BioShake - a scientific innovation for laboratories

Compact and stylishly designed, the BioShake iQ high-end thermoshaker lets you perform all your standard runs with minimum adjustments and offers outstanding performance to handle a wide range of applications across biotechnology, pharmaceutical and academic research.

Combining the mixing operation with the incubation phase reduces reaction process times and operator workload and increases the efficiency of many procedures, resulting in higher throughput.

The microplate thermoshaker

The first-class finished aluminium housing gives the BioShake iQ its essential functionality.
Designed for daily use, it provides high security and device stability and ensures a long service life.

Gentle mixing of samples by planar orbital motion

German-designed and manufactured, BioShake iQ thermoshaker offers an ultra-efficient, 2-dimensional shaking axis so that samples mix completely in a fraction of the time of competing systems. The mixing orbit of 2.0 mm is always constant. The orbital shaking is precisely controlled, so you need never spin down your plates after mixing. Even tubes, vials, high-density plates, or low sample volumes offer no obstacle for these precision tools.

Fully adjustable between 200 rpm and 3,000 rpm, well beyond the speeds of most other brands, it guarantees fast, splatter-free mixing for tubes, glass vials or across an entire 384-well microplate.

Homogeneous and accurate temperature control

Within the BioShake iQ, the thinnest, large-area heating elements and sensors are integrated. The heat output of 75 W can be adjusted seamlessly from room temperature to 99°C. The equipment is equipped with a new and highly reliable electronic temperature control that ensures optimal sample warming. During the heat-up time, the unique electronic control system provides a consistent temperature for all vessels with minimal deviations.

Precisely machined adapter plates enable individual adaptation to the sample holder used.
