Boekel Scientific 130000 THE JITTERBUG Heated Microplate Shaker, 575-1500 RPM, Ambient to 40°C

The Boekel Scientific 130000 THE JITTERBUG is a precision heated microplate shaker designed for critical laboratory applications such as Immunoassays (ELISA) and PCR workflows that require concurrent heating and mixing of microplates. This incubator shaker supports key biotechnology and molecular diagnostics processes by allowing independent adjustment of temperature, shaking speed, and time.

Key features and technical specifications include:

• Temperature control: Ambient to 40°C with 0.1°C resolution and temperature uniformity better than 0.4°C, optimizing conditions for sensitive biochemical reactions.
• Shaking speed: Adjustable from 575 to 1500 RPM across 8 mixing speeds, providing a smooth 1mm orbit suitable for standardized microplate formats including 96, 384, and 536 wells.
• Capacity: Accommodates two standard microplates simultaneously using a chamber-in-chamber design for enhanced stability and reduced cross-contamination risk via an inner lid.
• Timer: Programmable timer from 1 second up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, enabling precise incubation protocols.
• Operation: Quiet, robust motor optimized for noise-sensitive laboratory environments with fast warm-up time (~15 minutes) to accelerate bioprocessing workflows.
• Physical specs: Weighs 3.81 kg (8.4 pounds), compact benchtop size suitable for clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and cell biology labs.

This microplate incubator shaker is essential for researchers specializing in molecular biology, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology, offering reliable performance in gene editing, biomanufacturing, and molecular cloning workflows. Its combination of precise temperature control and versatile shaking capabilities make it a crucial instrument in both research and clinical laboratory settings for enhancing assay reproducibility and throughput.
