Grant Instruments™ Reverse Spin Bioreactor for Mixing and Oxygenating Aerobic Cultivation with Cooling

• 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
• Software has been developed to 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
• Active cooling and temperature profiling via software
• 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

Software features:

• Real–Time cell growth logging
• 3D graphical representation of OD or growth rate over time over unit
• Pause option
• Save/Load option
• Report option: PDF and Excel
• Connect up to 12 units simultaneously to 1 computer
• Remote monitoring option (requires internet connection)
