Kerasep®-Bio Ceramic Membranes

More than 20 years of Experience in Ceramic Membranes forTangential Flow Filtration.

For more than 20 years, we have been designing and selling optimized ceramic membranes for biologics applications where high temperature or high concentrations of solvent are required as part of your process.

Solution for improving the separation of biologics

Experience:

We provide ceramic membranes for lab to industrial filtration, allowing easy and mastered process integration.

Products:

We offer Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) membranes from ultrafiltration to microfiltration including reliable ceramic Kerasep® membranes, for your biopharma applications.
We offer ceramic membranes especially adapted to solvent and/or SIP bio-applications.

Expertise:

At Novasep, teams of chemists, biochemists, process and chemical engineers combine their complementary talents to develop and continuously improve our technologies and services for the separation of your biologics.

Typical Applications for Tangential Flow Filtration Membranes

Kerasep® TFF membranes are ideally suited to the following downstream processing needs:

• Concentration,
• Purification,
• Extraction,
• Buffer exchange of:
• Cell cultures
• Viruses
• Endogenous/exogenous cell compounds
• Proteins
• Polysaccharides
