Explorer
WaterSep's membranes are manufactured using a unique combination of modified polyethersulfone (PES) and a proprietary spinning process. The result is a filter that exhibits exceptional chemical and physical properties. The antifouling properties of the membrane make it ideal for most applications involving lipids, as well as antifoam agents commonly used in fermentation broths. PES also meets the strictest regulatory requirements of biopharmaceutical processing. WaterSep membranes have a unique void-free structure, which is significanly stronger than competitive "finger void" membranes. This structure results in a stronger cartridge with a longer surface life and significanly lower risk for fiber breakage and product loss. The membrane also has a very high water and process permeability, resulting in higher process capacity and lower cost of ownership.
The Explorer laboratory hollow fiber cartridges are developed for membrane screening, scale down studies and processing of smaller sample volumes between 500ml and 15 L.
The Explorer products are available in 12", 24" and 41" fiber lengths, and the membrane is identical with the Investigator and the Producer line, which make the ideal for process development and optimization studies. The Explorer is well suited for food and beverage, biopharmaceutical and industrial laboratory applications. Recommended batch volume per cartridge 1-5L or 0.6-1.8 L/h.
