The benefits of the P-SUBmerged™ ATF are:
- avoid HFF fouling – freedom to select any broth velocity flushing out debris from inside the HFF by LASER guided Thalia diaphragm pump
- avoid dead volumes – skip hoses, fittings - SUBmerged SepraPor HFF integrated with Thalia diaphragm pump eliminates dead volumes
- avoid cell death - innovative inverted Thalia pump arranged above the SUBmerged SepraPor so the Thalia pump cannot accumulate cells
- reduce shear stress – eliminating hoses, fittings and SUBmerge the cartridge into the broth reduces shear stress to lowest possible
- SUBmerged - HFF cartridge directly in the broth inside the SUB - no hoses, fittings needed = simplified, reliable and ready to use





Fully assembled P-SUBmerged (series 31) with Vessel Volume (VV) ranging 250 ml for the Modular or 0.3 for DASbox or scalable further from 0.5 - 3 - 6 - 13 up to 30 liter rigid plastics - at present. As Thalia and SepraPor is scalable PerfuseCell will go further up in P-SUBmerged volume when needed.
The industry is facing the well known problem of cleaning and keep the Hollow-Fiber-Filter clean in perfusion processes. Lets face it - none of the existing technologies gave us viable solutions. A better technology and reliable platform is required.
The latest invention - P-SUBmerged - features LASER guided diaphragm Single-Use-Pumps named Thalia. Specifically designed to alter accurately broth velocities between harvest cycles and cleaning cycles flushing out HFF fouling. Constant broth velocity like from centrifugal or peristaltic pumps and non-LASER guided diaphragm pumps have proven unable to clean, keep clean, flush out HFF fouling - the challenge of the entire industry.
PerfuseCell offer these packages - starting a new era in perfusion:
-
CellRetention™ (series 31) P-SUBmerged™ operate in ATF mode and integrate the scalable Thalia Alternating-Single-Use-Pump (A-SUP) with the scalable SepraPor® Hollow-Fiber-Filter (HFF) cartridge, and a range of Single-Use-Sensors. The unique P-SUBmerged design is pre-assembled, pre-packed and ready for easy use with Clotho or Lachesis diaphragm pump Drive Units.
-
CellMembra™ (series 30) P-SUBs operate in TFF mode and integrate the scalable Clio OneWay-Single-Use-Pump (O-SUP) with the SepraPor® Hollow-Fiber-Filter cartridges and multiple Single-Use-Sensors. All pre-assembled, pre-packed and ready for easy use with the diaphragm pump Drive Units.
-
When there is a need for Thalia (series 32) alternating diaphragm pump pre-assembled with larger SepraPor HFF cartridges scaling from 30 liter and up - ask PerfuseCell
-
Drive Units Clotho and Lachesis (series 33) for Thalia and Clio are based on groundbreaking high-tech designed software. The P-SUBmerged runs perfect stand-alone on series-33 units or on Cronus-PCS package supported by Lucullus or DeltaV or DASware software.
