Microtitre Plate Shaker Incubator, SI505
Ideal shaking action for microtitre plates
Combined Incubator shaker
Optimised performance to minimize sample evaporation
Digital display for temperature and speed
Integrated timer
Retractable platform for easy loading and unloading
The SI505 has been designed specifically to combine a bench top laboratoryincubator with the specific mixing action required for microtitre plates.
Shaking is ideal for mixing microtitre plates, combining a high speed actionbetween 250 and 1250rpm with a tight orbit of 1.5mm. This enables even thesmallest of vessels to adequately mix, be it well plates or microtubes. TheSI505 has independent control of speed and temperature to avoid accidentaltemperature adjustment. Speed is microprocessor controller and set via thedigital LED control panel. The unit also incorporates a versatile timer, whichcan be set from 1 second to 9 days, once the timer has run down, an alarm willsound and the shaking action will cease, for safety reasons the incubator willcontinue to run.
The temperature of the incubator can be set, via the digital LED controlpanel, between ambient temperature +7oC and 60oC. Careful control of the airdistribution within the incubator ensures temperature uniformity throughoutthe sample chamber. To minimize sample evaporation the SI505 is supplied withstainless steel water trays, these are strategically placed within the unit tomaintain a humidity of up to 80%, thus dramatically reducing sampleevaporation over a 24 hour period.
The SI505’s stainless steel platform is retractable, this allows easier accessto samples at the back of the incubator. During operation the platform issecurely locked in place, but can be easily released when required. Theplatform will comfortably and securely accommodate up to four microtitreplates on the non slip mat. Or sample tube racks are available which willaccommodate all common tube sizes.
The SI505 also features a USB connection which allows the incubator to beconnected to a PC for long term monitoring of the incubator temperature, overnight of weekends for example.
