How does ReelReactor™ work?
For you technical folks, ReelReactor™ is like a plug-flow reactor that is made for biology.
However, unlike plug-flow reactors, no carrier fluids are needed, the reactants constantly mix for the entire residence time, and there is no filtration step at the end.
This makes it a great choice not only for biological but also for many chemical applications.
How does it work?
Fresh reactants are constantly fed into ReelReactor’s™ single-use consumable.
As they enter, they enter a chamber where they formulate at the correct ratios.
Once formulated, they flow through a mixer to ensure homogeneity (equal mixing).
After mixing, they are sequentially isolated into micro-batches where they react in flow.
When a micro-batch is finished reacting, it exits the consumable.
Depending on the configuration, as many as several hundred micro-batches can react at a time, each at different phases.
