MPS-1 High–Speed Multi Plate Shaker – Witec AG

A compact and user–friendly shaker, ideal for personal use - features a head for vortexing a single tube.

The High–Speed Multi Plate Shaker 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 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.

The 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 200 μl 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)
