TS-100C, Thermo-Shaker with cooling for microtubes and PCR plates

 

Thermo–Shaker TS-100C provides intensive mixing and temperature control of samples in microtest tubes or PCR plate. This model of Thermo–Shaker differs from TS-100 with a possibility of cooling samples down to +4°C. Features of TS-100C meet the highest expectations of users according to many parameters:

  1. Fast reaching of specified mixing speed and maintenance of equal amplitude of rotation throughout the Thermo–Shaker block;
  2. Stability of maintaining the preset temperature in a wide range throughout the Thermo–Shaker’s block surface;
  3. LCD display indicates preset and current values of temperature, speed and time of operation;
  4. Quiet motor operation, compact size, prolonged service life.

Functions of heating and mixing can be performed both simultaneously and independently.

There are five heating and cooling blocks available, including a block with a plastic lid for the PCR-plates. All blocks are mutually interchangeable and can be easily installed on Thermo–Shaker.

The instrument is applicable in:

  • Genetic analysis — in extraction of DNA, RNA and further sample preparation;
  • Biochemical study of enzymatic reactions and processes;
  • Extraction of metabolites from cellular material.

Temperature Calibration Function
With the help of the temperature calibration function the user can calibrate the unit approx. ±6% of the selected temperature to compensate differences in the thermal behaviour of tubes from different manufacturers.
