOH even at elevated temperatures and concentrations.

Polyethersulfone

The polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is well-established in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries.

  • Stable polymer that features a broad pH and temperature range.
  • Membrane regeneration, storage and depyrogenation can be accomplished by using NaOH even at elevated temperatures.
  • Ideally suited for biotechnology applications
