Grant Bio PMS-1000i: versatile and high-performance microplate shaker
The Grant Bio PMS-1000i is a compact shaker designed for the efficient and homogeneous mixing of microplates in biotechnology, medical and microbiology laboratories. This model is specially developed to meet the needs of researchers and technicians working on applications requiring precise shaking, such as immunodiagnostics, incubation and the culture of biological or chemical liquids. Thanks to its direct drive mechanism and brushless motor, the PMS-1000i guarantees optimal reliability and a long service life, enabling extended work cycles without interruption, up to 168 hours in continuous mode.
Its 2 mm orbital movement ensures uniform distribution of mixing energy across the entire platform surface, which is essential for achieving reproducible results even at low rotation speeds. The adjustable speed range between 150 and 1200 rpm allows the mixing intensity to be precisely adapted to the specific requirements of the samples, whether delicate suspensions or liquids requiring more vigorous mixing. The PMS-1000i is designed to accommodate two standard microplates with the MPP-2 platform or up to four microplates by adding the optional MPP-4 accessory, thereby increasing productivity and handling efficiency.
The PMS-1000i's intuitive control panel provides a clear interface for easily adjusting the speed and duration of agitation. The digital display shows the rotation speed and time remaining in real time, ensuring precise control throughout the process. The automatic stop function when the programmed time is reached adds extra safety and reduces the need for manual intervention. For experiments requiring extended cycles, the non-stop mode is ideal, as it allows the shaker to operate continuously for several days, which is particularly useful for complex protocols.
The compact and lightweight design of the PMS-1000i allows it to fit easily into working environments, even when bench space is limited. Its small dimensions (220 x 205 x 90 mm) and weight of only 2 kg make it easy to move and install. The device is designed for indoor use in standard laboratory conditions, with an ambient temperature range of +4 °C to +40 °C and a maximum relative humidity of 80%. Its robust construction and ease of maintenance make it an ideal choice for everyday use.
This microplate mixer is a reliable and practical solution for all tasks requiring controlled and reproducible shaking.
