Compact Cell Culture Spinning System ..

The CELLspin from INTEGRA Biosciences is a compact system with remote control for spinning cell culture volumes from 100 to 1000 ml at 5-75 rpm. Two CELLspin systems fit comfortably inside a standard size incubator.

Incorporating a proprietary dual glass pendulum mechanism the CELLspin moves the contents of flasks with a unique oscillating movement that guarantees low shear force while maintaining optimum mixing. As additionally no heat is imparted to the cell suspension - the CELLspin system enables high yield expression from even the most sensitive adherent or suspended cell lines.

The highly flexible system, comprising moisture-resistant flask deck and removable control unit, has been built to provide the versatility for use in research or laboratory scale cell cultivation. Each CELLspin stirring platform duplicates gentle stirring conditions in up to four spin flasks. Integra CELLspin flasks are manufactured to provide a high surface to volume ratio ensuring improved oxygenation over standard designs. The stability of each flask, irrespective of its size, is guaranteed by auto-centre coning.

The advanced control unit enables the entire cell cultivation working process to be pre-programmed through use of a non-volatile memory facility. Facility is provided for programming automatic adjustment of rotary velocity, rotary angle and the interval between, plus length of work cycles allowing secure handling of even sensitive cell lines.
