intensification Delivers more Product Faster
XCell ATF® technology helps simplify and intensify upstream processes to deliver more product, faster. Intensified processes achieve higher cell densities, require smaller bioreactors and consume less suite time. Increase throughput, productivity, and capacity in both clinical and commercial manufacturing.

XCell ATF® by application
XCell ATF® intensification from Process development to manufacturing
The XCell ATF® intensification simplifies and fast-tracks upstream intensification development from PD to commercial scale. Intensification increases throughput, accelerates tech transfer and optimizes your process in clinical manufacturing and MSAT while increasing bioreactor productivity and reducing costs in commercial manufacturing. Higher productivity, smaller bioreactors and higher throughput with shorter times to harvest, combine to mitigate facility expansion risks and capital costs.
XCell Atf® in Gene Therapy and Adenovirus
The XCell ATF® solution delivers an efficiency boost both pre- and post-transfection in the gene therapy workflow. Increase yield and save time during host cell expansion and pre-transfection preparation. Post-transfection options exist for multiple host types.

How XCell ATF® Technology works
The XCell ATF® System is based on award-winning alternating tangential flow (ATF) technology, created by the action of a diaphragm moving upward and downward within a pump head, connected to a filter housing and attached to a bioreactor. Alternating tangential flow is attained by the action of a diaphragm pump.
XCell ATF® Devices and controllers
The XCell ATF® System delivers a complete solution for upstream intensification with robust hardware software integration. Available in single-use and stainless steel formats with sizes from lab-scale (2 L) to process scale (5000 L). Each system consists of an XCell ATF® Device, XCell™ controller, software, tubing and sensors.
