CellFlo® Modules


Disposable Hollow Fiber Tangential Flow Modules for Cell Separations

Distributed in Europe by JM Separations

Product Searches:



Spectrum disposable CellFlo hollow fiber membranes are specially designed for the gentle and efficient separation of whole cells in microfiltration, bioreactor perfusion and culture harvest applications. Much like our own circulatory system, CellFlo combines the advantages of tangential flow microfiltration (0,2 µm and 0,5 µm pores sizes) with larger hollow fiber flow channels (1 mm ID) to provide gentler efficacious micro-separations without the risk of cell lysis. Other cell separation technologies have a higher risk of lysis resulting in ruptured cells and culture harvests contaminated with intracellular macromolecules. Perfectly suited for continuous cell perfusion and bacterial fermentation, CellFlo membranes isolate secreted proteins while eliminating spent media containing metabolic wastes and drawing in fresh nutrient-rich media. Consequently, CellFlo enables cultures to grow to a higher cell density with higher viability providing as much as a ten-fold increase of daily production of secreted proteins.

Whether performing a cell perfusion or conducting a simple microfiltration, disposable CellFlo modules can either be autoclaved or purchased irradiated (irr) for quick sterile assembly. Spectrum offers disposable CellFlo membrane modules in the full range of MiniKros and KrosFlo sizes and surface areas for processing volumes ranging from 500 mL to 1.000 liters. All CellFlo membranes have a 1 mm fiber inner diameter, available in 0,2 µm and 0,5 µm pore sizes.
