Agilitech TFF Skids

Single Use Tangential Flow Filtration System Agilitech
A unique open system design provides complete flexibility to meet your current application needs, while future-proofing the system to easily and cost-effectively scale along with your process.

T1000 single-use tangential flow filtration system for large scale manufacturing

This Agilitech single use tangential flow filtration system is designed to streamline your bioprocess, increase sample recovery, and reduce the cost of consumables. Every part of the single use filtration system features best-in-class components to optimize performance, providing users distinct advantages when compared to similar systems.

Optimal transmembrane pressure is maintained to optimize filter performance throughout the filtration process. Combined with an air modulated diaphragm pressure control valve, retentate pressure reaches set point quickly to achieve the desired TMP, eliminating pump pulsations and pinching control valves.

The Agilitech TFF system is uniquely designed to limit shear on product, maximizing yield. It maximizes product recovery in the recirculation bag as users can easily disconnect the tubing from the TFF skid and transfer the recirculation bag to the next step for further processing. The result: fewer consumables, reduced cost, and the elimination of project delays resulting from supply chain issues with consumables.

The Single-use TFF System is offered in two models. The T750 has a 250 L tank capacity, and the T1000 has a tank size of up to 1000 L. Both models feature an open system design to provide complete flexibility for our expert engineers to adapt the TFF skid to meet specific user requirements.
