Advanced Engineering Features
Uniform Hydraulic Distribution: Custom-engineered manifolds ensure equal flow velocity and pressure across all membrane modules, minimizing localized fouling.
Linear Scalability: Geometric and hydrodynamic similarity across lab, pilot, and production scales guarantees predictable performance scale-up.
Flexible System Architectures: Available in Single-Use (SU) options to eliminate cross-contamination, Stainless Steel (Multi-Use) systems for robust durability, or Hybrid configurations.
Process Adaptability: Decoupled control of cross-flow velocity and transmembrane pressure enables optimal processing of shear-sensitive biopharmaceuticals.
Process-to-System Mapping
We translate your specific biological process requirements into precise system configurations:
1. Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Purification
Stage: Post-harvest concentration & diafiltration.
Membrane: 30–100 kDa ultrafiltration (Ultrafiltration cassettes/hollow fiber).
Configuration: Single-use flow path or Stainless Steel GMP skid.
Engineering Focus: Low-shear pump control and precise, automated TMP regulation.
2. Recombinant Protein Processing
Stage: Concentration and buffer exchange.
Membrane: 10–100 kDa (depending on molecular weight).
Configuration: Automated pilot or industrial-scale skid.
Engineering Focus: High-recovery design with optimized drainability.
3. Cell Culture Harvest Clarification
Stage: Primary separation / removal of whole cells and cell debris.
Membrane: 0.1–0.45 um microfiltration.
Configuration: Industrial cross-flow system with high-capacity pumps.
Engineering Focus: Fouling resistance and robust performance during long-cycle runs.
4. Fermentation Broth Processing
Stage: Clarification and target molecule recovery from high-density biomass.
Configuration: High-solids industrial TFF system.
Engineering Focus: Enhanced channel spacing and heavy-duty circulation loops to handle high particulate loads.
Process Principle
Tangential flow filtration separates components by circulating feed liquid parallel to the membrane surface while applying transmembrane pressure (TMP). This flow pattern reduces direct particle buildup and helps maintain stable filtration performance over longer operation cycles.
Compared with dead-end filtration, TFF is more suitable for:
- Protein-rich solutions with fouling risk
- Processes requiring high product recovery
- Continuous or semi-continuous downstream operations
Operating Conditions
System operation is adjusted according to process requirements:
TMP is controlled based on membrane type and product sensitivity
Cross-flow velocity is adjusted through pump speed and loop design
Flux performance depends on feed composition and solids loading
System supports stable long-duration recirculation operation
System Configuration Options
Each system can be configured according to process needs:
Membrane selection based on molecule size and separation target
Flow path design for single-use or reusable operation
Skid-mounted configuration for industrial production
Automation level from manual control to PLC system
Optional inline sensors for real-time process monitoring
Quality Assurance
To ensure seamless site integration and cGMP qualification, every Jiuling TFF system undergoes rigorous testing prior to dispatch:
Pressure & Leak Testing: Hydrostatic and pneumatic integrity tests of the entire circulation loop.
Hydrodynamic Calibration: Pump performance curve and flow stability validation.
Automation & Loop Checks: Soft-testing of PLC logic, sensor calibration checks, and alarm/interlock verification.
Material Traceability: Provision of MTRs (Material Test Reports), surface roughness certifications, and USP Class VI certificates.
Validation Documentation: Full DQ/IQ/OQ protocols are available to support your internal validation processes. For large-scale installations, modular skid designs are utilized to simplify transport and accelerate Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).
Export Packaging & Global Logistics
Jiuling ensures secure international delivery through specialized export packing protocols:
Heavy-Duty Packaging: Reinforced ISPM-15 compliant wooden crates.
Shock & Vibration Protection: Internal cushioning and heavy-duty tie-downs for high-precision components, pumps, and control enclosures.
Climate Safeguards: Moisture-absorbent barriers and vacuum-sealed wrapping to protect electronic circuits and sensors during sea transit.
Flexible Logistics: Support for Sea Freight (FCL/LCL for industrial skids), Air Freight (for critical pilot systems), and full DDP/DDU door-to-door logistics execution.
