3 Introduction to the iEMS ™ Incubator / Shaker HT
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker HT is available as a one-cabinet model, allowing the
capacity of three (3) microplates.
3.1 Intended use
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker HT is a high-quality standalone 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 69°C and a
shaking speed of up to 1400 rpm.
For verification of the entire system, it is recommended 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 HT consists of a keyboard and one incubation
module with three (3) incubation slots. 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 processing 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 HT
The iEMS Incubator/Shaker HT provides several advantages relating mainly to
the principle of operation in that it has:
• Extended temperature range
•
Exceptional temperature uniformity across the plate
• Efficient orbital shaking
• Capacity of up to three (3) microplates
