TPP TubeSpin Bioreactor Tubes

Instruction for Use

TPP TubeSpin® Bioreactor

The TubeSpin® bioreactor is suitable for high-throughput screening, cultivation and optimization processes of prokaryotic (aerobic bacteria) and eukaryotic (yeasts, algae, HEK, CHO, Sf-9) suspension cells.
The TubeSpin® bioreactor is available with a filter screw cap with 5 or 10 openings over a PTFE filter membrane.
The TubeSpin® Bioreactor is intended for single use only.
Note:
Follow national regulations when handling biological material, use appropriate protective clothing Take note of the regulations of aseptic working during the work process.

Instructions

• Check the packaging material and the product for intactness. Use only faultless material.
• Check the expiry date (EXP) on label and packaging. Only use products with valid EXP.
• Open the packaging in a sterile environment and remove an entire system for use.
• Open the bioreactor and fill it with the medium and inoculum according to your laboratory routine. Please refer to the optimal filling quantity (see technical data).
• Close the filter screw cap with ventilation holes. Continuous gas exchange takes place through the integrated hydrophobic membrane 0.22 µm.

TPP recommendations are guidelines and do not represent an absolute value. TPP accepts no responsibility for the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of this IFU.

• If the aeration/gas exchange needs to be reduced, individual openings may be closed using lab appropriate labels or tape (picture 1)
• Cultivate: Shake cells in appropriate incubation shakers. Refer to the cultivation conditions of the cells (temperature, CO2 and humidity control, shaking frequency)
• Shakers: Follow the safety instructions and operating instructions of the shaker manufacturer.
• Centrifuging: The use of suitable rotors or centrifuge adapters is recommended. Follow the safety instructions of the centrifuge manufacturer.
• The mechanical strength of the tubes during centrifugation is influenced by
  • Shape and material
  • Accuracy of fit in the centrifuge adapter
  • Temperature, centrifugation time, g- number
  • Chemical and physical properties of the centrifuged material
  • Rotor type: fixed-angle or swing-out rotor
• Test the multitude of influencing factors under routine conditions beforehand.
• Storage before use at room temperature, protected from UV light

Remarks and Recommendations:

• The graduation serves as a guide for filling quantity and is no absolute value.
• Alcohol 90 % with mechanical stress (rubbing) might dissolve or blur the white color of the print.
