Maximize Filter Efficiency: Study Reveals Key Design Optimization

📢 Fouling of hollow fiber filter membranes in perfusion cell cultures can cause unstable processes and failures. 🔍 A recent study compared filters from three manufacturers and found that larger internal diameters and shorter filter lengths reduce fouling. 💡 Filters with 0.2 μm pore size and 2.6 mm internal diameter maintained high product sieving and low hydraulic resistance. ⚙️ The study suggests that optimizing the design of hollow fiber filters can help maximize membrane area and reduce fouling. 🧪
