A pressure gauge is provided with every Pierce Crossflow Filtration Cassette. Pierce Crossflow Filtration Cassettes can be run without a pressure gauge; however, it is important to limit the flow rate to 200-300 mL/min to prevent tearing and potential collapse of the tubing. The flow rate can be determined by measuring the volume flow over 1 min. Alternatively, a pump speed of 300-350 rpm or a pressure of 1-1.5 bar will maintain a flow rate of 200-300 mL/min.

High protein concentration and/or presence of particulate in the sample can slow down the rate of concentration/diafiltration. Adsorption of the sample to the membrane and lower temperature (4 degrees C vs room temperature) can also slow down concentration/diafiltration. Filtering your sample prior to processing with a crossflow filtration cassette will help speed up concentration/diafiltration.

Crossflow ultrafiltration and stirred cell devices both effectively concentrate biomolecules with similar sample recoveries; however, a crossflow filtration device concentrates sample much faster than a stirred cell device.

Crossflow filtration is much faster for concentration and diafiltration than dialysis and chromatography methods.
