  • Page 6: General Information

    3. General Information Models RTS-1 & RTS-1C are personal bioreactors which utilize patented Reverse- ® Spin technology that applies non-invasive, mechanically driven, low energy consumption, in- novative type of agitation. In it, the cell suspension is mixed by rotating a single-use falcon bioreactor tube around its axis with a change of direction of rotation motion, resulting in highly efficient mixing and oxygenation for aerobic cultivation.

    Multiply the dilution factor values to get the OD of the samples. Continue to software manual page 29. 5.3.2. RTS-1 / RTS-1C can be calibrated to detect scattered light of any possible cell with any possible shape and size, but due to difference of light scattering in various cell suspensions, we cannot guarantee the stated measurement range in all conditions.
  • Page 11 5.4. Calibration verification for hardware versions 8 and earlier. The device is hardware calibrated at the factory for specific microorganism size of 0.4-0.8 x 1-3 μm and a cell volume of approximately 0.5-5.0 μm for operation with 50 ml tube at temperature range from +4°C to +70°C and saves calibration data when being switched off.
