Grant Instruments has introduced an expanded line of versatile, variable speed, variable temperature thermoshakers for microtubes.
The PHMT thermoshaker product range can accommodate 0.5mL, 1.5mL and 2.0mL size microtubes and is ideal for applications requiring heating and mixing samples.
Each unit is supplied with a heating block for a desired microtube size; however, interchangeable heating blocks for the different size tubes can be purchased separately.
Grant PHMT thermoshakers function as three instruments in one.
They can be used either as a microtube thermoshaker, a compact benchtop incubator without shaking, or a microtube shaker without temperature control.
This multifunctional capability maximises versatility and efficiency.
By combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase, both reaction process times and operator workloads are reduced and sample preparation throughput is increased.
With an operating temperature range of 4-45C, the units are suitable for use in cold rooms as well as incubators.
Grant PHMT thermoshakers are easy to operate and provide a simple setup procedure for temperature, shaking speed, and running time.
They enable continuous or timed operation with an audible alarm and automatic shutoff.
Heating range can be controlled from 5-100C and reproducible shaking speeds from 250-1,400rev/min.
The units are compact with a low profile and small footprint.
Like all Grant equipment the PHMT thermoshakers come with a three-year warranty.
