OHAUS high-speed microplate shaker SHHSMPDG

OHAUS SHHSMPDG high-speed microplate shaker

The OHAUS SHHSMPDG high-speed microplate shaker is ideal for demanding mixing tasks in modern laboratory environments. Whether it's cell lysis, emulsification or the precise mixing of microplates - with this robust device, users benefit from high reliability, consistent results and user-friendly operation. This shaker sets standards, particularly in terms of speed range and timer functions, so that laboratory efficiency and reproducibility of experiments can be significantly increased.

Design and central functions

This device is specially designed for high-speed shaking of up to 48 microplates and enables optimised sample processing sequences. The compact design with a sturdy die-cast aluminium housing guarantees a long service life and minimises disruptive vibrations at high speeds. Thanks to the digital control, all parameters can be set precisely and adjusted effortlessly during operation.

Essential technical data at a glance:
- Orbital movement: 3.6 mm
- Capacity: 48 microplates
- Speed range: 600 to 2500 rpm
- Timer: 1 second to 160 hours
- Pulse function: intervals from 1 to 59 seconds
- Control: Digital (touchpad with separate LED displays)
- Safety certification: cULus

The programmability of the timer allows either a reverse countdown with automatic switch-off or continuous operation in which the total elapsed time is recorded. In this way, protocols can be ideally tracked and exactly repeated. The pulse function, which can be used to define short shaking intervals, is also a big plus. This intermittent mode of operation protects temperature-sensitive samples, prevents overheating and ensures thorough mixing, even with materials that are difficult to process. In addition, deep-well plates and tubes up to a height of 12.7 cm can be safely accommodated.

The generously dimensioned holding tray (311 x 279 mm) adapts to different plate formats, while an adjustable lid ensures reliable fixation. With a maximum sample weight of up to 3.2 kg, the device can be used in many high-throughput applications. Whether in research, pharmaceutical development or diagnostics - the high speed in combination with the robust mechanics allows process optimisation in a wide range of fields of work.

Certifications and standards

Thanks to cULus certification, the model fulfils all the necessary safety and quality guidelines for use in laboratories, institutes and industrial environments. Adherence to all relevant standards ensures maximum reliability and compliance. Users benefit not only from permanently stable performance, but also from safe device operation in accordance with international standards.

Application examples

- Cell lysis in molecular biology: cell structures can be broken up at high speeds and DNA or protein isolates can be obtained efficiently.
- Emulsification in food or cosmetics research: liquids and emulsions are mixed evenly to achieve homogeneous results.

- Processing deep-well plates in pharmaceutical research: The device supports accelerated test processing for numerous samples and high throughput.
- Mixing reagents and buffer solutions: The variable timer setting allows reliable and reproducible processes in the preparation of buffer and test solutions.

FAQs

Can the shaker run in continuous operation?

Yes. In continuous operation, the accumulated time is recorded until it is switched off manually.

How does the pulse function work?

It can be switched on and off between 1 and 59 seconds so that time-limited intervals can be run without overheating or damaging samples.

Is the speed freely adjustable at any time?

The speed can be infinitely adjusted between 600 and 2500 rpm and precisely controlled via the digital touchpad.

What type of discs can be used

In addition to standard microplates, deep-well plates and tubes with a height of up to 12.7 cm and a maximum weight of 3.2 kg can also be securely fixed.
