Analytik Jena
Analytik Jena's BioShake thermal mixer can now be applied with even more versatility in sample preparation, thanks to a specific adapter block developed for the 96-well, 0.8 ml ABgene storage plate. This plate is used as the co-called MIDI plate with illumina kits for next-generation sequencing (NGS).
The new BioShake adapter, made of aluminium, allows precise heating and smooth mixing of the plate at 1,800 rpm. The high-frequency shaker automatically detects the adapter. Rates up to 3,000 rpm and heating up to 99 °C are programmed via the keypad. Additionally, a Short-Mix function and short programmes can be started.
In addition to the existing adapters for tubes from 0.2 to 4 ml, micro titre and deep well plates and conical 5 ml, 15 ml or 50 ml tubes, the new adapter expands the applications range of this compact thermal shaker.
