The remote-controlled TELESHAKE 1536-6 (Figure 1) and TELESHAKE
1536-8 (Figure 2) magnetic shakers consist of a drive block (5) with a
1
shaker platform (4) for a 1536 microtiter plate (MTP
) (1). The magnetic
shaker is also suitable for 384 microtiter plates.
The four corners of the shaker platform (4) feature fixating elements (3) to
keep microtiter plates (1) in place.
TELESHAKE 1536-6: three movable and three stationary fixating
elements,
TELESHAKE 1536-8: four movable and four stationary fixating elements.
The movable fixating elements (3) anchor the microtiter plate by using
spring pressure. They can be opened electromechanically in order to insert
or remove the microtiter plate. The opening and locking process is
executed via a high-precision mechanic system.
The magnetic shaker TELESHAKE 1536 LIFT (Figure 3) is additionally
equipped with eight lifting pins (2) that lift up the microtiter plate about
8 mm when the shaking process of the microtiter plate has been finished
and the fixating elements (3) have been opened. This is necessary for
some robot stations. The robot gripper can then handle the microtiter plates
with operational reliability.
The magnetic shaker is to be firmly mounted in place (e.g. on the
laboratory workbench, robot station). For this purpose, the drive block (5) is
equipped with mounting holes (6) in both long sides. The bottom also
features cable ducts allowing you to run the control line (7) to the control
unit (12) while keeping it protected and free of kinks.
The control unit (12) serves as a power supply and control unit for the
magnetic shaker. The control line (7) of the magnetic shaker is connected
to the control line connector (8) of the control unit (12).
The shaking frequency can be continuously adjusted using the frequency
selection knob (11).
Setting range: 5,500 to 7,000 rpm.
