Description
RTS-1 is personal bioreactor which provides “Reverse-Spin” type of agitation and logging of microbial growth in 50 ml tubes in real time.
Features:
► Innovative mixing due to reverse spinning of the sample around its own axis
► Due to innovative mixing technology it is possible to measure optical density of the probe in real time
► Software has been developed to store, display and analyse the data in real time
► RTS-1 is compact device with low profile and small footprint for personal application
► Temperature control allows to use RTS-1 as an incubator, e.g. for cell growth
► The ability to change parameters such as temperature, RPM and “Reverse-Spin” frequency, allows to achieve 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 home or using a mobile phone
See the Reverse–Spin® Technology — Innovative Principle of Microbial Cultivation in the download section
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 12 units simultaneously
► Remote monitoring option (requires internet connection)
► Cycling/Profiling options
► User calibration options for any microorganism
