Mini Bioreactor RTS-1
RTS-1 logs germ growth in 50 ml tubes in real time. Thanks to the innovative mixing technology, it is possible to measure the optical density of the sample non-invasively in real time.
Graphical 3D display of optical density and growth rate.
Typical applications:
- Bacterial cultivation with real time growth kinetics
- Strain screening
- Temperature stress and fluctuation experiments
- Media screening and optimization
- Synthetic and systems biology
- Inhibition and toxicity tests
- Strain quality control
RTS-1 Mini-Bioreactor
- Reverse-Spin® mixing principle in 50 ml falcon tubes allows to achieve high kLa (h-1) up to 450 which is essential for efficient aerobic cultivation
- Innovative mixing thanks to rotation of the sample in the opposite direction around its own axis
- Reverse-Spin® mixing principle enables non-invasive biomass measurement in real time
(see the Reverse-Spin® Technology; Innovative Principle of Microbial Cultivation in the download section) - Software: display of data in real time, analysis and storage of data
- Temperature control allows the RTS-1 to be used as an incubator, e.g. for cell growth
- The possibility of changing certain parameters, such as temperature, revolutions/minute and spinning time in one direction
- Enables constant and repeatable results to be achieved
- Cycle/analyze cultivation parameters such as temperature, agitation parameters - such as temperature, agitation, change of rotation direction - after reaching a certain time or certain OD values
- Possibility of remote monitoring of the cultivation process
Software features:
- Real–Time cell growth logging
- 3D graphical representation of OD or growth rate over time over unit
- Pause option
- Save/Load option
- Report option: PDF and Excel
- Connect up to 10 units simultaneously
- Remote monitoring option (requires internet connection)
- Cycling/Profiling options
- User calibration options for most cells
