FilterTec Advantage:

• Patented filtration method provides significant cost savings. This automated method results in a 30-50% increase in filter capacity utilization.
• Dedicated application tools for filterability testing and Vmax determination with automated data collection of up 15 filtration parameters.
• No need for manual data collection.
• The FilterTec is easy to use and has a small (6” x11”) footprint.

Automated Normal Flow Filtration (NFF):
Laboratory Filtration, up to 4.0 liters/min

• FilterTec NFF System provides significant cost savings when used with any commercially available membrane or depth filters.
• The FilterTec utilizes a peristaltic pump head as well as a disposable pressure sensor (see SciLog’s disposable sensors).
• A user-selected pump rate (or time-based rate ramp) is implemented until a user-defined pressure level is reached, e.g. 20 psi.
• At this point, the filter is substantially plugged-up, the FilterTec switches from a rate control to a pressure controlled fluid delivery.
• The FilterTec automatically maintained the selected pressure limit by modulating, i.e. decreasing, the pump output.
• When the pump output reaches a user-selected lower pump rate limit, e.g. 1 ml/min, the FilterTec safely stops the filtration process.

Automated Filter Capacity Determination, Vmax:
Generates/documents Filtration Scale-up Data

• For Vmax determinations the FilterTec utilizes a pressure sensor and an electronic scale. The FilterTec rapidly ramps up the pump rate and maintains a user-selected pressure.
• The FilterTec collects and documents the filtrate weight.
• The parameter “Time/Filtrate Weight” is plotted against “Time”. The inverse of the resulting slope represents Vmax.
• Up to 15 filtration parameters are monitored and documented during filtrate collection. (listed below)
