Any Filter. High-Throughput. Save Media.
The Magma ATF Filtration Scouting Software 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.
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
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.
Compact Footprint, Streamlined Workflow
Our custom stands hold up to four pumpheads or pneumatic boxes in one small footprint, so you can run screens without crowding your workspace.
4 Pumphead Stand
Holds a single pumphead size that runs four different hollow-fiber filters simultaneously in one convenient stand
4 Small Pneumatic Stand
Holds four small pneumatic boxes conveniently in one stand
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.
