Parker FilterTec™ Automated Laboratory Normal Flow Filtration Systems

Single Use Assembly Benefits

Key Features

  • Safe walk-away system operation for reduced manual oversight
  • Real-time data collection of 15 filtration parameters
  • Increased normal flow filtration (NFF) efficiency—up to 30%
  • R/P Stat Method for automatic transition from constant rate to constant pressure
  • Compatible with all filter types for maximum flexibility
  • The optional scale enables gravimetric control and real-time weight-based monitoring
  • 3 pressure sensor connections to support serial or parallel filter trains
  • End-point controls for automated system shutdown at defined filtrate or pressure limits

FilterTec™ Plus – Enhanced Throughput & Statistical Verification

  • Triple your NFF productivity with parallel testing of three filters
  • Supports three pump heads and communicates with up to three electronic balances
  • Enables simultaneous testing of three identical filters or three different filters under the same pressure
  • Facilitates statistical validation of filter performance and capacity during scale-up

Optimised Filtration Control with R/P Stat Method

  • Starts filtration at a constant pump rate until the user-defined pressure is reached
  • Automatically shifts to constant pressure mode, adjusting flow to maintain consistent pressure
  • Continues until a minimum filtrate flow rate is reached, ensuring maximum filter utilisation
  • Delivers up to 30% higher throughput compared to constant flow or pressure methods

Advanced Filterability Studies

  • Simultaneous monitoring of three pressure points allows evaluation of serial or parallel filter trains
  • Detects pressure build-up to guide pore size or filter area adjustments
  • Programmable R/P mode allows stair-step or ramped changes in pump rate or pressure over time
  • Ideal for filter size determination and process development

Vmax Determination for Predictive Performance

  • Collects filtrate weight under constant rate, pressure, or R/P Stat modes
  • Calculates and documents Vmax by plotting Time / Filtrate Weight
  • Instantaneous Vmax is reported from real-time slope changes in filtration data
  • Supports accurate filter sizing and capacity forecasting
