Description
The Boekel Scientific Jitterbug 4 heated microplate shakers are ideal for immunoassays like ELISA, PCR and other research procedures requiring heating and mixing of microplates. Equipped with a heated lid to provide greater uniformity and prevent condensation. Independently control set temperature, mixing speed and mixing duration.
The JITTERBUG-2 and JITTERBUG-4 are designed for shaking a special platform of two standard 96-well immunoplates, and controlling the set temperature in the range of 25°C to 60°C (if the room temperature (RT) is less than 25°C).
The main features of JITTERBUG-2 and JITTERBUG-4 are:
A. Additional heating source, in the lid of the device, which allows:
- faster heat-up times
- increase of temperature range.
B. Compact size.
C. Informative liquid crystal display, which allows instant control over both set and current temperatures of the aluminum block, as well as the shaking intensity and duration. This unit was designed using the multi-system principle, which allows use as three independent devices:
A. Incubator - for lasting incubation without shaking of micro quantities (insect, plant cell cultures, etc.) in immunoplates;
B. Immunoplate Shaker - for operation in the cold room or other conditions, which do not require temperature stabilization;
C. Heating-Shaking - for immunochemistry and molecular diagnostics, where stringent requirements of reproducibility and precision are necessary.
An external 12V power supply unit is used to power the device. This makes it safe for use in the cold room, where condensation may cause leakage current from the mains. The device can be used in:
- cytochemistry - for in situ reactions.
- immunochemistry - for immunofermentative reactions.
- biochemistry - for enzyme and protein analysis.
- molecular chemistry - for matrix analysis.
