  • User friendly navigator software

    Intuitive user‑friendly software enables fast onboarding and efficient operation.




  • Offers fully digitised, 21 CFR Part 11‑compliant data management

    The platform offers fully digitised data management  ensuring secure, traceable, and auditable records.




  • Wide range of applications

    Designed for versatility, the system supports a wide range of applications across research, development, and manufacturing.

Normal Flow Filtration (NFF) System 



  • Gentle Processing for Maximum Cell Viability

    Low-shear pump control and real-time TMP monitoring protect sensitive cells and biomolecules, ensuring high biological activity and product integrity.



  • Fully Automated & GMP-Compliant

    Hands-free operation with 21 CFR Part 11–compliant software delivers consistent performance, robust data integrity, and simplified regulatory compliance.



  • End-to-End Filtration Performance

    Supports critical applications from clarification and bioburden reduction to final sterile filtration—ensuring reliability across upstream and downstream processes.




  • Universal System Compatibility

    Open hardware design integrates seamlessly with cassettes and hollow fibres from all major suppliers, protecting existing workflows and investments.



  • Scalable & Process-Flexible Platform

    Engineered to bridge development and GMP manufacturing, enabling smooth scale-up without added complexity.



  • Improved Throughput & Lower Costs

    Optimised flow control and reduced fouling extend filter life, increase process efficiency, and lower overall cost of goods while maintaining product quality.

From Challenge IM, the Challenge Dream Tangential Flow Filtration TFF system is a fully automated, GMP-ready platform designed to support upstream and downstream workflows.  

The system is suitable for early process development through to pilot scale and commercial production. 

Combining intelligent software, modular hardware, and single‑use flexibility, it delivers stable, repeatable performance while enabling seamless scale‑up and long, unattended filtration runs.

Integrated Normal Flow Filtration (NFF) capabilities enable efficient clarification, bioburden reduction, and final sterile filtration, protecting downstream processes and ensuring consistent product quality.

With precise control of flow and pressure, the system reduces fouling, extends filter life, and improves throughput while maintaining full GMP compliance.
