The Aglaea Alternating-Single-Use-Exchanger
Aglaea is an alternating (pulsating, bi-directional, reciprocating) fluid exchanger (not a pump) and integrated part of the CellTernate Perfusion-SUB package. The Repligen C24 controller gives the CellTernate P-SUB its performance integrating the Aglaea with the CFF/HFF.

Aglaea-2 technical functionality
- The Alternating-Single-Use-Exchanger (A-SUE) feature a by C24 controlled free-floating medical grade transparent silicone diaphragm of app 100 ml volume full stroke
- Aglaea do not convey fluid as a typical pump – but exchange forth and back the desired, programmed fluid volume in a reciprocating way
- Aglaea A-SUE is connected directly to the Hollow-Fiber-Filter (HFF) module, which in the opposite end is connected to the SUB via a hose
