TriNEST™ microplate incubator shaker TriNEST™ Incubator Shaker High quality instrument for high precision results The 1296-0050 TriNEST™ microplate incubator shaker from PerkinElmer is a high quality device for processing assays on standard-height microplates. Advanced electronic and mechanical design provides the technical excellence you need in order to obtain quality results in either clinical or research assays. Compact, versatile solution for plate-based assays TriNEST can accommodate three plates simultaneously, and with its footprint requires only 388 x 310 mm of laboratory bench space. You can also stack up to three units to give a nine-plate capacity for the same footprint. The instrument is easy to use, with its own keypad and display. Up to 20 incubating and shaking programs can be stored, in which temperature, shaking speed and time are specified. Interval shaking is also supported. You can specify incubation temperatures from 3°C above ambient to 70°C, a very wide temperature range, making the device suitable for most plate-based assays. Controlled incubation and orbital shaking to assure results quality To assure highly repeatable results, temperature is accurate to 0.5°C and temperature uniformity across the plate is good, with variation under 0.6°C. For assays requiring simultaneous shaking, the orbital shaker provides an amplitude range from 400 to 1200 rpm, with shaking precision ± 2%. Designed for long lifetime and low maintenance TriNEST has been designed to provide excellent service with materials such as Teflon and acid proof steel to reduce the risk of corrosion. As well as helping to assure a longer lifetime, careful use of materials maximizes the period between maintenance calls.
