General Clotho, Thalia, Atropos programming recommendations based on ID 1 mm lumen:

  • broth flow: ml/min/lumen/m – 15 - 25

  • harvest velocity: m/sec - 0.1 - 0.5

  • cleaning velocity: m/sec - 2 - 5

Some abbreviations:

SUP = Single-Use-Pump = Thalia (or Clio)
SUB = Single-Use-Bioreactor = one of the sizes of CellVessel
HFF = Hollow-Fiber-Filter = SepraPor
ATF = Alternating-Tangential-Flow = method, principle
TFF = Tangential-Flow-Filtration = method, principle
CFF = Cross-Flow-Filter = broad designation

HFF Hold-Up volume:

  • is the combined volume inside the multiple lumens
  • not included volume inside the cartridge tube and outside of the lumen
