Boekel Scientific 130000 Jitterbug Heated Microplate Shaker for ELISA and PCR Applications

The Boekel Scientific 130000 Jitterbug is a precision heated microplate shaker designed for molecular diagnostics and biotechnology laboratories requiring controlled incubation and agitation. It accommodates two standard microplates or strip trays, providing excellent thermal stability via a chamber-in-chamber design essential for consistent assay conditions in *immunoassays* such as ELISA and PCR protocols.

• Temperature control: ambient to 40°C with 0.1°C resolution and uniformity better than 0.4°C, vital for sensitive bioprocessing and molecular biology assays
• Mixing speeds: 8 selectable speeds ranging from 575 to 1500 rpm with a 1mm orbit for uniform mixing and agitation, critical in synthetic biology and gene editing workflows
• Operation: Features a rotating counterweight mechanism ensuring smooth and quiet operation minimizing vibration impact on sensitive samples
• Timer: Adjustable from 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds for precise incubation periods used in molecular cloning and biopharmaceutical production processes
• Contamination control: Inner lid reduces biohazard contamination risks, supporting safe handling in clinical diagnostics and biotechnology research settings
• Build: Compact and lightweight (3.81 kg), suitable for benchtop use in cell imaging, biochemical analysis, and live-cell assay preparations

This incubator shaker combines temperature precision with reliable shaking performance, widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics. Its application is critical for maintaining optimal conditions during enzymatic reactions, nucleic acid hybridization, and antibody binding assays. The Boekel 130000 thus supports biomanufacturing pipelines by enabling reproducible experimental workflows in biotechnology and biomedical engineering domains.
