MB100-2A Thermo Shaker Incubator
The MB100-2A is designed for shaking 1-2 standard 96 well plates in the thermostat mode with incubation and shaking functions. A distinctive feature for the MB100-2A is the two-side heating of microtest plates that allows achieving exact correspondence of the set and actual temperature in the wells of the microtest plates. Key features: LCD display. It is easy to set up and use. Heating plates above and below the mi…

This is a heater/shaker for two micro-plates. It can maintain temperature from room temperature +5C to 70C and shake from 0 to 1200 rpm. It is very useful for doing kinetic studies, growing crystals, doing cultures, and alike. On the outside it is a cheapy-looking dull box, but it does work and works well. Temperature control was not bang-on (off by 0.2C) but this can be easily corrected by a calibration table if you need more precise control. The temperature fluctuation was minimal due to micro-processor (PID?) control. Shaking mechanism is smooth and quiet. We have had it running at 600 rpm for months at a time and it handled without a problem. The internal space is designed for two standard tissue-culture plates, with nice spring clips. We also fixed two dozen HPLC vials with tape and rubber bands on the platform and it worked. Overall this is a very good unit, and the cost is only a fraction of what you would get from vendors like VWR. Highly recommended.

Key features:
- LCD display. It is easy to set up and use.
- Heating plates above and below the microplates.
- Incubation up to 70°C in 0.1°C steps.
- Shakes and incubates two or four microplates simultaneously.
- Beep-signal and stop of shaking motion after program completion.
- Excellent temperature accuracy and uniformity across the plate.
- Exact correspondence of the designed and actual temperature.
