Model HT-91000

Microplate Orbital Shaker

For Biotechnology, Genomics and Proteomics Processing
Our HT-91000 Microplate Orbital Shaker is designed to provide an orbital shaking motion for a single microplate, keeping liquids either gently stirred or fully mixed and in-suspension. Two-speed potentiometer settings, simple switch or relay activation. Ideal for low cost shaking on bio-robot deckplates. Ultra thin profile and same footprint dimensions as a standard wellplate.

Features

Rotationally shakes a single microplate.
0.5, 1 or 2 mm orbital motion.
2 selectable & adjustable speeds, 60 to 3600 RPM.
Low stirring speed to ultra vigorous mixing speeds for viscous liquids.
24 VDC low power for safe and easy integration with other automation.
Green LED power indicator, two blue LEDs for speed selection indication.
Cold running motor allows continuous operation, weeks at a time.
Small number of precision components for extreme reliability over years of use.
Spring clips secure microplate; easy on and off for robots or lab staff.
Base is exact same size as SBS microplate & fits directly onto robotic decks.
Use the microplate's own cover to protect contents.

Description

This precision electronic shaker provides a tight 1 mm orbital pattern for standard 96 and 384 well plates and does not spill liquids at high speeds. It is designed with two continuously variable speeds in the range of 60 to 3600 RPM, providing a gentle stirring motion for skin prevention, medium speeds to ensure liquids remain fully mixed and in suspension across all wells, and vortex mixing for microtubes or particle/pelletized liquids.

The footprint of the unique HT-91000 Orbital Shaker is the same size as a standard wellplate, and drops in easily as a replacement platform for most robotic deck plates.

Its solid aluminum construction does not allow walking or bouncing, and the nickel plating ensures easy wipe down. It has an operating temperature range of 0 to 160 degrees F, and it has negligible temperature rise itself, allowing operation continuously in cold rooms without affecting plate contents, and directly inside incubators.

Designed originally to enhance existing automation and robotics for genome sequencing and archiving applications, its tiny size, standardized SBS microplate footprint and in-well mixing ability make it ideal for many biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications, including manually loaded microplate handling.
