Polymeric Membrane Morphology
Microza* ultrafiltration membranes are unique in their construction.Every membrane has an asymmetric structure,with a membrane layer both on the inside, and on the outside of the fiber, overlaying a core comprising a very open support for excellent flow characteristics, and a central strengthening layer for outstanding fiber durability in long-term service.Microza ultrafiltration membranes are resistant to flow in both directions, so there is no risk of delamination or membrane rupture during accidental back-pressure.实际应用中，在许多装置内，可使用反冲恢复和保持长期运行期间的流量。
Microza micofiltration membranes have smooth inner and outer membrane skins with a highly porous symmetrical support structure giving high-flow rates.这类膜柱还可进行反冲洗。
All Microza membranes have surfaces that minimize entrapment and facilitate cleaning.所有 Microza 膜皆一步生产成型，且不含叠层。Membranes and modules are subjected to rigorous quality control to ensure consistency of performance, durability in service, and module integrity for the most demanding applications.
Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF)
PVDF membranes are widely used for the filtration of biological solutions.In hollow fiber format, these membranes show excellent retention characteristics, allowing use in critical applications where absolute removal over long periods is required.Lower non-specific binding than many PS membranes used in protein recovery applications ensures excellent results in leading-edge biotechnologyprocesses.PVDF membranes are steamable in situ for additional process security.PVDF exhibits superior chemical resistance to many other polymers used in microfiltration processes.
The U series of Microza hollow fiber microfiltration modules feature unique proprietary membranes in specially resistant PVDF for microfiltration applications.Available in 0.2 µm (UM series) and 0.65 µm (UJ series) rating, the modules are used in a range of pharmaceutical applications especially in cell harvesting, perfusion cell culture, viral vector production, and clarification of microbial extracts.

Microza Module Types
Microza hollow fiber modules are available with housings made from polysulfone (native, clear), filled polysulfone (white, opaque), and polyvinylchloride (PVC).Polysulfone modules will withstand autoclaving and in some cases steaming.Clear polysulfone modules are recommended for more critical pharmaceutical applications.Filled polysulfone and PVC modules are ideally suited to long term installations where light might cause biofilm to form, or for bulk processes involving light sensitive materials.PVC modules are idea for use in feed water systems and bulk processes.
Microza modules are available with industry standard clamp fittings on the feed and retentate side, and some with quick connects.All steamable modules designed for long term use in critical applications such as perfusion have sanitary clamp connections on the feed/retentate and filtrate sides, or filtrate hose barbs on laboratory scale modules.
Retrofitting Existing Applications
To retrofit an existing application,membrane rating should be chosen to be equivalent or superior in performance.For ultrafiltration membranes, this may require testing more than a single cut-off.Differences in membrane area and lumen diameter can typically be accommodated by adjustments to operating conditions to ensure that trans-membrane pressure and fluid velocity conditions at the membrane surface are similar.Hollow fiber modules can be joined end-to-end as required to create similar path length systems.Small adjustments to physical dimensions, and differences in connection type are accomplished using adapters.Please contact 上海羽令 for assistance with selecting the right modules to retrofit an existing installation.
