LabStak M10
The LabStak® M10 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 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 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 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.
Alfa Laval LabUnit M10
The Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 is a fully integrated system comprising an Alfa Laval LabStak® M10 unit complete with necessary pump, valve, heat exchanger and instrumentation.

Sådan fungerer det
Tilførselsstrømmen/retentatet strømmer gennem de åbne kanaler over membranoverfladen i plade- og rammenheden kaldet LabStakTM M10-modulet.
Membranen understøttes af hule plader med adskillige spalter, der tillader, at permeatet opsamles og fjernes fra enheden via permeatopsamlingsrørene.
Plade- og rammeenheder bruger selve membranen, hjulpet af låseringe eller bånd, til at forsegle tilførslen/retentatet og forhindre enhver sammenblanding med permeatet. Dette forhindrer også lækager fra selve pladestakken.
