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