Millipore Filter Pellicon 2 Mini Cassette with 10 kD Biomax Membrane

Description

Millipore P2B010A01 Pellicon® 2 Mini TFF Cassette (10 kD Biomax® PES, 0.1 m²)

The Millipore P2B010A01 is a high-performance Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) cassette engineered for the concentration, desalting, and buffer exchange of proteins, enzymes, and monoclonal antibodies. This unit utilizes the 10 kD Molecular Weight Cut-Off (MWCO) Biomax® modified Polyethersulfone (mPES) membrane, renowned for its high flux rates and exceptionally low non-specific binding characteristics. Designed with the “A-Screen” (coarse-channel) feed spacer, the P2B010A01 is optimized to handle higher protein concentrations and moderately viscous solutions that would typically clog finer screens. With a 0.1 m² effective filtration area, this Pellicon® 2 Mini cassette is the primary choice for process development and pilot-scale bioproduction.

Technical Performance and Design

• Biomax® mPES Membrane: The modified polyethersulfone chemistry provides a hydrophilic surface that minimizes protein adsorption, ensuring high product recovery and easy cleaning for repeated use.

• A-Screen (Coarse Channel) Geometry: The open-channel design provides a robust flow path that reduces the risk of gel-layer formation and channel plugging, making it ideal for processing high-titer cell culture harvests and concentrated protein streams.

• Validated 10 kD Retention: Specifically engineered to provide sharp molecular weight cut-offs, making it ideal for the retention of antibodies (IgG) and other mid-sized proteins (~30 kDa to 150 kDa) while effectively removing salts and small metabolites.

• Rugged Construction: The Pellicon® 2 Mini format is built for durability and consistency, allowing for predictable scale-up to larger Pellicon® 2 industrial systems used in commercial manufacturing.
