ULTRAN® - Slice LVV membrane cassette system

 

 

ULTRAN<sup>®</sup> - Slice LVV membrane cassette system
> ULTRAN - silce LVV filter holder
The ULTRAN® - Slice Low Void Volume (LVV) membrane cassette system is used to process volumes between 100 mL and 5 litres with the use of both ultra and microfiltration membranes. The membrane cassettes are equipped with special high-performance membranes working on the crossflow principle. 

 

The cassette geometry of the Slice-LVV system corresponds exactly to the ULTRAN - Slice system but is, in contrast, equipped with smaller apertures. This reduces the retention volume in the system as a whole and allows small volumes to be processed in real crossflow operation.

The ULTRAN - Slice LVV system is ideally suitable for applications in which a subsequent scaling-up to ULTRAN - Slice is intended. The LVV cassette corresponds to 1/10 of a Slice cassette.

The stainless steel filter holder is free from welding seams and newly developed connector types make the link-up to conventional Tri-Clamp connections. In this way ferrite-free and therefore corrosion-free contact surfaces can be ensured; this is of crucial importance when buffers containing salts are being used.

Cassette Configurations

 

ULTRAN<sup>®</sup> - Slice LVV membrane cassette system
> ULTRAN - weld free connections

Two cassette configurations are offered which differ in their retentate channel design. With Screen cassettes the channel is filled with a polymeric screen which creates turbulent flow at the membrane's surface, thus preventing gel layer formation and providing a constant filtration rate. This configuration is suitable for molecular soluted biomolecules

The open configuration of the so-called open channel cassettes is provided by spacers allowing for filtration even with particle loaded product flows. This configuration is particularly suitable for applications such as cell harvesting, particulate removal and filtration of highly viscous solutions.
