Shibasaki RF02 Rapisco Rapid Microbial Detector with 488nm Excitation Light Source

The Shibasaki RF02 Rapisco Rapid Microbial Detector employs advanced fluorescence detection technology with a 488 nm excitation light source to enable rapid identification of microorganisms. It reduces bacterial detection times from days to just 10 minutes, significantly accelerating microbial analysis workflows in water quality testing and clinical diagnostics. This instrument supports detection of total bacteria, live and dead cells, along with yeast (fungi), mold spores, and bacterial spores, by selectively applying fluorescence staining reagents. The monochrome CMOS sensor enhances sensitivity for precise fluorescence measurement.

Key features include:

• Rapid fluorescence-based microbial detection ideal for biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing applications requiring fast contamination assessment.
• Capability to detect spores, which are challenging for conventional fluorescence methods, expanding utility in sterility testing and biomanufacturing quality control.
• Compact form factor (131 × 154 × 239 mm) and lightweight design (3.1 kg) facilitate benchtop usage in laboratory environments.
• Versatile power input (AC 100–240 V, DC 24 V) supports varied laboratory settings.
• Operational temperature range of 15–30 °C with caution to avoid direct sunlight ensures reliable sensor performance.

This used unit is sold as-is with potential deviation from original new-product specifications. Functional verification upon receipt is recommended, aligning with standards required in synthetic biology research and clinical diagnostic microbiology. The Rapisco RF02 detector is widely regarded for its ability to expedite microbial screening, crucial for gene editing workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
