RTS-1C-US with cooling, 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 the optical density of the probe in real time
  • Software has been developed to store, display, and analyze the data in real-time
  • Compact device with a 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 [RTS-1C-US only]
  • The ability to change parameters such as temperature, RPM, and "Reverse-Spin" frequency, allows the achievement of 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 at 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
