System do filtracji tangencjalnej Minimate

Systemy do prowadzenia filtracji tangencjalnej w skali laboratoryjnej do zatężania, odsalania i procesów wymiany buforowej.
Minimate™ tangential flow filtration Systems, a Pall Life Sciences product, streamlines lab-scale concentration, desalting, and buffer exchange processes. The Minimate™ TFF system includes all the hardware, tubing, and fittings needed to get your TFF process up and running quickly.

High concentration factors. The low system working volume achieved through the use of a conical bottom reservoir and compact design enables high concentration factors from up to 1 L or more of sample to be achieved. Concentrate your sample down to as little as 5 mL.
All wetted components are made from low protein binding, chemically resistant, biologically safe materials.
Minimal sample carryover. The system has a very low volume and interior fluid contact area. Fluid does not pass through and is not retained in the pump mechanism.
Roller head peristaltic pumps provide gentle processing and are the choice for critical applications such as fragile biomolecules.
System components are designed for easy assembly and disassembly; no tools required. Tubing and fitting replacement is simple and quick. Slip nuts for luer locks eliminate tubing kinks.

Performance
Designed to work with the Minimate TFF Capsule, this easy-to-use system can process sample volumes up to 1 L or more and efficiently concentrate samples to as little as 5 mL. Subsequent desalting or buffer exchange steps can be run on the same system with minimal user intervention.

The ready-to-use Minimate TFF System includes a Masterflex♦ L/S♦ variable speed peristaltic pump, Masterflex L/S Easy-Load♦ pump head, as well as a 0 - 4 bar (0 - 60 psi) pressure gauge, valves, 500 mL reservoir with magnetic stir bar, and stir plate all assembled on a compact drip tray. The use of a peristaltic pump with disposable tubing and fittings minimizes sample cross contamination while providing gentle processing for biomolecules. All wetted parts meet United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Biological Reactivity Test, In Vivo <88>.

The reservoir is designed to hold up to 500 mL of sample and provides efficient mixing of product. The tapered bottom and optimally located feed and return ports reduce the system hold-up volume, which allows high concentration factors to be achieved. The reservoir lid seals tightly allowing additional sample volume or diafiltration solution to be drawn directly into the reservoir without the need of a transfer pump. Vacuum is created as filtrate is generated through the TFF device allowing continuous diafiltration to be performed. When it's time to retrieve your sample, simply open the valve on the reservoir outlet and pump out your sample.
