Rhodium Science Chamber 05CT

Rhodium Science Chamber™ 05CT (RhSC-05CT) facility supports up to ten, 5 mL Rhodium Cryotubes for a total volume of 50 mL per facility. The RhSC-05CT has been flight safety certified to operate between -100oC and +85oC, permitting use of the facility at all biological growth and preservation temperatures. Science teams are encouraged to utilize the Rhodium Cryotubes during preflight tests to optimize growth parameters and avoid non-experiment variables from altering flight data interpretations. Rhodium can provide access to the proprietary Rhodium Quality, Industry Compatible (QuIC) Space Process™ for industry-recognized quality assurances that help de-risk the overall mission. As of Summer of 2024, The RhSC-05CT facility had supported nine different ISSInternational Space Station science experiments with four more manifested launch and operation in 2024 and early 2025.

The Rhodium Science Chamber™ 05CT (RhSC-05CT) is available for immediate use and can support launches within 6-9 months of mission kickoff. The Rhodium Science and Mission Operations Teams will work to develop the best mission plan to optimize results and maximize success potentials for each science experiment.

Listed are examples of samples that can be supported by the Rhodium Science Chamber™ 05CT (RhSC-05CT): liquid or lyophilized cultures of bacteria, fungi, plants, virus, microeukaryotes, medical-grade fecal material, human biological material, plants, seed growth, plants, soils, food production, synthetic biology, tissue culture, organoids, and stem cells. Additional support for inorganic chemistry solutions/reagents, crystalline formations, pharmaceutical formulations, and material samples.
