Overview
QInstruments provides high-precision adapter plates for all BioShake, ColdPlate, and HeatPlate units to ensure a perfect fit for all common tubes, vials, microplates, and other disposables. The adapter plates are designed to maximize uniformity across all wells, excellent heat transfer to the disposables, and heat-up or cool-down times.
Within one minute, it is very simple to swap out adapter plates. Any adapters that are mounted on the instrument will be automatically detected. The properties of an adapter are determined by the category to which it is assigned. The display shows all pending information and indications.
