VWR Microplate Shaker: reliability and performance for sensitive protocols
The VWR Microplate Shaker is an essential piece of equipment for many biomedical, pharmaceutical and academic laboratories requiring precise and reproducible shaking of samples contained in microplates. Compact, robust and easy to use, this device has been specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of procedures involving microvolumes, whether for enzyme reactions, ELISA assays or suspension cell cultures.
From the moment it is switched on, the user benefits from optimised ergonomics thanks to an intuitive control panel with a clear digital display of speed and time. The rotation speed, adjustable from 100 to 900 rpm with an accuracy of ±2%, allows adaptation to highly sensitive samples as well as more vigorous mixtures. The 3 mm orbital movement ensures gentle and uniform agitation, essential for preventing sedimentation or air bubble formation.
The integrated timer, programmable from 1 second to 9999 minutes, allows short or prolonged cycles to be carried out according to experimental requirements. The Microplate Shaker can accommodate up to four standard microplates or two microtube racks, secured by springs at the four corners of the aluminium tray, ensuring perfect stability during shaking. Its flat design, with a base fitted with suction cups, ensures a secure hold on any laboratory bench without the risk of accidental movement.
In terms of safety, the Microplate Shaker incorporates protective features such as automatic shut-off in case of overload or tray blockage. In addition, it is fully compatible with special environments such as CO₂ incubators or cold chambers (from -10 to 60°C), making it particularly versatile for cell research.
This high-quality device is certified to CE, RoHS, LVD and EMC standards, guaranteeing its reliability and safety in use. Its simple design, with no need for lubrication or complex maintenance, also contributes to its longevity. It stores the last speed and time settings in its memory even in the event of a power failure, ensuring continuity of experimental protocols.
The VWR Microplate Shaker is available in several versions depending on the type of plug: Euro plug, UK plug or Swiss plug.
The VWR Microplate Shaker is a wise choice for any laboratory looking to optimise its microplate shaking conditions with precise, stable and easy-to-use equipment.
