Cogent M1 TMP Control Tangential Flow Filtration System

A bench top TFF system with automatic TMP control suited for process development, scaling studies as well as clinical trials and small-scale production
The Cogent M1 system is an easy-to-use bench top TFF system that is ideally suited for process development, scaling studies as well as clinical trials and small-scale production. Benefiting from decades of bioprocess knowledge and expertise, the Cogent M1 unit incorporates innovative and intelligent design features that not only enhance performance, but enable an extremely low hold-up volume for maximum volume concentration and optimal product recovery.
Equipped with a 10 liter tank with embedded balance, the Cogent M1 system can also run in fed-batch or diafilitration mode using an optional transfer pump, which enables the system to process up to 100 liters or more based on product and membrane filter characteristics. In addition, the proprietary membrane filter holder is designed with integrated sensors and sanitary connections, greatly contributing to a low minimum working volume. According to flow characteristics, the system can run one to five Pellicon 2 mini cassettes or one to five Pellicon 3 0.11 m2 cassettes. These cassettes support a membrane area from 0.1 m2 up to several m2 with an optional Labscale holder.

easy-to-Use System
An intuitive, multilingual display and touch screen interface makes the Cogent M1 TFF system easy to operate, and the user-configurable alarm set-points, automated data acquisition and comprehensive safety features enable you to be more productive. Time-stamped data for all operational parameters, including alarm and event history are automatically captured by the system and can be easily uploaded in a tab delimited/CSV file format directly to your PC, and imported into standard spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel. Transmembrane pressure (TMP) can be set with the help of an automated pressure control valve, and controlled through the touch screen interface along with set point operation for constant pump speed or constant DP. Alarm set-points for feed and retentate pressure, DeltaP, TMP, include four settings that either alert you to changing conditions (Hi/Lo settings), or shut down the process (HiHi/LoLo settings) if desired. When an alarm condition is triggered, a message appears on the touch screen display. An audible alarm can also be activated. The system also includes an E-stop that will immediately shut down the process if needed.

Figure 1. The Cogent M1 system P&ID screen provides realtime monitoring of your TFF process.

The process & instrumentation diagram (P&ID) screen monitors all active parameters including: pump speed, mixer speed, feed and retentate pressures, temperature, feed flow rate, DeltaP and TMP, providing an effortless way to monitor your process in real time. And through a separate trend screen, you can quickly see how key process parameters have changed over the course of a run, facilitating process development.

Models Full Scale Production

The Cogent M1 system utilizes components usually reserved for industrial production equipment such as a diaphragm pump and 316 L stainless steel fluid path components. By emulating the design of production equipment at the bench scale, you are able to conduct scale-down studies and secure your scale-up in reproducing shear. Moreover, for small manufacturing purposes, a record of data compliant with CFR 21 part 11 through an optional data recorder is possible.

Cleanability
The Cogent M1 system is completely drainable and designed for clean-in-place (CIP). The smooth stainless steel surfaces and zero dead space provide enhanced cleanability using standard cleaning agents.

Precise retentate Flow Measurement

For critical applications that require assurance beyond the included pressure flow curves, the Cogent M1 system can be fitted with an optional electromagnetic retentate flow meter that directly measures retentate flow with a high degree of accuracy. The stainless steel housing offers high sanitary safety and the PFA lining is fully compatible with high process temperatures, and with CIP cleaning processes.

efficient and effective Cleaning

An optional rotating spray ball kit will efficiently and effectively clean the 10 L tank. The kit can be installed quickly and easily by the user.

Comprehensive Services
Proper and expedient installation through validation is the first step towards minimizing risk and improving your time to market. To cater to these needs, the Cogent M1 system comes equipped with a complete documentation package including a user manual, safety instruction guide, factory test results and material certificates to assist you in the start up, commissioning and qualification of your system. Developed by our team of technical experts who understand cGMP and regulation requirements, it will ensure that your equipment is installed, validated and fully operational. To ensure optimum performance, our service offering also provides scheduled preventive maintenance as well as corrective maintenance upon request. Preventive maintenance is a cost-effective approach to ensuring trouble free operation. Our Field Service engineers will not only check sensor calibration and replace gaskets, pumps and valve diaphragms but will also test the PLC batteries. Every operation is documented in a cGMP report and given to you prior to the completion of our services.

Heat exchanger
Maintaining temperature in every Tangential Flow Filtration process is often critical during cleaning steps and when biomolecules are sensitive to temperature variation. Process temperature can be maintained from 4 C to 50 C with an optional heat exchanger fully controlled by embedded software. The optional heat exchanger kit is quick and easy to install.

Air Integrity Test

In order to ensure that the cassette has been installed properly and has not sustained any damage during storage and handling, integrity testing all TFF assemblies prior to startup and after each post use cleaning is recommended. Air Integrity Test accessories consist of a set of air pressure regulator and fittings including assembly procedure to guarantee an easy plug and play solution.
