ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Save time.
By combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase, reaction process times and operator workload are reduced and efficiency of many procedures is increased, resulting in a higher throughput.
The first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake iQ its essential functionality. It provides a high amount of security, device stability and ensures a long service life.
GENTLE MIXING OF SAMPLES
By planar orbital motion
German designed and manufactured, BioShake iQ thermoshaker offer an ultra-efficient, 2-dimensional shaking axis so that samples mix completely in a fraction of the time of competing systems.
The mixing orbit of 2.0 mm is always constant. The orbital shaking is precisely controlled, in fact, that you need never spin down your plates after mixing. Even tubes, vials, high density plates, or low sample volumes, offer no obstacle for these precision tools.
Fully adjustable between 200 rpm and 3,000 rpm, well beyond the speeds of most other brands, guarantees fast, splatter-free, mixing for tubes, glass vials or across an entire 384-well microplate.
HOMOGENEOUS HEATING
Using large-area heating source in combination with digital sensor electronic
The BioShake iQ heats from ambient to 99°C in a short time, provides ease of use features, amazing comfort and maximum safety.
Within the BioShake iQ thinnest large-area heating elements and sensors are integrated. During the heat up time the special electronic control system guarantees the same temperature for all vessels with minimal deviations.
Temperatures are selectable from ambient temperature to 99°C in steps of 1.0°C. The nominal regulation accuracy is better than ±0.1°C with a uniformity of temperature distribution better than ±0.5°C at 45°C across the heating surface.
Exchangeable thermo adapter plates and thermal blocks enable a perfect adaptation to microplates, tubes or glass vials.
UNIVERSAL SPRING CLAMPS
Suitable for all microplates
In the corners eight spring clamps are inserted for easy fixation of skirted microplates and deep well plates in SBS format 127.7 x 85.5 mm without an attached adapter. These spring clamps lock the microplate quickly and safely, even at the highest mixing frequencies.
For flexible and deformable PCR plates we recommend using of the related PCR adapter.
Fast mixing processes with frequent plate changes can be performed in the routine as easy and safe.
COMFORT
Simple intuitive operation and programming
The BioShake iQ is operated from the front face of the enclosure which includes touch buttons and a display.
Special buttons for start, stop and storage of time and mixing modes enable the instrument to run complex applications. This opens new points of view on the daily laboratory work and optimizes routine application enormously.
The short mix button allows short and fast mixing in between.
The two line LCD display guarantees simultaneous and safe reading of all programmed and measured parameters as time, mixing frequency and temperature.
EXCHANGABLE THERMO ADAPTERS
For a wide range of applications
The BioShake iQ comes with a variety of standardized and specific adapter plates. The replacement of the adapters are very simple.
Perfect shaped adapters allow an optimal fit for standard tubes, lysis tubes, microplates, glass vials and other sample vessels. An excellent temperature uniformity and homogeneity is guaranteed for all samples.
UNIQUE DESIGN MEETS HIGH-END TECHNOLOGY
First-class finished aluminium housing
Unique and efficient design combined with the most compact housing result in beautiful and well-defined laboratory equipment. Therefore, the first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake iQ its essential functionality. It provides a high amount of security, device stability and ensures a long service life.
Safety of the user and ease of use are clearly a priority.
