Application Note: Enhance AAV Purification Performance with Optimal Hollow Fiber Membrane Selection

Cover image of Repligen application note comparing 100 kD mPES and competitor PS hollow fiber membranes for AAV filtration, shown with page curl effect.In gene therapy manufacturing, every minute and molecule counts. This application note compares the Repligen Spectrum® 100 kD modified polyethersulfone (mPES) hollow fiber membranes to a leading competitor polysulfone (PS) membrane in a AAV9 tangential flow filtration (TFF) process. Discover how membrane selection directly impacts processing speed, product recovery, and operational efficiency – and why the Spectrum mPES technology offers a decisive advantage.

Key Takeaways

  • Up to 38% Faster Processing: mPES membranes reduced AAV9 UF/DF run time by nearly 38% compared to PS
  • 3x Higher Water Permeability: Enables higher potential flux and more efficient filtration
  • >95% Product Recovery: Maintains viral yield, outperforming the ~65% recovery of PS membranes​
