The SS:5 series of high-speed microtitre plate shaker are designed for the mixing of microtitre plates and microcentrifuge tubes. High speed combined with a tiny orbit creates a vigorous shaking action required for mixing small volumes contained within well plates and microcentrifuge tubes. Supplied with a highly effective non-slip mat, the mat will securely hold in place up to four microtitre plates.
Speed is variable from 250 to 1,250 rpm and is easily set via the digital display in 10rpm increments. The built-in digital timer can be either set from 1 second to 90 minutes, 1 minute to 9 hours or in minutes only mode up to 9999 minutes for maximum versatility. The units can also be set for continuous operation.
A choice of three accessory tube holders is available, designed to accommodate 1.5ml, 0.5ml and 0.2ml microcentrifuge tubes. Two tube holders can be used at any one time and are securely held in place by the non slip mat, turning the unit into an effective microtube mixer.
For samples requiring controlled temperature and/or humidity conditions, the SSM5 small footprint is ideal for placement inside CO2 incubators.
BioCote anti-microbial coating additive is present on all Stuart brand equipment and offers anti-microbial action to help prevent cross-contamination.
This unique additive is applied during the manufacturing process and contains trace levels of active silver ions which provide an effective anti-microbial action, active against many strains of common bacteria and fungi, including Aspergillus niger, E.coli and Listeria mono.
This coating remains active for the entire product lifespan and can actually help in prolonging the life of products, where a build up of microbes may cause premature material degradation.
BioCote works by inhibiting bacteria in a number of ways including protein damage, cell membrane damage, oxidative damage and DNA interference. Ultimately, the bacteria are prevented from replicating. Without this, bacteria have been shown to die naturally within around 8 hours. BioCote works in a way different to antibiotics so it is currently effective against antibiotic resistant strains.
More recently, BioCote technology was proven effective against particular virus strains, with a reduction of 90% in 2 hours against feline coronavirus, strain Munich. Read more here.
