Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosure provides tangential flow depth filtration (TFDF) systems which exhibit improved filter fluxes and process capacities and reduced fouling characteristics. The TFDF systems of the disclosure optionally utilize tubular depth filters (TDF). Methods are provided which include the passage of a non-laminar flow through at least a portion of a length of a TDF in a TFDF system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of harvesting a bioproduct, comprising: passing a cell culture media tangentially through at least one tubular depth filter (TDF) having a first end and a second end, wherein said passing the cell culture media comprises introducing a non-laminar fluid flow through the first end of the TDF by operating a system comprising the TDF at a filter flux above 400 Lm −2 h −1 (LMH) and a shear rate of less than 16,000 s −1 . 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Reynolds number of the flow through the first end is greater than about 2300. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 50% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a product of a feed velocity of the flow through the first end and an inner diameter of the at least one TDF is greater than 2500 mm2s-1. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one TDF comprises an inner diameter of at least 1 mm and comprising a porous wall having a thickness of at least 100 μm. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Reynolds number of the flow through the first end is greater than about 2500. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 51% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Reynolds number of the flow through the first end is greater than about 3000. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 52% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Reynolds number of the flow through the first end is greater than about 3500. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 53% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Reynolds number of the flow through the first end is greater than about 4000. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 54% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 55% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 56% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 57% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 58% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 59% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer. 19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TDF comprises a porous polymer wall comprising a density of about 60% of a density of an equivalent solid volume of the polymer.
