Culturefuge
Alfa Laval Culturefuge is a range of unique disc stack cell centrifuges and biopharma separators (or complete separation systems) developed especially for gentle cell harvesting of mammalian cell cultures, microbial cells and precipitated proteins. The resultant gentle and efficient feed acceleration avoids destroying shear-sensitive cell membranes, making downstream purification of the target proteins easier and more cost-effective.
Experience the benefits of Culturefuge: solids-ejecting separators and cell centrifuges specially developed for cell culture
- Consistent product quality – fully hermetic conditions effectively eliminate the air-liquid interface inside the cell centrifuge bowl
- Reduced risk of shearing and contamination - unique hollow spindle feed ensures very gentle separation of cells
- Materials meet regulatory requirements for biotech and pharma industries
- Maximum hygiene – flushing nozzles spray outside the centrifuge bowl and inside the frame hood
- Easy scaling up – compact, flexible design can be accurately expanded from pilot plant to production
The Alfa Laval Culturefuge cell centrifuge is available as a skid-mounted, steam-sterilizable system. It includes piping for service and process liquids, along with an integrated electrical system featuring a PLC and a pneumatic unit. Design options include a product contact surface with a Ra value of <0.5 µm.
