Any Filter. High-Throughput. Save Media.
The Magma ATF Screening System (ATFSS) is an open-architecture platform designed for rapid, low-volume screening of hollow-fiber filters and media in bioprocessing. It enables side-by-side comparison of filter membranes at culture volumes as low as 100 mL, giving labs high-quality scale-up data without the high media costs, vendor lock-in, or rigid configurations of traditional systems.

Key System Benefits
True Open-Architecture Compatibility
- Break free from proprietary consumable lock-in.
- Validate and run hollow-fiber membranes from any supplier.
- Accelerate second-sourcing initiatives and safeguard your bioprocess supply chain.
60%+ Reduction in Media Consumption
- Operates effectively at working volumes as low as 100 mL (compared to legacy requirements of 250 mL–1 L).
- Dramatically cuts costs on expensive specialized perfusion media during early-stage screening.
Characterize Filter Fouling and Flux
- Side-by-side screening of multiple membranes before you scale up.
- Flawlessly maintained cultures exceeding 40 × 10⁶ cells/mL with stable flux and zero mechanical fouling.
Engineered for High-Reliability, Cost Efficient Operations
- Trusted Pedigree: Engineered by the same team behind commercialized Normal Flow and traditional TFF Screening Systems.
- Direct, robust mechanics eliminate the need for mandatory $8,000–$15,000 annual controller service contracts.
See Every System, One Screen
- Windows PC based Graphic User Interface
- View key data from all systems on a “dashboard view”
- A Trends Module where the data can be viewed and graphs exported
- All data from a run is written to a file real-time
Flexible Configurations That Match Your Workflow
Screen multiple parameters side by side to establish precise flux, shear, and fouling profiles before investing in pilot-scale volumes.
High-Throughput Membrane & Condition Screening
- Setup: Single bioreactor manifold feeding 2 to 4 parallel ATF systems.
