Products

Magellan Instruments manufactures and sells bioprocess products that will help you improve the efficiency and productivity of your process. Our aim is not just to have products that are technically good and reliable, they must make help you achieve your goals faster.

The Tandem gas analyser has been used by scientists and engineers for to understand the cells in their fermenters and bioreactors in more detail. Other gas analysis equipment, such as a mass spectrometer, may help you get the O2 and CO2 conentrations, however, the Tandem has been specifically designed for the fermentation industry and for ease of integration. We understand the equipment you already use, and how to benefit quickly from installing a new sensor. We can provide application examples, practical help and simple step by step guides for you, whether you run one or two 50ml mini-fermenters or a facility with multiple 100m3 manufacturing bioreactors. The Tandem has already been installed on all these equipment ranges, and on almost all manufacturers' models, meaning you have the benefit of a flexible and portable analyser. The accuracy and precision of the sensors inside the analyser are designed for fermentation processes and their process control equipment.

The ATF perfusion and filtration system is a clear improvement if you already use a perfusion system. It is also easy to install and operate, so moving from fed-batch or batch to perfusion is now easier than ever. Only one vessel connection is required and no peristaltic pump which would otherwise cause shear on the cells. For a standard secreted protein product in CHO cells, you can be trained on the ATF operation and maintenance in under an hour. You could also be saving up to 10% of your process costs by removing completely the need for clarification. So, not only can you achieve higher cell densities, but you can reduce your consumable costs. The ATF perfusion system works with microcarriers, is great for rapid media exchanges and can be used with viral production also.

"The Tandem is both reliable and consistent. The information gained from CO2 measurements directly correlates with product formation, and so we now use it to monitor the physiological state of our cultures."
