Product news

Sartorius has launched Vivaflow® SU for laboratory-dedicated tangential flow filtration (TFF). Designed for enhanced ease of use and flexibility, Vivaflow SU ensures more efficient and sustainable ultrafiltration and diafiltration processes for feed volumes ranging from 100 to 1,000 mL.

Vivaflow SU is a TFF cassette that reduces cost and complexity, streamlines molecule isolation workflows, and champions sustainability. Each all-in-one cassette is ready to use with a standard laboratory pump, enabling simple set-up, while avoiding the need for expensive systems and process optimization. It allows for faster and more reliable concentration and rebuffering of any molecule, eliminating the need for cleaning, reducing contamination risk, and minimizing waste.

Vivaflow SU replaces the long-standing Vivaflow 50, as the next-generation TFF cassette for research scientists who need a fast and reliable solution for concentrating and rebuffering large feed volumes in their molecule isolation workflows.

By significantly reducing single-use waste compared to previous TFF cassettes, Vivaflow SU demonstrates Sartorius' commitment to environmental responsibility. The new housing uses 30.5% less plastic and incorporates several eco-friendly design improvements, including locally sourced raw materials, customized tubing kits for each cassette configuration, a digital user manual, and reduced non-recyclable packaging, all contributing to a lower research footprint.

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.
