Millipore MpodPilot Enerpac Filtration System

• Biopharmaceutical research and development, particularly for protein purification and cell harvesting.
• Small-scale production in pharmaceutical manufacturing for sterile filtration and clarification.
• Laboratory-scale process development and optimisation for various filtration steps.
• Food and beverage industry for clarification, sterilisation, and concentration of sensitive products.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, processing volumes typically range from several litres up to tens of litres per batch.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard laboratory single-phase power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Filtration method

The MpodPilot system typically employs tangential flow filtration (TFF) or cross-flow filtration principles.

Membrane compatibility

This system is commonly compatible with a range of Millipore Pellicon cassettes, allowing for various membrane pore sizes and materials.

Control system

Units typically feature integrated control systems for managing flow rates, pressures, and other filtration parameters.

Footprint

For a pilot-scale system, the footprint is typically suitable for benchtop or small mobile cart installation within a laboratory or pilot plant environment.
