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
Grant Instruments has introduced a highly versatile, variable speed, variable temperature microplate shaker An innovative bi-directional heating system provides excellent temperature stability (+0.1C) and uniformity (+0.2C) over the entire heating platform

The heated lid and heated base combination also prevents condensation which is critical when handling micro-volume samples at high temperatures.
The combination of the bi-directional heating and the powerful orbital shaking produces the maximum yield from incubations.
The PHMP-4 microplate shaker is actually three instruments in one.
It can be used as a microplate thermoshaker, a compact benchtop incubator without shaking, and a microplate shaker without temperature control.
This multi-function capability maximises versatility and efficiency.
By combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase, both reaction process times and operator workloads can be reduced and the efficiency of procedures increased, resulting in higher throughput.
As well as its suitability for Elisas, the PHMP-4 can be used in a number of applications including molecular biology (for microbial cell cultivation and DNA analysis), cytochemistry (for in situ reactions), biochemistry (for enzyme and protein analysis), molecular chemistry (for matrix analysis), immunochemistry and molecular diagnostics.
The PHMP-4 microplate shaker is extremely easy to operate, with very simple setup of temperature, speed and time, and display of actual and set temperature.
It provides a heating range from ambient plus 5C to 60C (and optionally to temperatures above 60C) and powerful orbital shaking with reproducible speeds from 250 to 1200rpm.
The unit is compact, with a low profile and small footprint.
Like all Grant equipment the PHMP-4 is built to last, and comes with a two-year warranty.
