What types of microplates are compatible with this unit?

This unit is designed for use with all types of standard depth microplates, including common 96-well and 384-well formats.

Can this unit be used for incubation without shaking?

Yes, this model can function as a compact benchtop incubator without engaging the shaking mechanism, offering versatility.

How does the bi-directional heating system benefit my applications?

The bi-directional heating system, involving both the platform and a heated lid, ensures excellent temperature uniformity and stability, while also preventing condensation on microplate lids, which is crucial for consistent results.

Is this unit suitable for cold room operation?

The unit can function as a microplate shaker in cold or ambient temperatures, but its heating range starts at +25°C, so it does not provide active cooling below ambient.

What maintenance is typically required for a thermo-shaker of this type?

Routine maintenance typically involves keeping the platform and exterior clean, checking for any obstructions to the shaking mechanism, and ensuring proper ventilation. Specific calibration may be required periodically.

This listing is for 1 of 2 Grant-Bio PHMP Thermo-Shaker.

Excellent temperatures uniformity across the platform/microplate (patented bi-directional heating of microplates) 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 devices in one for maximum versatility and efficiency.

A microplate thermoshaker
A compact benchtop incubator without shaking
A microplate shaker in cold or ambient temperatures

Features

Temperature setting range: + 25°C to 100°C.
