The TubeSpin® Bioreactor 50 with Septum is intended for use in laboratory automation applications such as: robotic use for sterile media and solution exchange or harvesting of cell based products, e.g. with the Tecan Freedom EVO®.
Features of TubeSpin® Bioreactor 50 with Septum
Re-closable cross-slit septum for multiple entries
Compatible with injection needles up to 2.1 mm (12 gauge) diameter
Working volume
Barcode 128 on each tube for efficient automated tracking (coding: lot number plus number makes each tube unique. Ex: 2013000099999)
Sterile gas exchange through vents above hydrophobic PTFE membrane in screw cap
Conical tube fits standard 50 ml centrifuge adapters, max. centrifugal force 15'500 x g
Applications:
Laboratory automation: multiple robotic entry with injection needles and cannulas through re-closable cross-slit septum
Sterile media and solution exchange and removal of cell-based products enabled by septum surface sterilization
Elimination of tedious automation of screwing/unscrewing during robotic automation by access through the septum
Centrifugation of suspension cells without prior removal of solution from the tube
