Harvest of Mammalian Cell Cultivations

In the following example, the Vibro® Membrane Filtration (VMF) technology is used for the critical solid/liquid separation following cultivation of mammalian cells. Description: Vibro® technology has proven to be an effective means of cell removal from cultivation broth, both in microbial and…

API Concentration & Recovery

Fed batch process intensification and simplification using VMF technology

In the following example, the Vibro® Technology is applied in an extracellular API process where the fermentation broth is processed directly, and a concentrated API is achieved. Description: The fermentation broth is processed in a Vibro-I microfiltration unit where the cells are separated…

Recovery and Concentration of Protein

Fed batch process intensification and simplification using VMF technology

In this example, VMF is applied for an extracellular protein process, where the fermentation broth is processed directly, and a concentrated protein is achieved. Description: The fermentation broth is processed in a Vibro® microfiltration unit, where the cells are separated…

Concentration of E.Coli

A petri dish containing e.coli bacteria

In this example, the fermentation broth containing E. coli bacteria has been harvested and concentrated directly from the harvest tank using VMF technology. Description: VMF is characterized by having very low flow resistance and being capable of uniform TMP, while…

Single step clarification of API

In this example, VMF is used for an extracellular clarification process, where the fermentation broth is processed directly to a clear, and a cleaned API/protein is achieved. Description: Due to the unique VMF technology, this setup can also be used…

Algae Harvest

In the following example, the Vibro® Membrane Filtration (VMF) technology is used for algae harvest and concentration. Description: Algae culture from a pond or a photo bioreactor is processed continuously or as batch with plug flow through a Vibro-I preconcentration system…
