Millipore launched the new Cogent uScale tangential flow filtration (TFF) system for both process development and low volume sample preparation at Interphex 2008 in Philadelphia
The Cogent uScale TFF system is an easy-to-use, semi-automated bench top system that has been designed to fully support TFF process development at the 'microscale' using up to three Pellicon 3 88cm2 cassettes (264cm2).
With a low minimum working volume, the ability to operate at feed pressures up to 80psig (5.5 bar) and very low pulsation, the system fully supports both scaling studies and low volume ultrafiltration and diafiltration (UF/DF) work using Pellicon 3 cassettes.
The system can also be configured to process up to three Pellicon XL-50 TFF devices, and is ideal for purifying and concentrating monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines, gene therapy constructs, blood serum products and other cell derived components.
In combination with Millipore's industry leading Pellicon 3 TFF cassette technology, the Cogent uScale TFF system will enhance the productivity of process developers and research scientists alike.
