FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the minimum working volume for the Pellicon system? | Depending on the length of tubing involved and the set up of the system, it is possible to bring the working volume down to 150 mL for the standard holder. With the low retentate holder (catalog number XX42PRV60, acrylic), it is possible to bring the working volume down to 50 mL. |
| What are turbulence promoters? | Turbulence promoters are screens that are inserted into the feed and/or filtrate channels in TFF modules in order to increase the "turbulence" in the channels of the module and to reduce the occurence of concentration polarization (the gel layer that can form on membranes therefore slowing flux). These turbulence promoted channels allow for higher fluxes with lower pumping requirements which makes them more efficient than open channels without turbulence promoters. |
| How many cassettes (0.5m2 or 2.5 m2 Maxi) can you stack into the Pellicon II holder? | The systems are shipped with long tie rods (catalog number XX42P0L64 for acrylic holders and XX42P0L62 for stainless steel holders) you may stack up to 10 cassettes of 0.5 m2 each, or two Maxi cassettes. If you have the short tie rods, you may stack up to 5 cassettes of 0.5 m2 each for a total area of 2.5 m2, or one Maxi cassette of 2.5 m2. |

This product is perfect for anyone who needs a benchtop cassette holder versatile enough to support either microporous or ultrafiltration tangential flow filtration.
Benefits
- Linear Scale-up – a single Pellicon® acrylic holder has up to 10 times the linear scale-up potential in filter area (Note: increased pump capacity is required for scale-up).
- High Product Recoveries – due to low hold-up volumes.
- Utilizing Existing Equipment – all equipment is included to connect to your existing peristaltic tubing pump (pump not included). An interchangeable selection of fittings and pumps is also available for changing system capabilities.
- Production Range – depending upon your needs, between 1 and 500 liter batches can be filtered – in either a matter of minutes or a few hours.
