Microplate shaker promises versatility
Particularly useful for molecular and cell biologists performing Elisas (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) the PHMP-4 microplate shaker can accommodate four standard depth 96 or 384 well microplates
Heating is optimised by the heated lid, which not only ensures excellent temperature stability and uniformity across the plates, but also prevents condensation, an important consideration when handling micro-volume samples.
It also reduces noise and further insulates and protects sensitive reagents from light damage.
The competitively priced microplate thermoshaker is invaluable in the fields of immunochemistry and molecular diagnostics, where confidence that stringent requirements of reproducibility and precision are consistently met is a prerequisite.
It combines precise temperature control from ambient +5 to 60C with adjustable shaking speeds over a range from 300 to 1200rpm.
The PHMP has a two line set-up and status display for ease of use and accurate setting of temperature, shaking speed and time.
The micoplate thermoshaker also has a stylish contemporary design, with a low profile and small footprint and an in-built timer and a useful audible alarm to signal programme completion.
The compact PHMP is suitable for a number of shaking and heating applications, in many scientific fields including molecular biology, cytochemistry, biochemistry and molecular chemistry.
It is particularly useful for applications such as bacterial cultivation and DNA analysis, in situ reactions, and enzyme and protein analysis.
The microplate thermoshaker forms just part of the exciting new line of Grant-bio products for life-science applications.
Supported by the CE mark and a two-year guarantee, it can be purchased worldwide through an extensive network of approved laboratory equipment distributors.
