Armfield has launched two R&D-focused products: the FT18-MkII modular cross-flow filtration and FT85 aseptic vessel.
The FT18-MkII supersedes the FT18 and provides compatibility with ceramic, spiral wound, hollow fibre and tubular membranes.
The Armfield FT18 MKII is a small pilot scale cross-flow filtration system designed to operate with a range of membrane module configurations. It can operate with as little as 5-10 litres of material, but still give data that is useful for process scale-up. It can be used over the full range of cross-flow filtration applications from micro-filtration through to reverse osmosis. It is the perfect tool to use, following on from flat sheet membrane trials with the FT17, for further process development and scale-up.
The FT85 aseptic vessel can form part of an aseptic line where larger quantities of sterile product are involved. The vessel is controlled via the unit’s touchscreen and Armfield’s own software system and intuitive interface, and can be used in-line with any of Armfield’s HTST/UHT systems, in order to store sterile product prior to forward operation. The FT85 is also wheel mounted, so can be easily moved around the lab if required.
