3 Introduction to the iEMS Incubator / Shaker
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker consists of three modules, each module having a
capacity of three (3) microplates at a time.
3.1 Intended
use
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker is a high-quality stand-alone microplate incubator
and orbital shaker intended for laboratory research use by professional
personnel. The instrument is used to incubate and shake microplates that meet
the SBS standards with a temperature of up to 40°C and a shaking speed of up
to 1400 rpm.
For verification of the entire system, it is recommended that Good Laboratory
Practices (GLP) be followed to guarantee reliable analyses.
Use for self-testing is excluded.
3.2 Principle
of
operation
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker consists of a keyboard and three (3) incubation
modules. Each module has three incubation slots for microplates. All slots can
be used for processing microplates individually within certain limitations. A
control LED above each slot indicates the status of that slot.
The keyboard is used to enter incubating and shaking parameters and to start
thus programmed protocols. These protocols can be the same for all slots or
entered individually for each slot. The parameters are stored in the instrument
memory until new parameters are entered. It is possible to change the
parameters of one slot without affecting the parameters of the other slots.
In one module, all slots have the same incubation temperature and they shake
at the same speed. The slots should be preheated to the programmed target
temperature before protocols are started.
3.3 Advantages of using iEMS Incubator / Shaker
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker provides several advantages relating mainly to the
principle of operation in that it has:
•
Exceptional temperature uniformity across the plate
•
Efficient orbital shaking
•
Capacity of up to nine (9) microplates
