TWC BioSearch
Glassware Supplier

Perform pilot scale experiments or gear up for high volume production with, TWC BioSearch product support, and your
Bellco Roller Apparatus. Our product line ranges from the two position Economy model through an 86 position High-Pro unit. Our new Programmable Roller Apparatus can interface with your PC. Variable speed control and RPM display are standard throughout the product line. All models feature ramped bottle stops for easy bottle removal, keyed roller shafts to prevent slippage, and removable rollers for simple maintenance. Rollers are manufactured of a non-transferring, chemical resistant rubber compound and are mounted on ball-bearing shafts.

Modular units consist of a five position base unit with up to eight additional decks, and provide a flexible system from start up to production. Add decks right in the laboratory for increased cell production capacity without utilizing additional floor space.

Fixed Frame units are permanent in height and cost effective for large volume monolayer cell culture production.

All-Position Drive propels each roller enabling the use of lightweight plastic roller bottles. Its location on the rear of the unit does not interfere with loading and unloading of bottles, and facilitates servicing of belts without the need to remove pulleys.

Stand-By Drive and Alarm automatically keeps roller apparatus functioning when disconnected from external power, during power outages, or in cases of primary drive system failure.

 

PROGRAMMABLE ROLLER APPARATUS

The Bellco Programmable Roller Apparatus utilizes a digital PID controller to store six programs that follow every instruction from ramping rates to actual bottle RPM's. For accuracy, PID feedback compensates for changes in load. It even allows password protection for your routines to prevent accidental mis-settings. The RS 422/485 port permits remote control of up to 99 units by a PC, recording data such as run time, speed and alarms. All controls, including the digital readout, are mounted on the top deck of the unit preventing the electronics from getting wet due to washing or media spillage. All Position Drive and an audible stoppage alarm are standard equipment for this 53 bottle position unit. Add the optional battery backup system to ensure 18 hours of continuous operation despite external power failure.

Sci/ERA™ CELL PRODUCTION ROLLER SYSTEM
An electrical service outage, inadvertent circuit disconnection or blown fuse can suddenly put thousands of dollars worth of cell cultures in peril. Mechanical or motor malfunctions can be just as destructive. The Sci/ERA™ Cell Production Roller System virtually eliminates the threat of cell loss by providing auxiliary battery power reserve, dual drive motors, and motion detection circuitry. The battery backup provides for up to 18 hours of continuous operation in cases of disconnection or power outage. The Stand-By Drive and Alarm System will disconnect the primary motor and energize the secondary motor upon motion loss, bypassing the mechanical or motor fault. The audible and visual alarm system complete with remote jack for interfacing with alarm systems or computers, warns of AC power failure or motion loss.
