Roller Culture Apparatus

•Designed to allow the development and growth of cell culture from research to production quantities, without having to change equipment and revalidating protocols.
•Enables scaling-up anchorage-dependent cell lines from standard plastic flasks.
•Benefits include increased surface area, gentle agitation and improved gas exchange when cells are rotated out of the medium.
•Its 6” deck spacing maximizes the use of incubator space.
•Accommodates standard culture vessels, 108 to 121 mm in diameter and up to 550 mm long. Each roller is driven to allow either glass or lighter-weight plastic roller culture vessels to be used.
•Bottle speed: 0.25 to 8.75 RPM ±0.01 RPM (based on 110 mm diameter bottles).
•Offers flexible control and the ability to easily add options at any time due to its modular setup.
•All rollers share the same motor, software, controls and controllers, which makes moving culture conditions between units fast and easy.
•From 5 to 55 positions per unit (holds 10 to 110 of the 850 cm2 vessels).
•Displays accurate RPM by entering vessel diameter.
•Unit continuously monitors both the rotational speed and the drive train (the motor and belts). If the speed falls out of the entered tolerance or if the unit detects a loss of rotation, the unit displays an alarm and sounds a loud buzzer. Alarms can also be linked to an existing monitoring system through the external jack.
•Programmable rotation direction, fixed or reversing. Soft-start and stop can also be programmed to avoid premature cell detachment.
•Settings can be saved in one of the ten memory locations for easy recall later.
•Dimensions: 31”W x 24.5”D x 13.5”H (one deck model).
•Warranty: 1 year.
•Power: 110 Volts.
