Benchmark Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP All Environment Shaker for Microplates

• Designed for use in CO2 incubators and other extreme environments
• Remote controlled, adjust settings without exposing chamber
• 3 mm orbit for thorough mixing of well plates
• Includes 6 position microplate platform

The Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP is designed for thorough mixing of microplates in extreme environments such as CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 4° to 65°C and humidity levels up to 100%.

To extend the lifetime of the shaker, all the electronics are in a remote-control module that is placed outside the chamber. This has the added advantage of adjusting the shaker speed and time without opening the chamber door and disturbing the interior environment. The controller's thin, flat cord will not interfere with the door seal and the unit can magnetically mount to the outer housing of the incubator. A 6 position microplate platform is included and secures both standard or deep well plates.

A small footprint, compact, stackable design and expanded temperature range make the 211DS incubators ideal for molecular biology and general use. Its integral orbital shaker makes it highly versatile.

MIDSCI's exclusive SmartChek temperature control system guarantees precise temperature control. Mechanical convection maintains a stable temperature environment and provides quick recovery after opening the door. A safety thermostat is located on the back of the unit. The insulated door has a large, double glass observation panel and opens nearly 180° for easy access.

Two full and one half shelf are supplied with each incubator. A flat platform and predrilled flask platform (clamps sold separately) are available for the 211DS.

Internal electrical outlet allows using small equipment such as GyroMini or Mini LabRoller Rotator inside the chamber of the 211DS. 

• Precise liquid temperatures and stirring speeds
• Digital display and safety indicators
• Angled front panel and large control knobs
  

AccuPlate™ digital hot plates and stirrers are powerful, versatile and easy to use. Every unit is built for consistent performance and long-term reliability. With three models to choose from, there is an AccuPlate™ hot plate and stirrer to meet your lab's needs.

Ceramic Durability and Resistance

Each AccuPlate™ is equipped with a Pyroceram® ceramic top plate that is extremely durable, easy to clean and is highly resistant to chemical attack. In addition, the ceramic plates can reach higher temperatures (rated to 550°C) than metal topped units and the white color makes it easy to view color changes in applications such as titrations. The AccuPlate™ Hotplate and Hotplate Stirrer models incorporate a powerful heating element positioned directly beneath the ceramic top plate. This provides optimal heat transfer to the plate and sample while minimizing heat transfer to the electronics and housing.

Acceleration Regulation

The Stirrer and Hotplate Stirrer utilize a powerful motor drive system paired with strong permanent magnets to ensure a consistent connection to the stir bar. The control software is designed to minimize stir bar decoupling by regulating the acceleration rate of the motor. The durable cast aluminum housing and angled faceplate protect the electronics in the event of an accidental spill. The Hotplate and Hotplate Stirrer models also feature a bright red "Hot Top" indicator to alert users that the ceramic top is too hot to touch - even if the heater is off, the light will remain on until the top has cooled to a safe temperature.

* Temperature range using the External Temperature Controller is 5° to 200°C (41° to 392°F) 

PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer

• Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50 mL
• Pressure activated operation
• "Mini sized", less than 4 inches wide

Powerful is the best word to describe the PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer. With a 4 mm orbit and fixed speed of 2,800 rpm, it instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 mL tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Mini Vortexer has a footprint of less than 4 x 4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded lab bench.

Pressure activated operation means that is the motor is automatically activated with slight pressure on the center cup head. Operation is smooth, quiet, and efficient. When pressure is removed operation immediately ceases. The unique design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life.
