Market Dynamics
Introduction
Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) is a technique used in biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals to separate and purify biomolecules such as proteins, viruses, and cells. Unlike conventional filtration, TFF directs the feed stream parallel to the membrane, reducing clogging and allowing for continuous processing. It is commonly used for concentration, desalting, and buffer exchange in processes such as vaccine production and protein purification. TFF is scalable from the lab to the industrial scale and provides efficient separation based on molecular size, making it an essential technique in biopharmaceutical downstream processing.
Market Drivers
The market is primarily driven by the increasing use of tangential flow filtration technology to meet the growing demand for biopharmaceuticals to treat disorders and degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, the advantages of tangential flow filtration (TFF), such as high performance and reproducible operations, as well as companies' increasing investments in the development of novel TFF products, are influencing market growth. investments in the development of novel TFF products, are influencing market growth.
