A Guide on Membrane Selection

The most common membrane modules used in the Biotech industry for Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) are cassettes, hollow fiber and ceramic membranes. Each membrane type has certain characteristics (see Table 1) in terms of batch volume, sensibility to and with product type, and its own lifetime, that makes it more or less suitable for a specific broth or application.

5 steps into Scale-Up of Microbial Fermentation

The Continuous Process in the context of a bioreactor operation mode is used to prolong the production phase of a culture during its growth in a steady-state (at a constant rate and in constant conditions) to achieve higher biomass and/or metabolites amounts. There are two main process control strategies that can be implemented in Continuous Processing: the chemostat and the turbidostat methods.
