RTS-8 is a personal bioreactor that utilizes patented Reverse-Spin® technology that applies non-invasive, mechanically driven, low energy consumption, innovative type of agitation where cell suspension is mixed by the single-use 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.

FEATURES
– Parallel cultivation of 8 tube bioreactors enables to save time and resources for bioprocess optimization
– 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
– Individual temperature control for bioprocess applications
