Millipore has announced the availability of its MilliTrace primary rodent neural stem cell (NSC) lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) constitutively
Developed as a self-contained device, each Pod is a single-use filter that reduces the need for clean-in-place (CIP) procedures.
This minimises costs associated with water usage, cleaning and validation.
The design not only protects operators from exposure to process fluids, but also allows the units to be drained before change-out for lighter devices that are easier to move.
In addition, the design and construction of the Pods can reduce hold-up volume from 40-73% over typical configurations of lenticular discs, providing an increase in product yield.
The modular Pod platform delivers process scalability and flexibility.
Without changing hardware, customers can run their system in serial or parallel configurations to meet specific process and batch size requirements of 20 to 12,000 litres.
The small footprint saves valuable floor space and the lightweight design eliminates the need for hoists or high ceiling heights.
In addition, the holder is on casters for easy assembly and movement. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
Pods are available now with the company's Millistak+ HC media for use in primary and secondary clarification processes.
