Spinfilters are primarily used for medium perfusion
in cell culture processes, therefore. It
is absolutely essential that living cells are consistently
retained.
Additionally, the clogging of the membrane
must be prevented by the construction of the spinfilter
and
also by the used membrane.
This blocking
would bring the fermentation to the end. Spinfilters
have historical-ly
been made of several layers of stainless
steel mesh requiring extensive cleaning between uses.

BBI Systems (BBI) has developed, in cooperation
with Saxonia BioTec, a new disposable system that can
be
used with stirrer shafts of varying sizes
by using the adapters included with each filter.
