The tangential flow filtration tff system is a membrane separation technology that utilizes tangential flow, where the liquid flows parallel to the surface of the membrane, enabling effective molecular sieving. Unlike traditional forward filtration, the TFF tangential flow filtration system continuously sweeps the membrane surface, which helps reduce fouling and clogging, thus increasing both filtration flux and the membrane's lifespan. The TFF filtration system is commonly used for liquid concentration, purification, particle removal, and other high-efficiency separation applications.
Ease of Assembly and Use: The TFF system is simple to set up. By connecting the system to a pump and pressure gauge using tubing and fittings, and adding your sample to the reservoir, you can start the filtration process immediately.
Fast and Efficient: This method is more convenient and faster than dialysis. Achieving higher concentrations takes less time compared to using centrifugation or stirred tanks.
Dual-Step Process in One System: The system allows both concentration and diafiltration (buffer exchange) to be performed within the same setup, saving time and avoiding product loss.
Scalability: The TFF tangential flow filtration system can be scaled up or down based on the application. Through adjustments in structural materials and the membrane module’s path length, parameters defined during pilot tests can be applied to larger-scale production. TFF systems can handle sample volumes as small as 10mL or as large as several thousand liters.
Cost-Effectiveness: The TFF system's equipment and membrane modules are reusable, or they can be discarded after a single use. Simple integrity testing ensures the membrane module and seals are intact, further lowering costs.
