After four years of development, Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA) is proud to announce the LIFTERBOTTLE™, a three and one-half liter, wide mouth, polypropylene (PP) bottle with integrated lifters cast into the walls of the bottle.  The mouth is 90 mm wide to allow for the introduction of various sample media and the easy addition and removal of growth scaffolds. The large opening is designed to empty quickly and allow easy cleaning and sterilization. The integrated sealing surface design of the lid gives a tight seal without gaskets for easier maintenance and no contamination. All components of the bottle can be autoclaved.

An optional rotating joint is available, which mounts in the lid and allows for the insertion of up to four non-rotating tubes for pH or temperature probes, or addition of reagents and continuous media removal, as needed.

For investigators without access to multi-bottle roller tables, KCA offers a single bottle roller table, with rotation speeds from very slow, for sensitive organisms or slow kinetics to as fast as 75 rpm, 2/3 full of water, at full incline. The unit contains an intermittent timer for even greater control of rolling intensity to as low as one revolution per hour.
