Description

Obtaining a cell-free sample from a tangential flow filtration (TFF) or alternating tangential flow (ATF) harvest line offers numerous advantages for bioprocessing efficiency and control.

By enabling real-time process monitoring and control, automated sampling ensures accurate measurement of key process parameters like titer, metabolites, and nutrients—without disrupting operations. The risk of contamination is minimized through direct, sterile sampling, eliminating manual errors and exposure to environmental contaminants.

This approach also improves sample consistency and quality, providing truly representative, cell-free samples that enhance data reliability. Additionally, automated sampling increases efficiency by reducing the need for centrifugation or filtration, streamlining downstream processing (DSP) and minimizing product loss.

Seamless integration with process analytical technology (PAT) and OPC software enables automated data transfer and process control, allowing for real-time insights and optimization. By enhancing process analytics and automation, this system supports advanced PAT tools—ensuring better yields, reduced deviations, and improved scalability in bioprocessing.
