Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is one of eight herpes viruses known to infect humans and other vertebrates. VZV commonly causes chicken-pox in children and both shingles and postherpetic neuralgia in adults. Primary VZV infection results in chickenpox, which may rarely result in complications including encephalitis or pneumonia. VZV, like other herpes viruses, remains dormant in the nervous system of the infected person, and in 10-20% of cases the VZV reactivates later in life producing a disease known as herpes zoster or shingles. Serious complications of shingles include postherpetic neuralgia, zoster multiplex, myelitis, herpes ophthalmicus, or zoster sine herpete.

Product Info
Compact and stylish designed, the BioShake XP high-speed microplate mixer lets you perform all your standard mixing runs with a minimum of adjustments. The XP offers outstanding performance to handle a wide range of applications across biotechnology, pharmaceutical and academic research.
Small. Light. Efficient. Quiet.
Ideal for microplates & PCR plates
High-precision mixing from 200 up to 3,000 rpm
Universal spring clamps for easy fixation
Wide range of adapters
Stylish, fire resistant aluminium housing
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Compact & stylish designed
Mixing tasks in microplates can be realized fast & safe with using adjustable speed of 200 up to 3,000 rpm.
The BioShake mixing-technology is obviously more robust, vibration free and needs less maintenance compared to classical mixers.
The first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake XP 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 XP plate mixer 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.
COMFORT
Simple intuitive operation and programming
The BioShake XP 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 and mixing frequency.
UNIVERSAL SPRING CLAMPS
Suitable for all microplates
In the corners eight spring clamps are inserted for easy fixation of skirted microplates anddeep 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.
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 XP 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 for us.
EXCHANGABLE ADAPTERS
For a wide range of applications
The BioShake XP 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.

Rapid spin column purification of genomic DNA from viable yeast cells, fungal spores or mycelium, and bacteria including Gram-positive
Bead tubes (provided) allow for effective mechanical homogenization
Purified DNA is of high quality and integrity and compatible with any sensitive downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, RFLP and more
These kits provide fast and reliable procedures for the purification of genomic DNA from viable yeast cells, fungal spores or mycelium, and bacteria including Gram-positive. Genomic DNA is efficiently extracted from the cells by a combination of heat treatment, detergents and Bead Tubes (provided). An optional lyticase treatment allows for improved DNA yields with certain fungal and yeast species. Recovered genomic DNA is of excellent yield and purity for any downstream application including PCR, qPCR, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), sequencing, SNP analysis and more.
