摘要 |
<p>The present invention is directed to hollow fiber membrane filtration modules and processes useful for improved tangential flow filtration-mediated purification and separation of molecules from mixtures of molecules, wherein those molecules may be of biological interest. The hollow fiber membrane filtration modules of the present invention are such that the transmembrane pressure along the entire length of the hollow fibers is substantially constant, thereby providing enhanced filtration capabilities, especially for large-scale recombinant protein purification. The hollow fiber filtration modules of the present invention may be employed either with or without co-current recirculation of the filtrate.</p> |
