BioSan Multi-channel Bioreactor RTS-8
Multi-channel Bioreactor with non-invasive real time biomass
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 nearinfrared optical system it is possible to register cell growth kinetics non-invasively in real time.
