Membrane Types

With a broad choice of single-use module configurations, hollow filter membranes from Repligen use advanced hydrophilic membrane filtration chemistry to provide higher flux rates for faster processing times, excellent selectivity for separation applications, and low protein binding for higher product yields than other membrane chemistries.
