Description
It is a bioreactor which 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 singleuse 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 a near-infrared optical system it is possible to register cell growth kinetics non-invasively in real time.
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 (disposable tube).
Individually controlled bioreactor accelerates optimization process
Possibility to cultivate microaerophilic and obligate anaerobic microorganisms (not strict anaerobic conditions)
Reverse–Spin® mixing principle enables non-invasive biomass measurement in real time
Near-infrared optical system makes it possible to register cell growth kinetics
Free of charge software for storage, demonstration and analysis of data in real time
Compact design with low profile and small footprint for personal application
Temperature control for bioprocess applications
Active cooling for rapid temperature control, e.g. for temperature fluctuation experiments
Task profiling for process automatization
Cloud data storage to remotely monitor the process of cultivation while at home or using a mobile phone.
