Versatile Mixing for Laboratory ApplicationsThe Micro Plate Shaker is engineered for a wide range of laboratory tasks, including mixing, incubation, and agitation of microplates. Its adjustable timer (1-99 minutes) and variable speed make it suitable for protocols requiring precision and consistency. The non-slip platform ensures optimal stability during operation, helping maintain experimental integrity.
User-Friendly Digital Control PanelFeaturing an intuitive LED display and digital, microprocessor-controlled interface, the shaker allows users to set precise speed and time parameters. This ensures high repeatability and accuracy, enhancing workflow efficiency in both research and diagnostic labs. The easy-to-read interface supports seamless operation, even in fast-paced laboratory settings.
FAQ's of Micro Plate Shaker:
Q: How do I operate the Micro Plate Shaker for optimal results?
A: To use the Micro Plate Shaker, securely place your microplates on the non-slip stainless steel platform, ensuring they do not exceed the 2.5 kg load capacity. Set your desired speed (200-1200 rpm) and timer (1-99 minutes) using the digital control panel, then press start. The shaker's microprocessor ensures consistent agitation throughout your procedure.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the Micro Plate Shaker?
A: The shaker incorporates over-speed protection, over-current protection, and a non-slip mat on the platform. These features protect both the instrument and your samples, reducing the risk of accidents or spillage during high-speed mixing. The durable, powder-coated mild steel housing also adds to its operational safety.
Q: When is it ideal to use this shaker in the laboratory?
A: This shaker is ideal for tasks that require uniform mixing or incubation in microplates, such as molecular biology assays or ELISA. Its timer and variable speed controls allow for reproducible results in protocols with different mixing requirements.
Q: Where should the Micro Plate Shaker be installed for safe operation?
A: Install the unit on a stable benchtop in a clean, indoor laboratory environment. Operate it within an ambient temperature range of +5C to +40C and at up to 80% non-condensing relative humidity for safe and reliable performance.
Q: What are the processes supported by this Micro Plate Shaker?
A: The Micro Plate Shaker is designed for shaking, mixing, and gentle agitation processes commonly required in life science laboratories, including sample preparation, reagent mixing, and incubation steps in microplate-based assays.
Q: How does using this shaker benefit laboratory workflows?
A: By providing uniform, reproducible mixing at low noise levels (<55 dB(A)), the Micro Plate Shaker streamlines experimental workflows and minimizes operator fatigue. Its compact footprint saves benchtop space and the digital controls offer reliable, precise performance.
