COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE modules
Manufacturer: INTEGRA Biosciences
SKU: COLDPLATE / BIOSHAKE
Description
INTEGRA Biosciences manufactures the COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE modules as functional add-ons for automated liquid handling workstations. The COLDPLATE module provides active cooling, a function critical for maintaining reagents like PCR master mixes at stable, low temperatures during setup to improve assay reliability. The BIOSHAKE modules offer orbital shaking with adjustable speeds from 200 to 3000 rpm, ensuring thorough mixing of samples in microplates. The product line includes the BIOSHAKE 3000 for shaking and the BIOSHAKE 3000-T, which combines shaking with heating for temperature-controlled agitation useful in enzymatic reactions. The COLDPLATE unit has dimensions of 142 x 99 x 79 mm, while the BIOSHAKE 3000 measures 142 x 99 x 48.2 mm and the BIOSHAKE 3000-T is 142 x 99 x 61.6 mm. Integrating these modules into an automated system reduces manual intervention, increases walk-away time, and promotes reproducibility through consistent temperature management and mixing.
