SepraPor® Cartridges
SepraPor® Microporous Hollow Fiber Filter Cartridges
SepraPor® tangential flow hollow fiber filtration cartridges are available in a range of sizes to scale from lab applications to full-scale production, with effective filtration areas (EFA) from 0.4 m2 to 8.3 m2. The cartridges are designed to retrofit stainless steel housings for steam-in-place (SIP) or autoclave sterilization. Microporous SepraPor® hollow fiber filter cartridges are available in porosity ratings of 0.1 µm, 0.2 µm, and 0.45 µm.
Which SepraPor® Tangential Flow Filter Should You Use?
Our interactive Shear Rate Calculator tool will calculate the shear rate for a given filter diameter and recirculation (volumetric flow) rate to help you determine the optimal SepraPor® filter size for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges?
Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges are filtration devices designed for tangential flow filtration processes. They consist of hollow fiber membranes configured within a cartridge housing, enabling efficient separation and concentration of biomolecules. These cartridges are engineered to retrofit stainless steel housings and support steam-in-place (SIP) or autoclave sterilization methods.
What applications are Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges used for?
Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges are used primarily in biopharmaceutical manufacturing for processes such as cell harvesting, concentration, diafiltration, and clarification. They facilitate separation of cells, proteins, and other biomolecules in upstream and downstream processing steps, supporting sterile and scalable filtration operations.
What specifications or sizes are available for Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges?
Specific size and specification details for Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges depend on the membrane pore size, surface area, and cartridge dimensions tailored to retrofit standard stainless steel housings. These cartridges are designed to withstand steam-in-place (SIP) or autoclave sterilization. For detailed specifications, consult product datasheets or technical documentation provided by the manufacturer.
What makes Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges unique?
These cartridges are unique due to their compatibility with existing stainless steel housings, enabling retrofit without extensive system modifications. They support validated sterilization methods including SIP and autoclaving, ensuring aseptic processing. The hollow fiber configuration allows tangential flow filtration, which minimizes membrane fouling and maintains high filtration efficiency.
How do Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges integrate with other systems?
Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges integrate by retrofitting into standard stainless steel filtration housings within bioprocess systems. They connect with upstream fluid transfer components and downstream processing equipment via sanitary fittings. Their design supports integration into automated and manual filtration setups, maintaining process sterility and compatibility with standard bioprocessing infrastructure.
Are Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges suitable for regulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing?
Yes, Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges are suitable for regulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing. They are constructed to meet industry standards for sterile processing, including compatibility with steam-in-place (SIP) and autoclave sterilization. Their design supports GMP-compliant processes and facilitates validation and documentation required for regulatory submissions.
Can Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges be customized?
Customization options for Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges may include membrane material selection, pore size, surface area, and cartridge dimensions to meet specific process requirements. Customization ensures compatibility with existing housings and process parameters. For detailed customization capabilities, consultation with the manufacturer or technical support is recommended.
What other products are commonly used with Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges?
Common complementary products used alongside Tangential Flow Hollow Fiber Cartridges include upstream fluid transfer components such as M-Flex® TPE Tubing, M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing, and BioFlex® Fluid Path Assemblies. Support accessories like FlexCessory™ Support Accessories and sanitary connection components such as UltraClamp™ Sanitary Clamps are also commonly integrated to facilitate fluid handling and system assembly.
