Ideal system for every bacterial strain

Concentration

In the enzyme production process, ultrafiltration and diafiltration systems are used to concentrate the product and for buffer exchange respectively.

The concentration capacities in detail

Biotech

The following production volume is available in the Biotech business segment:

400 l/min crossflow production
60 l/batch crossflow pilot plant

Concentration in our business field

Biotech

The Uniflux 400 (GE Healthcare) system used at Lactosan is an automated tangential or crossflow filtration system for microfiltration, ultrafiltration or diafiltration. A 5000 litre harvesting tank specially designed for the filtration system guarantees a smooth product concentration and/or buffer exchange in the enzyme production process. The feed flow rate of the system is 400 litres/min with a filter area of 112 m².

Filtration techniques

The filtration system allows to remove the production organism or components thereof in the product, at the customer's request.

Fermentation

Lactosan has three complete fermentation lines which are controlled by a process control system and can be fully sterilised.

Separation

Fermentation is followed by a concentration step using a separator.

Homogenisation

In the homogenisation step, the biomass is broken down and the enzymes are released.

Precipitation

In order to increase the purity of the enzyme product or to improve subsequent filtration steps, it is possible to integrate a precipitation step into the production process.
