Microplate Shakers move plates in a small, fast orbit so each well mixes evenly. Steady mixing speeds up antibody binding, washing and dissolution in plate-based assays. Speeds run from 200 to 2800 rpm on orbits of 3 to 9 mm. Platforms hold 1 to 6 plates, including standard, deep well and cell culture types. The plate shaker range handles 24, 48, 96 and 384 well formats. Heated models warm plates up to 100 degrees C. Temperature holds within 0.5 degrees C, so 37 degree C binding steps run right on the shaker. Timers run from 1 minute to 99 hours. Typical uses include ELISA, immunoassays, high-throughput screening, cell culture and drug discovery.
