Tangential Flow Filtration [TFF] is used for clarifying, concentrating and purifying proteins.
Filtration is a pressure driven separation process that uses a membrane to separate components in liquid solution or suspension based on size and charge difference.
Types of Membrane Filtration
1. Normal Flow Filtration - Dead End Filtration
2. Tangential Flow Filtration - Cross Flow Filtration

3. Types of Membranes
•
1. Normal Flow Filtration - Dead End Filtration
• 2. Tangential Flow Filtration - Cross Flow
Filtration
4. Types of TFF
• 1. Micro Filtration
• 2. Ultra Filtration
Ultra Filtration is catagorized into two
• Virus Filtration
• High Performance Tangential Flow Filtration
5. Process Goals
• Final Product Concentration
• Feed Volume Reduction
• Extent of Buffer Exchange
• Contaminant Removal Specification
6. Primary Protein Processing Goals
• High Product Yield
• High Product Quality
• High Product Purity
• Controlled Bioburden
9. Key Parameters to Optimize
• Cross Flow Rate
• Transmembrane Pressure
• Filtrate Control
• Membrane Area
• Diafiltration Design
10. Factors affecting Product Yield
These are the four contribution of product loss
during Tangential Flow Filtration
• Retention Loss
• Adsorption Loss
• Solubility Loss
• Unrecoverable hold up volume loss
11. Factors affecting Product Quality
Quality of product is compromised due to
aggregation or denaturation caused by
• Micro cavitation
• Air-Liquid Interface
• High Protein Concentration
• Temperature Effects
