FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 sets of spacers do I need to run a single 0.5m2 Pellicon cassette in a benchtop holder? | Three spacers per tie rod are needed to run a single, 0.5m2 Pellicon cassette in a benchtop holder. The holder comes complete with 12 spacers. |
| 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. |

Categories
This stainless-steel cassette holder was built to handle sanitary applications and provide tangential flow filtration in a benchtop environment. It can be used as a:
- Stand-alone unit
- Extender – to expand existing cassette ultrafiltration (CUF) systems
- Replacement – for existing holders
Adjustable Filter Area
The unit can be equipped with the following tie rod configurations:
- Long Tie Rods – accommodating a filter area of up to 5 m2
- Short Tie Rods (Accessory) – for a filter area of 0.5 to 2.5 m2
Requirements
The unit must be connected to an existing sanitary pump and piping to accommodate tangential flow microporous filtration or ultrafiltration.
Benefits
- Sanitary Steel – 316L grade stainless steel surfaces provide a clean environment essential for the food, beverage and biotech industries
- Reusable Components – connect your existing sanitary pump and plumbing equipment to this Pellicon® holder
