Grant Bio Personal Bioreactors

Grant-bio personal bioreactors provide a "Reverse-Spin" type of agitation and logging of microbial growth in 50 mL tubes in real-time.

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