We use the Millipore Spiral-wound TFF1 and TFF2 cartridges for concentrating 10-20L of insect cell media. They work great, don't cost all that much money, and you don't need the expensive holder they sell. You can use a ring stand and clamp the tubing directly to the cartridge. Our cartridges are several years old and have seen hundreds of liters of media, if you clean them well and pre-clear the media(we use a 10,000xg spin) they will last longer and keep a good flow rate.
