The TubeSpin® Bioreactor 50 with Septum is intended for the use during laboratory automations such as: robotics use for sterile exchange of medium and solutions or withdrawal from cell based products, for ex. with the Tecan Freedom EVO® .
Features of the TubeSpin® Bioreactor 50 with Septum
Re-closable cross-slit septum for multipel entries
Compatible for injection needles up to 2.1 mm (12 gauges) in diameter
Working volume
Barcode 128 on each tube for efficient automated tracking (coding: lot number plus count renders each tube unique. Ex: 2013000099999)
Sterile gas exchange through openings above the hydrophobic PTFE membrane in the screw cap
Conical tube fits in standard 50 ml centrifuge adapter, max. centrifugal force 15’500 x g
Usage:
Laboratory automation: multiple robot entry with injection needles and cannulas through re-closable cross-slit septum
Sterile media and solution exchange and removal of cell based products, enabled by surface sterilization of septum
Elimination of laborious automation of screwing/unscrewing during robotic automation by access through septum
Centrifugation of suspension cells without need of prior removal of solution from tube
