- Higher throughput is achieved by combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase, which decreases reaction process times and operator workload while increasing the efficiency of many procedures
- The BioShake iQ’s primary functionality is provided by the exquisitely finished aluminum housing. It guarantees a long service life, high levels of security, and device stability
Gentle mixing of samples
By planar orbital motion

- The BioShake iQ thermoshaker, which was developed and produced in Germany, has a 2-dimensional shaking axis that is extremely effective and speeds up sample mixing compared to other systems.
- The mixing orbit of 2.0 mm remains constant at all times. Since the orbital shaking is so carefully managed, users never had to spin down the plates after mixing
- These precise tools can work with anything, including tubes, vials, high-density plates, and small sample volumes
- Fully adjustable between 200 and 3,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), which is much faster than the speeds of the majority of other brands, ensures quick, splatter-free mixing for tubes, glass vials, or across an entire 384-well microplate
Homogeneous heating
Using large-area heating source in combination with digital sensor electronic

- The BioShake iQ quickly heats from room temperature to 99 °C while offering features that make it simple to use, incredibly comfortable, and with maximum safety
- The BioShake iQ integrates the thinnest large-area heating elements and sensors. The unique electronic control system ensures that all vessels are heated to the same temperature during the heat-up period with little variation
- The temperature ranges from room temperature to 99 °C in steps of 1.0 °C. The temperature distribution uniformity across the heating surface is better than ±0.5 °C at 45 °C, and the nominal regulation accuracy is better than ±0.1 °C
- To perfectly adapt to microplates, tubes, or glass vials, exchangeable thermo adapter plates and thermal blocks are available
Universal spring clamps
Suitable for all microplates

- Eight spring clamps are inserted in the corners to make it simple to fix skirted microplates and deep well plates in the SBS format, which is 127.7 × 85.5 mm, without an attached adapter. Even at the highest mixing frequencies, these spring clamps lock the microplate quickly and securely
- Utilizing the appropriate PCR adapter is advised for flexible and deformable PCR plates
- It is simple and safe to perform frequent plate changes and quick mixing procedures routinely
Comfort
Simple intuitive operation and programming

- The front face of the enclosure, which has touch buttons and a display, is used to control the BioShake iQ
- The instrument can run sophisticated applications because it has special buttons for starting, stopping, and storing time and mixing modes. This greatly improves routine application and offers fresh perspectives on daily laboratory work
- The short mix button enables in-between short and quick mixing
- The two-line LCD display ensures that all programmed and measured parameters, such as time, mixing frequency, and temperature, can be read simultaneously and safely
Exchangeable thermos adapters
For a wide range of applications
