Abstract
A tangential flow filtration apparatus which utilizes a single manifold to introduce liquid to be filtered into the apparatus and to remove a filtrate stream and a retentate stream from the apparatus is provided. A plurality of filtration members are stacked in a vertical arrangement between the manifold and a plate. Holes and sealing means are provided within the filtration member to effect vertical flow of the filtrate, retentate and incoming liquid through the stack while preventing admixture of the filtrate with the retentate or the incoming liquid.
