• Broad temperature and speed range

Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 1550 is supplied with interchangeable platforms for standard 15ml and 50ml conical tubes. Maximum capacity is 8 x 50mL or 18 x 15mL. Temperature in the VorTemp 1550 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures and digestions. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 1550 may also be used in the cold room for subambient applications.

Shaking speed as well as acceleration rates are adjustable. Acceleration can be set to three different levels to protect delicate samples.

A microprocessor controls all parameters including temperature and timed operation. Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors the unit for proper temperature and shaking speed, alerting the user to any errors. Heating and shaking are controlled by feedback loops which precisely maintain chosen parameters, independent of load or voltage fluctuations.

The sturdy construction of the VorTemp 1550 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.

Benchmark™ Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP
All Environment Shaker for Microplates

• Designed for use in CO₂ incubators and other extreme environments
• Remote controlled, adjust settings without exposing the chamber
• 3 mm orbit for thorough mixing of well plates
• Includes 6-position microplate platform

The Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP is designed for thorough mixing of microplates in extreme environments such as CO₂ incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 4° to 65°C and humidity levels up to 100%.

To extend the lifetime of the shaker, all the electronics are in a remote-control module that is placed outside the chamber. This has the added advantage of adjusting the shaker speed and time without opening the chamber door and disturbing the interior environment. The controller's thin, flat cord will not interfere with the door seal and the unit can magnetically mount to the outer housing of the incubator. A 6-position microplate platform is included and secures both standard or deep well plates.

Grant Bio Personal Multi-Channel Bioreactors - RTS-8 and RTS-8-PLUS 

Personal multi-channel bioreactors with non-invasive real-time OD, pH, and pO₂ measurements.

Please specify which calibration option is desired upon placing order (E.coli, S.Cerevisiae, or both E.Coli and S.Cerevisiae calibration).

About

RTS-8 and RTS-8 plus are personal bioreactors that utilize 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 near-infrared, fluorescence, and luminescence measurement systems, it is possible to register cell growth kinetics, pH, and O2 non-invasively in real time. For pH and O₂, innovative single-use sensor spots are used inside the tubes.

Although O₂ supply is one of the major issues in the cultivation of aerobic organisms, especially in oxygen-limited conditions, adequate methods for real monitoring of dissolved oxygen were missing, and sufficient O2 supply was usually assumed. Innovative non-invasive oxygen sensors integrated in falcon tubes now enable online oxygen monitoring and give new insights into metabolic activities. The pH is one of the major issues in the cultivation of cells, yeast, or bacteria. Cultivation vessels that are sensor-limited are widely applied in academic and industrial bioprocess development. As adequate methods for real monitoring of pH were not available, cumbersome at-line sampling was used lacking high data density and interfering with growth. Non-invasive real-time pH measurement provides new insights into metabolic activity and changes in metabolic pathways.
