Incu-Mixer™ MP and Orbi-Shaker™ MP (MicroPlate Shakers) Accessories

Benchmark Incu-Mixer MP Series

The Incu-Mixer MP Series by Benchmark Scientific is an advanced and versatile incubated vortexer designed for mixing samples in microplates, ideal for applications in molecular biology, protein analysis, enzyme reactions, immunoassays, and more. This compact and reliable unit provides simultaneous heating and mixing of microplates, making it perfect for protocols that require temperature-sensitive mixing.

Key Features:

• Optimized for Microplates: The Incu-Mixer MP is designed specifically for incubating and mixing microplates, offering a uniform shaking and heating process. The 2 mm orbital motion ensures thorough mixing without splashing, while the heated lid prevents condensation.
• Dual Heating: The Incu-Mixer MP series features heating from both the bottom surface and the lid, ensuring consistent temperature throughout the microplate and minimizing evaporation. This dual heating process helps maintain sample integrity, especially for temperature-sensitive reactions.
• Compact and Efficient Design: With its compact footprint, the Incu-Mixer MP is perfect for use in laboratories with limited bench space, while still being able to handle microplates up to 46mm high.
• Independent Control: Both temperature and shaking speed are independently controlled, offering precise adjustments to meet the needs of various protocols. The large LCD screen displays the temperature, shaking speed, and time, making it easy to monitor parameters.
• Two Models for Flexibility: Available in two-plate (MP2) and four-plate (MP4) models, the Incu-Mixer MP provides flexibility depending on the throughput needs of the laboratory. The four-plate model includes an increased chamber height to accommodate taller plates, making it ideal for higher volume mixing.
• Versatile Applications: The Incu-Mixer MP series is perfect for a variety of molecular biology applications, such as DNA and protein analysis, enzyme assays, and microarray analysis, by offering accurate mixing and heating in a single, reliable instrument.
