LabStak M10

The LabStak™ M10 module is the smallest and most compact of the Alfa Laval units for cross-flow membrane filtration. This versatile unit is an ideal tool for educational purposes and for research and development work. The Alfa Laval LabStak™ M10 module can be used with the complete range of Alfa Laval flat sheet membranes available for ultrafiltration and microfiltration.

Handy and flexible

With a membrane area of only 336 cm² the Alfa Laval LabStak™ M10 module is the smallest unit in the range of  laboratory equipment offered by Alfa Laval. The design is simple, but the results obtained are comprehensive and reliable.

The Alfa Laval LabStak™ M10 module is an extremely reliable, yet easy to use, unit for process development and optimization, scaling-up as well as training purposes. The flexibility to install and test two membranes simultaneously makes it an efficient tool for initial membrane selection.

How it works

The feed stream/retentate flows through the open channels across the membrane surface in the plate-and-frame unit called LabStakTM M10 module.

The membrane is supported by hollow plates with numerous slots that allow the permeate to be collected and removed from the unit via the permeate collecting tubes.

Plate-and-frame units use the membrane itself, aided by lock rings or strips, to seal off the feed/retentate and prevent any mixing with the permeate. This also prevents leaks from the plate stak itself.
