Pro 30 Reciprocal Lab Shaker

The Pro 30 shaker features a left-to-right linear action to provide gentle to vigorous shaking. Four platform configurations make this model valuable for a variety of applications.

• Four stainless steel platform options
• Reciprocal motion for staining, washing blots, and general mixing
• Economical analog control with easy-turn knobs
• Safe for cold room and incubator use

Modern styling gives the Pro 30 a small footprint and an easy-access control panel. Speed and time are electronically controlled while their values are set with easy turn knobs. The four platform configurations include a large 30 x 30 cm flat platform with a non-slip rubber mat to hold sample containers in place. For added capacity, a stacked double platform is also available. The spring-loaded universal platform holds tube racks, bottles, and odd-shaped containers. Flasks up to 1L can be shaken off the flask clamp platform. Pre-drilled to hold a variety of different-sized clamps, the platform, and clamps are sold separately. Platforms are easily interchanged. The Pro 30 is safe for use in temperature-controlled environments.

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.

Features

• Parallel cultivation of 8-tube bioreactors enables to save time and resources for bioprocess optimization

• 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
• For the plus model - Non-invasive O₂ and pH measurement allows for accurate monitoring of metabolic activities
