Shakers

PMS- 1000i MICROPLATE SHAKER

The PMS-1000 i microplate shaker provides reliable, regulated shaking for two or four microplates. With a speed range of 150 to 1000 rpm, the PMS-1000 i can be adjusted to suit the application - gentle shaking to ensure that the well contents are not ejected or more vigorous agitation for effective aeration across the small surface area of each of the wells.

Suitable for mixing, incubation and cultivation of biological and chemical components in many life science disciplines including microbiology, cell and molecular biology, immunology and biotechnology. Specific applications include: immunoassays, HTS applications, colouration tests, binding of template DNA to silica-coated magnetic beads.

The PMS-1000 i avoids low signal caused by inadequate re-suspension of purified PCR products, helps ensure the correct optical density in each of the wells and helps achieve maximum yield and quality in production of plasmid DNA.

  • Quick and easy screw fitting of any standard-depth 96- or 384-well plate
  • Continuous or timed operation, with automatic switch off
  • Platform for two microtitre plates supplied as standard. Platform for four plates (MPP-4) available as an option
  • Easy-to-use integral electronic timer ensure accurate count-down and repeatability of time-sensitive incubations
  • Easy to read LED display clearly indicates time remaining on timed operations
  • Speed to suit the application: - gentle shaking to ensure that the well contents remain in situ, or more vigorous agitation for effective aeration across the surface area of each well.

Applications

Specific applications include: immunoassays, HTS applications, colouration tests, binding of template DNA to silica-coated magnetic beads. Areas include microbiology, cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical etc.

THERMOSHAKER PHMT FOR MICROTUBES

The PHMT Series are compact, efficient and highly versatile thermoshakers, ideal for applications requiring heating and shaking in microtubes and suitable for use in cold rooms. It is effectively three instruments in one:

  • A microtube & microplate thermoshaker, a compact benchtop incubator without shaking, a microtube shaker without temperature control
Features

By combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase, reaction process times and operator workload are reduced and efficiency of many procedures is increased, resulting in a higher throughput.

  • Available with microtube blocks accommodating; PHMT-PSC-15 : 20 x 1.5ml microtubes, PHMT-PSC-18 : 20 x 0.5ml plus 12 x 1.5ml microtubes, PHMT-PSC-20 : 20 x 2.0ml microtubes.
  • Continuous or timed operation, with alarm buzzer and automatic switch-off facility, Convenient interchangeable blocks.
  • 2-line LCD display clearly indicates both set and actual values for temperature, shaking speed and time.
  • Compact and sturdy, with a low profile and small footprint - fits neatly into the workspace and provides years of reliable service.
  • The powerful motor operates extremely smoothly, quietly and consistently. Its 'soft' start prevents possible damage to samples from jolting .
Applications

The PHMT is ideal for DNA extraction, enzymic reactions and cellular biology techniques.

THERMOSHAKER PHMP & PHMP- 4 FOR MICROPLATES

Excellent temperature uniformity across the platform/microplate (due to the bi-directional heating system) combined with variable speed and variable temperature produces the ideal thermoshaker for microplate incubations.

Can be used with all types of standard depth microplates and offers three instruments in one for maximum versatility and efficiency:

  • A microplate thermoshaker, a compact bench top incubator without shaking, a microplate shaker operating at ambient + 4°C to 40°C

Features

  • Rapid heat-up.
  • Continuous or timed operation, with alarm buzzer and automatic switch-off facility.
  • Choice of two models with capacity for two (PHMP) or four (PHMP-4) 96- or 384-well microplates.
  • The heated lid completely covers the flat heating plate to provide bi-directional heating and excellent temperature stability and uniformity, whilst preventing condensation.
  • Combination of bi-directional heating and powerful orbital shaking capability produces the maximum yield from incubations.
  • Very easy to operate, with simple set-up of temperature, shaking speed and time via push buttons and the 2-line LCD status display.

Applications

A versatile product for use in immunochemical reactions, enzyme and protein analysis and molecular biology techniques such as micro array analysis.
