Max angle | Degrees (°) | 180 | Maximum rotation angle of the platform along its longitudinal axis. 180° results in a completely vertical position on both sides |
Speed | (°/second) | 90 | Speed of rotation of the platform along its longitudinal axis |
Acceleration | (°/second2) | 90 | Acceleration of the platform until the designated speed is achieved |
Deceleration | (°/second2) | 90 | Deceleration of the platform until the speed is 0°/s |
Vertical pause | (seconds) | 10 | Vertical hold time when the rotation has achieved the maximum angle, after which the platform rotates in the opposite direction. Used to let microcarriers settle and minimize shear |
Horizontal pause | (time, e.g. hours) | One hour pause after every 7 h of agitation | Hold time in horizontal (rest) position, used to optimise bead-to-bead transfer |
