Bio Processing
Applied Membrane Technology (AMT) offers tailored membrane surface chemistries for a range of bio-processing applications. Membrane surfaces can contain hydroxyl groups, amino groups, sulfoxides, as well as Nano coatings of silicones, fluorosilicones, fluoropolymers, hydrocarbon polymers or grafted gels.
Applications/Process
Strong, integrally skinned outer layers of AMT coatings onto membrane substrates allow tailoring for several bio-applications such as:
- Controlled pore size membranes for ultra filtration of biomolecules
- Permselective extractive bioreactors
- Cell culture bioreactors
- Bio-oxygenation for long term applications
- Custom coated affinity membranes
Membrane Material/Construction
AMT’s composite membranes are stronger than commonly used bioprocess materials. Made from FDA grade materials with zero extractables, the membranes are solvent resistant.
Technology
AMT uses a blend of Plasma polymerization and conventional technologies to create its products. Advantages of our technology are enhanced chemical, thermal, and long term stability due to coated composite membrane structures made from robust materials.
Gas Filtration & Transfer
Applied Membrane Technology (AMT) offers innovative advanced composite membranes tailored to your specific gas transfer requirements. Advantages include higher selectivity, better gas exchange rates, resistance to blood plasma leakage, and longer membrane lifetimes.
