Accessories increase the flexibility of shakers by offering 96-well plate holding devices to attach to universal trays, low wear adhesive tape and incubation hoods
Sartorius BBI Certomat laboratory shakers are synonymous with the highest quality in laboratory equipment, says the company.
The new accessories launched by Sartorius increase the flexibility of both the new and existing Certomat shakers by offering 96-well plate holding devices to attach to universal trays, low wear adhesive tape and incubation hoods.
The new 96-well plate holding devices for shaker trays 420x420mm hold a maximum of 12 holders with standard plates, and nine holders with deepwell plates.
For shaker tray sizes 800x420mm, 21 holders for standard plates can be attached to the shakers tray and 18 holders with deepwell plates.
These devices maximise space and reduce sample preparation time that can be better spent with more intricate procedures.
Low wear adhesive tape for universal trays is also now available.
In 10m rolls, this premium tape is idea for attaching the new 96-well plate holding devices to the shaker tray as well as other flasks, bottles and holding devices.
The new low wear characteristic ensures a secure mount with minimal replacement costs.
With summer fast approaching, temperature control within the laboratory becomes difficult to manage. Incubation hoods Certomat HK (cooling and heating) and Certomat H (heating) can be combined with all the Certomat bench top shakers.
In microbiology, these bench top hood can allow bacteria and yeast cells to growth in a temperature-controlled environment from 5C above ambient up to +60C.
As a result it is also ideally suited for the temperature range most commonly used in most biology laboratories working with microorganisms.
The Certomat HK incubation hood has the option of an integrated cooling system that can lower ambient temperature below 10C.
Molecular biologist have also noted the usefulness of Certomat hoods as they expand their cultures beyond the petri dish size.
Orbital bench top shakers from Sartorius include the Certomat Sll, Certomat MOll and Certomat R.
The Certomat Sll offers more features with two shaking amplitudes and digital control for microorganism cultivation or shaking separatory funnels.
The Sartorius magnetic drive bench top shaker, Certomat R, designed for all laboratory shaking requirements is silent running and durable which reduces wear and tear service costs.
For more basic needs a Certomat MOll will do the job.
All Certomat shakers have the option of combining either a tray with fixed clamps or a flexible universal tray that can accommodate a variety of fixings.
