THE WHEATON®
ROLLER SYSTEM
WHEATON® roller bottle culture apparatuses have long since been appreciated for their excellent performance in laboratory, pilot plant and production cell culture installations.
We understand that control, monitoring and documentation are vital for every cell culture application. That's why our state-of-the-art instruments are designed to support. industry-standard communication protocols to facilitate integration into new production facilities. They also feature a USB downloadable system event log for accurate process documentation.
Our system is rounded off by an extensive range of roller bottles in various sizes and with different closure configurations, as well as incubators optimally matched to the roller apparatuses.
All this to provide you with optimum support in your daily work.

ROLLER OPTIONS INFORMATION [7]
Belt Break Alarm
The Belt Break Alarm employs two magnetic sensors to ensure that all main pulleys are rotating on the unit. This is included on all R2P™ 2.0 Roller Apparatus.
Battery Backup
The Battery Backup protects cells during transport, processing and power outages. The unit automatically and seamlessly switches over to battery power to provide rotation for 8 – 18 hours. Bottom mounted control systems house larger, longer lasting batteries.
Temperature Monitoring/Alarm Option
This option includes two precision temperature probes for real time temperature monitoring and deviation alarms. The temperature is displayed in the temperature calibration screen or on the screen saver for quick confirmation of optimal operating conditions.
