Description
RTS-8 is a personal bioreactor that utilizes patented Reverse-Spin® technology that applies non-invasive, mechanically driven, low energy consumption, innovative type of agitation where cell suspension is mixed by the single-use falcon bioreactor tube rotation around its axis with a change of direction of rotation motion resulting in highly efficient mixing and oxygenation for aerobic cultivation. Combined with a near-infrared optical system it is possible to register cell growth kinetics non-invasively in real time.
FEATURES
- Parallel cultivation of 8 tube bioreactors enables to save time and resources for bioprocess optimization
- Individually controlled bioreactor accelerates optimization process
- Possibility to cultivate microaerophilic and obligate anaerobic microorganisms (not strict anaerobic conditions)
- Reverse–Spin® mixing principle enables non-invasive biomass measurement in real time
- Near-infrared optical system makes it possible to register cell growth kinetics
- Free of charge software for storage, demonstration and analysis of data in real time
- Compact design with low profile and small footprint for personal application
- Individual temperature control for bioprocess applications
- Active cooling for rapid temperature control, e.g. for temperature fluctuation experiments
- Task profiling for process automatization
- Cloud data storage to remotely monitor the process of cultivation while at home or using a mobile phone
