Stuart SSM5 Digital Microplate Shaker with Orbital Motion

The Stuart SSM5 Microplate Shaker is a digitally controlled orbital shaker designed for precise agitation of microtiter plates and tubes, essential for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Its speed range spans from 250 to 1250 RPM, adjustable in fine 10 RPM increments, supporting protocols requiring exact shaking conditions. The shaker features an 8.5″ x 8.5″ platform capable of holding up to four microplates simultaneously, making it suitable for high-throughput applications in biotechnology and synthetic biology research.

Key technical features include:

• Orbit diameter: 1.5 mm, ensuring consistent and gentle shaking, ideal for live-cell assays and fluorescence analysis.
• Max load capacity: 1 kg, supporting a variety of plate sizes and labware.
• Operating environment: Compatible with CO2 incubators up to 40°C and 80% relative humidity, enabling integration with cell culture workflows and tissue engineering applications.
• Programmable timer: Offers flexible timing modes—from seconds to hours (three programming options spanning from 1 second up to 9 hours), critical in bioprocessing and molecular cloning protocols.
• Compact design: Dimensions of 10” x 12” x 7” and lightweight at 15 lbs, facilitating placement in limited bench space or controlled incubator environments.

Powered at 120 V, 60 Hz, 50 W, this unit ensures stable performance consistent with clinical diagnostics and cell imaging demands. The Stuart SSM5 Microplate Shaker is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biomanufacturing pipelines, providing reliable orbital shaking critical for efficient reagent mixing and cell culture agitation.

This model includes the platform and a 120 V power cord with a 30-day warranty for laboratory assurance. It is a valuable instrument for biotechnology laboratories focusing on live-cell experiments, fluorescence assays, and molecular biology workflows requiring precise, reproducible shaking conditions.
