Spectrum advances hollow fiber TFF for gentle and efficient cell separations by offering CellFlo Plus modules with a variety of convenient connection options. Plus Connections provide a multitude of system connection combinations that simplify both the initial system set up as well as the replacement of Spectrum's disposable membranes, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of contamination. CellFlo Plus modules are available in the same sizes and surface areas as Spectrum's popular CellFlo pilot scale and lab scale modules with the same high quality and disposable pricing. All CellFlo Plus membrane use 1 mm ID hollow fiber membrane to reduce shear stress with a pore rating of 0.2 µm or 0.5 µm. CellFlo Plus can either be autoclaved or purchased irradiated (irr).

CellFlo Plus filters are available is a variety of sizes
