COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE Ultimate thermal and shaking control
Ultimate thermal and shaking control
The modules enable you to integrate heating, cooling and shaking steps into your automated workflow, reducing manual intervention for longer walk-away times and greater lab productivity. They provide precise and uniform temperature control across a large temperature range, and quiet and efficient orbital shaking, supporting assay reproducibility and accurate results.
How it works
Extend automation into heating, cooling and shaking protocols to enhance operational standards and maximize lab throughput.
-
Overview
COLDPLATE offers precise and uniform temperature control from 0-99 °C, and BIOSHAKE offers precise shaking up to 3000 rpm. The BIOSHAKE 3000-T combines this capability with accurate heating.
-
Reliable high performance
The modules offer dependable operation over extended periods, making them suitable for demanding laboratory tasks and giving researchers confidence in the accuracy of their results.
-
Compact and robust design
These robust modules boast compact footprints that require minimal floor area in the laboratory and do not need an external control unit.
-
Integration with INTEGRA's pipetting platforms
The modules can be programmed with VIALAB pipette automation software for use on the ASSIST PLUS, using the connection cable provided. VIALAB offers predefined temperature and shaking steps, simplifying the programming process for users and enabling convenient control. Corresponding cables and footprint adapter are provided with each unit. Effortlessly manage modules loaded onto VIAFLO 96 or VIAFLO 384 instruments via your PC, with the user-friendly software interface HCS Control.
-
Labware flexibility
Adapters accommodate different labware formats and samples, offering versatility for multiple different applications in the laboratory
-
Sustainability through longevity and plastic reduction
The longer you can use a device, the better it is for the planet. At INTEGRA, we design our products to ensure low wear and easy serviceability. Moreover, we offer consumable solutions that are low in plastic, for both reservoirs and pipette tips.
