The Revolutionary BioTilt™ and the Evolution of Biocouplers™

Bioreactors have long been a staple in efficiently multiplying tissue culture plants, yet traditional models often present complexities and high costs, particularly challenging for medium-to-small-scale culturists and hobbyists.

This led us to develop the Biocoupler™—the market's simplest temporary immersion bioreactor.

Upon its launch, the Biocoupler™ was met with resounding success, aiding thousands of tissue culturists worldwide in overcoming scalability challenges.

Remarkably, it enabled the production of hundreds of plantlets from a small jar, drastically boosting business profitability.

We have even produced over 500 plants using one single Biocoupler™!

Pretty incredible, isn't it?

Now, why are we diving into the topic of Biocouplers™?

Understanding the success of the Biocoupler™ is crucial as it sheds light on the why we created the BioTilt™ in the first place, highlighting its functionality and problem-solving capabilities.

Read on to learn about their connection and how they complement each other.

What Is The Biocoupler™ and What Does It Do?

The Biocoupler™ simplifies the multiplication of plants.

Simply attach a mason jar on each side, add liquid media, and by tilting the jars a few times daily, your tissue culture operation is underway.

Our research confirms the Biocoupler™'s efficacy with various species, including orchids and Venus fly traps, though customers report success across a broader range of plants, including Philodendrons, Monstera, succulents, callus work, and even synthetic seed sprouting!

Here is a video on our YouTube Channel that teaches you how to make liquid media for the BioCoupler™:

For over a year now, we've dedicated ourselves to extensive R&D efforts, diligently testing the compatibility of Biocoupler™ with a wide range of plant species. The results have been consistently positive, showcasing its perfect fit for many in vitro applications.

While the Biocoupler™ solved the issue of: 

• Multiplication
• Space problems due to traditional bulky bioreactors
• Operational complexity

The product had one limitation: Manual tilting of the jars to dip explant for a couple of seconds in the media to provide nutrition. 

This led our R&D team at Plant Cell Technology to develop a solution that automates the process and frees our culturists for their remaining essential tissue culture tasks: The BioTilt™

Introducing The BioTilt™

With The BioTilt™, scaling up doesn’t mean scaling up your workload.

This revolutionary device automates the rotation of your Biocouplers™ at precisely timed intervals, optimizing growth conditions and boosting plant multiplication, all without you lifting a finger.

Operate it manually or control it remotely through a mobile app. The BioTilt™ is designed to make your life easier. It's stackable, robust, and fits seamlessly into any lab environment, big or small.

Here’s a list of all essential innovative features BioTilt™ offers and their benefits:

• Accommodates up to 25 Biocouplers™ per stack: BioTilt™ is ideal for both small-scale and large-scale operations due to its high capacity. Furthermore, its modular design allows for flexible stacking.
• Modular design for flexible stacking: Customize your setup to fit your space and needs by easily interlocking and arranging BioTilt™ units like building blocks. Consequently, this enables you to optimize workflow.
• Optimizes workflow: Effortlessly arrange units to create the most efficient workflow for your specific needs. As a result, BioTilt™ is adaptable for various plants and production scales.
