PMR-30 from Biosan Grant: a reliable and quiet rocking shaker for demanding laboratory applications
The PMR-30 from Biosan Grant is a rocking shaker designed to meet the specific needs of modern laboratories for sample preparation and handling. Offering smooth and precise rocking motion, it is ideal for a wide range of applications in molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology.
Thanks to its compact and quiet design, the PMR-30 fits perfectly into confined workspaces while ensuring consistent performance over long periods of time. This model is specifically designed to operate continuously for up to 7 days, making it an ideal choice for experimental protocols requiring prolonged shaking without interruption.
The PMR-30's controlled rocking motion allows for gentle sample handling, preventing potential damage to sensitive structures. It is particularly suitable for mini-gel decolourisation processes after electrophoresis, as well as for successive washes of membranes used in Western blot, Northern blot and Southern blot techniques . These applications require uniform movement to ensure homogeneous distribution of solutions and optimal reproducibility of experimental results.
The PMR-30 is operated via a simple but effective interface. The device is equipped with a digital timer that can be programmed from 1 minute to 24 hours, with the option of continuous operation. The user can easily adjust the speed between 5 and 30 oscillations per minute, depending on the requirements of the experimental protocol.
The removable 200 x 200 mm tray provides sufficient work surface to accommodate different types of containers and can be equipped with an optional rubber mat or honeycomb mat (PDM), preventing tubes from rolling during agitation. This modularity allows the PMR-30 to adapt to various sample formats while ensuring their stability during operation.
The device is powered by a secure external transformer (input 100-240 V AC, output 12 V DC), ensuring low energy consumption (3.8 W) and maximum safety during use. It operates under standard laboratory conditions, at ambient temperatures ranging from +4 °C to +40 °C, with relative humidity up to 80%.
It complies with the most stringent safety standards and is easy to maintain thanks to its design, which is easy to clean and decontaminate with standard solutions such as 75% ethanol.
The Biosan Grant PMR-30 is a robust, accurate and quiet tool, perfectly suited to the needs of laboratories looking for a reliable rocking shaker for sensitive and prolonged applications.
