The Grant-bio RTS-1 is personal bioreactor which provides “Reverse-Spin” type of agitation and logging of microbial growth in 50 ml tubes in real time.
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
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
Store, display and analyse the data in real time
Compact device with low profile and small footprint for personal application
Temperature control allows use 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
