Key benefits
If the filled deep well plate has a weight of over 200 g, the usage of BioShake 3000 elm DWP is suggested. The improved mass balance elements and combined silicone pads in opposite corners decrease noise and vibration considerably at the time of the quick mixing of fully loaded microtiter plates. This deep well plate shaker offers amazing ease and utmost safety.

Advanced technology
If the filled deep well microtiter plate consists of a weight of more than 200 g, the use of BioShake 3000 elm DWP is suggested. The improved mass balance elements and combined silicone pads in opposite corners decrease noise and vibration considerably during the quick mixing of fully loaded microtiter plates.
The BioShake 3000 elm DWP plate mixer offers high-speed mixing action for the majority of robotics applications. The module is rather bigger compared to a standard microplate and has patented vibration-free shaking.
In this context, users can be amazed that the BioShake 3000 elm DWP could blend samples in an extensive range of microplates up to 96 well formats. Completely adjustable between 200 rpm and 3,000 rpm, far beyond the speeds of the majority of the other brands, ensures quick, splatter-free, and blending for all microplates.
It is fully equipped for handless operation with a wide remote command set for simple software integration. The combined microelectronics ensures that no other external components and control devices are essential.
Integration in robots
The BioShake could function through the RS232 user interface. An automatic initialization will begin after turn on. An easy command set enables users to easily regulate sensors and hardware.
The process parameters are regulated and read out. A shaker plate’s self-setting zero position after turning off makes the laborious electrical tracking unessential. Also, this guarantees the utmost operating security in the untracked continuous operation.
Ideal use for deep well plates up to 2.5 ml well volume
The BioShake 3000 elm DWP has been developed solely for the mixing of 96-well Deep Well Microplates. Particularly in HTS applications with frequent and automatic plate changes offers the BioShake 3000 elm DWP safe and matchless advantages.
Gentle mixing of samples by planar orbital motion
German-designed and manufactured, BioShake 3000 elm DWP plate mixer provides an ultra-efficient, 2-dimensional shaking axis so that samples mix entirely in a fraction of the time of rival systems.
The mixing orbit of 2.0 mm seems to be frequently constant. The orbital shaking has been accurately regulated so that users never have to spin down their plates following mixing. Even deep well plates or low sample volumes provide no hindrance for such accuracy tools.
Sensor-controlled zero-positioning
In time-adjustable stopping operations, a specified zero position has been extended in an automatic manner and locked with a precision of 0.1 mm. An integrated sensor tracks the zero position and its precision.
This guarantees and streamlines the loading and removal processes and enables precise pipetting.
Edge locking mechanism (elm)—A scientific innovation for automatic positioning
Several robotic applications need accurate dimensional spacing of pipet tips and robotic grippers compared to a microplate. The Edge Locking Mechanism (elm) is the full answer for repeatable and precise positioning of microplates on a robotic deck. It comprises 2 × 2 stainless steel pins and a 2-point electromechanical mechanism to lock down microplates in the same manner as the module’s center.
For the gripping of microplates, the ELM helps open the clamping in an automatic manner. This so-called “universal” design seems to be ideal for all kinds of plates: ranging from low profile to deep-well; from 96- to 1536-well. And also, when “locked” into place, the microplate changes by as little as +/−0.1 mm making exacting manipulations a breeze.
Stylish aluminum housing
The outstanding finished aluminum housing provides the BioShake 3000 elm DWP with its necessary functionality. It offers a high amount of device stability, safety, and guarantees a long service life.
