of Feed Spacer Screens
[0088]A modeling study was carried out to evaluate the effects of feed screen parameters on shear rates. The geometry of each of three feed screens was generated for the model using the parametric geometry function in Autodesk Inventor (Autodesk, Inc. Boston, Mass.). The modeled feed screens included: (1) C-screens (Propyltex® screens, Sefar, QC, Canada) having a two-over-one twill pattern, an open area of 32%, a fiber density of 16.2 fibers / cm, fiber diameter of 270 μm, and a thickness of 515 μm; (2) D-screens (Propyltex® screens, Sefar, QC, Canada) having a two-over-one twill pattern, an open area of 36%, a fiber density of 12.2 fibers / cm, fiber diameter of 340 μm, and a thickness of 610 μm; and (3) D3-screens (Propyltex® screens, Sefar, QC, Canada) having a two-over-one twill pattern, an open area of 39%, a fiber density of 10.6 fibers / cm, fiber diameter of 360 μm, and a thickness of 645 μm. FIG. 4A illustrates a simulation of the D3 woven fiber feed spacer ...

n of Model Results with Experimental Results
[0091]Two prototype filter elements were created, each including a single filter element sheet arranged in Pellicon® 3 micro plate and frame format. Both filter element sheets included a 0.65 micron Durapore® membrane. One filter element sheet contained a D-screen feed spacer and the other contained a D3-screen feed spacer. The filter elements underwent testing in an AKTAcrossflow™ system (GE Healthcare Lifesciences, Marlborough, Mass.) with a cell culture solution containing CHO-S cells in a density of 30-60 million cells per milliliter in CHO Cellvento™ 110 media. Feed, retentate and permeate flow were controlled during the experiments and feed pressure measurements were obtained, as shown in FIG. 6. Obtained experimental feed pressures were compared with those of modeled devices using corresponding retentate and permeate pressure values. As shown in FIG. 6, the results of the modeled devices correlated well with feed pressure values as ...

f Filter Elements and Pumps
[0092]Six different cell retention systems (i.e., perfusion systems) were evaluated, including four systems having commercially available filter elements, and four systems having prototype filter elements. The systems included:
[0093](1) XCell™ ATF-2 system (Repligen, Waltham, Mass.) with diaphragm pump and a 0.13 m2, 0.2 micron PES hollow fiber filter element. The system was operated in alternating flow mode under recommended cross-flow rates.
[0094](2) XCell™ ATF-2 system with diaphragm pump and a 0.13 m2, 0.5 micron PES hollow fiber filter element. The system was operated in alternating flow mode under recommended cross-flow rates.
[0095](3) Magnetic levitation pump (Levitronix®) and 0.13 m2, 0.5 micron PES hollow fiber filter element. The system was operated in recirculation mode under recommended cross-flow rates.
[0096](4) Peristaltic pump (Watson Marlow) and Prostak™ cassette (MilliporeSigma, Billerica, Mass.) with 0.06 m2, 0.22 micron PVDF membrane. Th...
