The remote-controlled magnetic shaker TELESHAKE 1536 (-6, -8, LIFT) is
designed for shaking liquids in 1536 microtiter plates (1). The magnetic
shaker can be installed onto robot stations without any difficulties thanks to
its flat design.
To do so, it is necessary to mount the magnetic shaker in a fixed position in
a precisely specified location. This can be effected by using the four
mounting holes (6) in the long sides of the drive block (5) from above.
The 1536 microtiter plate (1) is placed on the shaker platform (4) of the
magnetic shaker. The liquid to be shaken is introduced into the microtiter
wells.
To shake the low liquid volumes inside the 1536 microtiter plates (1)
efficiently, very high shaking frequencies are required. In case of the
TELESHAKE 1536 (-6, -8, LIFT), the shaking frequency lies within the
resonance frequency range of the mass system: shaker platform (4) +
microtiter plate (1) + liquid. This means that in this case the energy
transmission is very efficient. The liquid is mixed in fractions of a second.
Thanks to the inductive drive, it is possible to generate high shaking
frequencies and short running times in a precise and reproducible manner.
The shaker platform (4) starts and stops at the auto-positioning centric zero
position, i.e. that no expensive electrical repositioning mechanism is
needed. This feature ensures safe performance even during unsupervised
continuous operation.
