Boekel Scientific 130000 Jitterbug Variable Speed Heated Microplate Incubator Shaker, 1500 RPM

The Boekel Scientific 130000 Jitterbug is a benchtop incubator microplate shaker engineered for precise temperature-controlled agitation, critical in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows such as ELISA and PCR assays. It features a chamber-in-chamber design for enhanced thermal stability, ensuring temperature uniformity better than 0.4°C with an inner lid to reduce contamination risks.

• Temperature range: Ambient to 40°C with 0.1°C resolution
• Speed range: 575 to 1500 rpm with an approximately 1mm orbital radius, driven by a rotating counterweight mechanism
• Capacity: Accommodates two standard 96, 384, or 536 well microplates, supporting high-throughput sample processing in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research
• Control Features: Independent setting of temperature, shaking speed, and duration (timer range from 1 second up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) enabling precise experimental conditions
• Operation: Quiet dynamics reduce biohazard exposure and sample disturbance, with typical warm-up time around 15 minutes
• Additional Functionality: Pulse operation mode at 1500 rpm for 3 seconds enhances sample mixing protocols
• Design and Build: Compact footprint (approx. 3.81 kg) allows integration into laboratory setups focused on cell imaging, molecular cloning, and biomanufacturing processes

This incubator shaker is well-suited for applications requiring uniform heating and agitation, making it an essential tool in molecular diagnostics, molecular biology research, and clinical diagnostics laboratories. The equipment supports reliable microplate handling critical in complex biotechnological applications and is designed and manufactured in the United States.
