Centramate™ & Centramate PE Lab Tangential Flow Systems

Suitable for Process Development and
Small-Scale Production of 1 to 125 L

• Filtration area is easily expanded by adding additional membrane cassettes
• Identical fluid path lengths provide precise linear scale-up to larger process systems available from Pall Corporation
• Cassettes can be easily removed without disassembling system plumbing
• Systems are available with Type 316L stainless steel (Centramate system) or economically priced, extremely durable, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (Centramate PE system)
• Variety of membrane types provide versatility to the systems

• Perform laboratory trials and pilot scale processing  
• Concentration of biomolecules
• Recovery and purification of biomolecules
• Diafiltration and desalting 
• Fractionation of mixed molecule solutions
