How CentrivaLab works
O-CMF uses centrifugal acceleration to create the hydrostatic pressure required to drive liquid through a membrane. This allows membrane screening experiments to be performed with compact sample volumes and without a full pump-driven filtration rig.
2
Spin in a centrifuge
Centrifugal acceleration generates the pressure needed for permeation through the membrane.
3
Measure membrane performance
Flux, permeate volume and rejection can be compared across membranes, solvents and operating conditions.
