General description
Prostak™ MF Module are a tangential flow filtration device in a stacked plate configuration with Type V screen open feed channel. A microporous membrane, Durapore® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), is bonded on both sides of each plate. The plates are then stacked in parallel forming stacks.
This Prostak™ microfiltration open-channel module features a Pore Size of 0.1 μm and a filtration area of 0.17 m2. PSVVAG021 is available in a 2 stack, making it applicable for bench-top, pilot, and production scale systems.
The modules can be integrity tested and steam sterilized for 20 cycles.
Prostak™ MF modules must be used with a support holder, which controls deflection and provides sanitary fittings for connection to external piping. Sanitary gaskets supplied with the module provide a leak-free connection between the module(s) and the holder.
