The six-side heating system in combination with a low speed internal fan uniformly spreads air throughout the stainless steel chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). For applications requiring solely gravity convection, this internal fan can be disabled, significantly reducing the concern of sample to sample contamination.

Key Features:

• Six side direct heating for excellent uniformity and recovery
• Integral, MAGic clamp orbital shaker, idea for suspension cell culture
• Dual Beam IR sensor, for precise CO2 control.
• Stackable design with beltless motor which limit vibration and provide a smooth, consistent shaking motion.
• Stainless steel chamber with rounded corners for easy cleaning.

* At a set temperature of 37.0°C

*230V option is also available.

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.
