Model HT-91002 w/Manual Knob Adjustment

Microplate Orbital Shaker   

For Biotechnology, Genomics and Proteomics Processing
 The HT-91002 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 vernier 10-turn dials provide two independent, manually adjustable orbital speeds for versatile lab use.

Features

  • Rotationally shakes a single microplate.
  • 0.5, 1 or 2 mm orbital motion.
  • 2 selectable & adjustable speeds. 10-turn vernier, lockable speed dials. Switch selection, LED indication
  • Low stirring speed to ultra vigorous mixing speeds for viscous liquids.
  • 100-240 VAC power adapter. Low voltage 24VDC at shaker for safe operation.
  • Solid aluminum block base with urethane pad provides stable platform. No walking.
  • 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 technicians.
  • 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 will not spill liquids at higher 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 microplate wells and micro tubes.

The footprint of the unique HT-91002 Orbital Shaker is ideal for crowded laboratory or manufacturing environments.

  

Its solid aluminum construction with a urethane footing does not allow walking or bouncing, and the nickel plating ensures easy wipe down. It’s been designed to allow spilled liquids to roll off with minimal bio-contaminants trapped.  

It has an operating temperature range of 0 to 120 degrees F, and it has negligible temperature rise itself, allowing operation continuously in cold rooms without affecting plate contents. 

Designed originally to enhance existing automation and robotics for genome sequencing and archiving applications, its tiny size and in-well mixing ability make it ideal for many biotechnology applications.

Specifications
Orbital Motion 1.0 mm diameter, circular shape, constant everywhere on well plate. 0.5 and 2.0 mm optional.
Speed 60 RPM to 3600 RPM, 2 separately adjustable potentiometers for two independent speeds. Speed selectable by applying power to terminal 1 versus terminal 2. 7500 RPM top speed optional.
Power Required 24VDC 180 mA; 100-240VAC 50-60 Hz power adapter included
