RTS-1

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and applications for the RTS-1 and RTS-1C personal bioreactors by Grant Instruments. These devices are compact, efficient, and designed for microbial growth logging in real-time using a 'Reverse-Spin' agitation method.
Applications: The bioreactors are suitable for bacterial cultivation, strain screening, temperature stress experiments, media optimization, synthetic biology, inhibition tests, and strain quality control.
Specifications:
  • Temperature Range: RTS-1 operates from +25 to 70°C, while RTS-1C ranges from +4 to +70°C.
  • Speed Control: Variable speed from 50 to 2,000 rpm with 10 rpm increments.
  • Measurement: Real-time optical density (OD) measurement at 850 nm with a precision of ±0.3 OD.
  • Sample Volume: 5 to 30 ml.
  • Temperature Stability: ±0.1°C with specific accuracy ranges depending on the temperature.
  • Dimensions: Both models measure 130 x 212 x 200 mm.
  • Weight: RTS-1 weighs 1.7 kg, and RTS-1C weighs 2.2 kg.
Features:
  • Microprocessor-controlled temperature with forced air circulation for even distribution.
  • 3D graphical representation of growth rate over time.
  • Programmable cycling of cultivation parameters.
  • LCD display for easy monitoring of temperature, RPM, and time.
  • Innovative reverse spinning for effective mixing.
Technical Details:
  • Measurement Range: Varies for different organisms and volumes, with specific OD ranges provided.
  • Mass Transfer Coefficient (kLa): Up to 350 ± 26 h-1 at 5 ml.
  • Power Consumption: RTS-1 uses 40W, and RTS-1C uses 60W.
