Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Tangential flow filtration device is provided wherein liners are provided between the filtration element and the top and bottom holders or manifolds. The liners incorporate the flow channels and inlet and outlet ports that were previously present in the manifolds.

In addition, the liners can be pre-sterilized.
