Description
High–Speed Multi Plate Shaker–Vortex MPS-1 can be used in virtually any application by providing adjustable mixing of reagents in microtest plates, PCR plates, deepwell plates and test tubes (shaking tubes 0.2 to 2 ml and vortexing any volume up to 50 ml).
The shaker is compact and user–friendly. The shaker is ideal for personal use.
MPS-1 features a head for vortexing a single tube.
Shaker can be used in cold rooms or incubators, operating at ambient temperature range +4°C to +40°C. Low voltage external power supply (12 V) provides electrical safety in humid environment.
MPS-1 features Pulse Mode mixing function that works on the principle of giving a periodic impulse: the tube is accelerated to the set speed, holds it for 3 seconds and then drops the speed to zero. This motion is repeated until the timer runs out. This method provides a constant state of resuspension of the particles inside a tube, as the acceleration is always changing. The advantage of this method is the high throughput of mixed samples compared to vortexing a single tube.
Features:
- Speed control range 300–3,200 rpm
- Smooth mixing with 3 mm orbit
- Mixing presets
- Pulse Mode mixing function
- Quiet operation — low noise at maximum speed
- High stability — stationary at maximum speed
- Universal platform holder for Deepwell plates and Microtest plates
- Additional platforms for semi- and unskirted PCR plates as well as for tubes from 0.2 to 2 ml
- Can be used in cold rooms or incubators (temperature range +4°C to +40°C)
