About

RTS-1C including TubeSpin® Bioreactor 50, TPP®, 20 pcs.

Features
  • Innovative mixing due to reverse spinning of the sample around its own axis
  • Due to innovative mixing technology it is possible to measure optical density of the probe in real time
  • Software has been developed to store, display and analyse the data in real time
  • Compact device with low profile and small footprint for personal application
  • Temperature control allows use as an incubator, e.g. for cell growth
  • Active cooling and temperature profiling via software
  • The ability to change parameters such as temperature, RPM and “Reverse-Spin” frequency, allows to achieve consistency and reproducibility of results
  • Programmable Cycling/profiling of cultivation parameters such as temperature, RPM, “Reverse-Spin” frequency
  • The ability to remotely monitor the process of cultivation while home or using a mobile phone
Software features
  • Real–Time cell growth logging
  • 3D graphical representation of OD or growth rate over time over unit
  • Pause option
  • Save/Load option
  • Report option: PDF and Excel
  • Connect up to 12 units simultaneously to 1 computer
  • Remote monitoring option (requires internet connection)
  • Cycling/Profiling options
  • User calibration options for any microorganism
