Digital Microplate Shakers

Thermo Scientific™ Digital Microplate Shakers are specialized laboratory instruments designed for precise and efficient shaking or mixing of microplates. Here’s a brief description:

1. Shaking Mechanism: These microplate shakers employ a shaking mechanism that imparts controlled and consistent motion to microplates, ensuring thorough mixing of samples contained within the wells.
2. Variable Speed Control: Digital Microplate Shakers typically offer variable speed settings, allowing users to adjust the shaking speed to match the viscosity and mixing requirements of their samples. This flexibility accommodates a wide range of laboratory applications.
3. Orbital and Linear Shaking: Some models provide both orbital and linear shaking motions. Orbital motion is suitable for uniform mixing, while linear motion is ideal for applications requiring back-and-forth motion.
4. Platform Versatility: The shakers are designed to accommodate various microplate formats, including 96-well and 384-well plates. Some models may also have adjustable platforms or adapters to accommodate different plate types.
5. Applications: Thermo Scientific™ Digital Microplate Shakers are widely used in life science research, molecular biology, genomics, and drug discovery for tasks such as sample mixing, reagent distribution, enzyme assays, and DNA extraction.
6. User-Friendly: Equipped with a user-friendly control panel and display, these shakers are easy to set up and operate. Digital timers, alarms, and real-time speed monitoring enhance user convenience.
7. Compact Design: The shakers are designed to be compact and space-efficient, making them suitable for laboratories with limited bench space. Their portability allows for easy movement between workstations.
8. Safety Features: Some models include safety features such as a lid lock or platform clamps to secure microplates during shaking, preventing accidental spillage and ensuring laboratory safety.

In summary, Thermo Scientific™ Digital Microplate Shakers are essential tools for laboratories conducting high-throughput assays and experiments in microplates. Their variable speed control, platform versatility, and user-friendly design make them valuable instruments for researchers and scientists working on a wide range of applications that require precise and efficient sample mixing.
