ABOUT SETIS™
What is SETIS™ ?
SETIS™ is a novel concept within TIS technology, using the Twin-bottles principle of two connected vessels (plant material and growth media vessels). Most of the problems and disadvantages of either the commercialised or self-built TIS bioreactors have been solved. Every detail of SETIS™ has been designed to fulfil the requirements of both, plant material and end user.
TIS technology has been highly optimized, developing the ideal TIS system for biomass and massive plant micropropagation.
Standard, ready-to-use, simple, durable, secure and optimal design. This is SETIS™
SETIS™ has a very simple and safe setup, with a minimum of parts compared to any other bioreactor.
Only six components to have a 'state-of-the-art' bioreactor.
Parts of SETIS™ bioreactor
Culture vessel (6 liters volume)
Media vessel (4 liters volume)
Screw caps (Ø50 & Ø80mm)
Silicone gaskets for screw caps
Air filters
Silicone tube
How it works
01
Stationary phase
No compressed air is supplied. Growth media remains in the media vessel and plant material within a gas environment. Bioreactor is mostly in this phase.
02
Immersion phase
Compressed air is supplied into the media vessel in order to transfer growth media to the upper culture vessel. Plant material remains under a liquid environment and nutrients uptake takes place.
03
Drain phase
Growth media returns by gravity force to the media vessel.
04
Ventilation phase
Compressed air is supplied into the culture vessel in order to renew its internal gas environment.
