Compact cross-flow membrane filtration system for lab use
Optimize your lab’s filtration process with this compact system, perfect for testing and developing new liquid formulations with precision and reliability, ensuring high-quality results for small-batch productions.
The Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 is an integrated cross-flow membrane filtration system, ideal for laboratory and pilot-scale testing in food, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. It features a plate-and-frame configuration using Alfa Laval’s LabStak M10 module, capable of microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes. This equipment facilitates membrane screening by enabling simultaneous testing of two different membrane types, optimizing membrane selection for specific applications. The unit handles test volumes of 1-3 liters and supports operating temperatures up to 80°C, making it suitable for food and pharmaceutical processing under FDA and EEC regulations. Its design ensures direct integration into research and development setups, with simple membrane exchange and transparent observation capabilities. The LabUnit M10 is versatile in processing a variety of end-products, including dairy protein isolates, fruit juice concentrates, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
