TLDR
In this article, the chromatography column is replaced by a module that consists of two or more interconnected tangential flow filters and static mixers, and the buffers for these operations are pumped into the module in a countercurrent direction to the flow of resin, and permeate solutions from later stages are recycled back into previous stages.Abstract:
This invention relates to a breakthrough in the art of chromatography allowing 1) larger scale of operation; 2) faster processing time; 3) disposability; 4) reduction of media/resin expenses; and 5) a reduction of capital equipment investment. In this invention, the chromatography column is replaced by a module that consists of two or more interconnected tangential flow filters and static mixers. The chromatography resin flows through this module in a single pass, while similar operations to a regular chromatographic process are performed on the resin (binding, washing, elution, regeneration, and equilibration). The buffers for these operations are pumped into the module in a countercurrent direction to the flow of resin, and permeate solutions from later stages are recycled back into previous stages. This creates concentration gradients in the permeate solutions of the tangential flow filters in the countercurrent direction to resin flow, thus saving buffer volume and increasing process efficiency.read more

Bioreactor Tangential Flow Perfusion Filter System
TL;DR: In this article, a bioreactor hollow fiber perfusion system was proposed to increase the capacity of standard fed batch bioreactors by using a hollow fiber tangential flow filter which separates the metabolic wastes (as well as proteins) from the biomass material.

Method for proliferation of cells within a bioreactor using a disposable pumphead and filter assembly
TL;DR: In this article, a low shear gamma stable pump gently cycles bioreactor fluid through a hollow fiber tangential flow filter, which separates metabolic wastes (as well as proteins) from cells produced in bioreactors and returns them to the feeder to improve cell production.

Tangential flow affinity ultrafiltration
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture containing the biological macromolecule of interest is first mixed with an affinity gel, such as agarose-ATP, which selectively binds to the hemoglobin or (oxy)hemoglobin and then the liquid is subjected to tangential flow ultrafiltration, so that all components of the mixture except the gel-bond hemoglobin pass through the filter.
