Bibby Scientific MCS Biological Stirrers
The stirrers are designed for optimal suspension cell culture and the use of microcarriers.
A system comprises of a stirrer platform and a number of glass culture vessels.
Five stirrer platform sizes are available, along with 7 sizes of culture vessel
Speed range from 0 to 80rpm
Softstart for slow acceleration and deceleration
Interval setting option
Stainless steel stirrer platform with locators for the culture vessels
Designed for incubator environments
Unique stirring action
The culture vessels incorporate a unique base design which, together with the bulb-ended
stirrer, ensures that the cells are lifted into suspension at the lowest possible speeds. This gentle
stirring action promotes high cell yields.
The stirrers create virtually no heat so there is negligible heat transfer from the magnetic drive
to the culture vessel, making the system suitable for use in both incubators and cold rooms.
Calibrated speed control and interval stirring
Cell attachment to microcarriers and high cell yields are ensured by the special softstart/stop
design and interval stirring option. The former ensures slow acceleration and deceleration of
the stirrer, avoiding excessive turbulence in the culture media and eliminating cell damage.
The interval stirring can be used during the attachment phase to further reduce agitation of
the media or when culturing particularly fragile cells.
