QInstruments BioShake iQ Heated Thermomixer with Orbital Shaking for Microplates and Tubes

The QInstruments BioShake iQ Thermomixer is a precision-engineered laboratory device designed for controlled heating and high-speed orbital shaking of microplates, tubes, vials, and low-volume biological samples. Featuring a 2.0 mm planar orbital motion with adjustable speeds ranging from 200 to 3,000 rpm, it delivers versatile mixing capabilities within a compact aluminum housing optimized for laboratory bench space.

The unit offers a temperature range from ambient to 99°C, adjustable in 1.0°C increments, with temperature regulation accuracy better than ±0.1°C and uniformity of ±0.5°C at 45°C across the heating surface. This level of precision is critical for applications in molecular diagnostics, PCR preparation, and bioprocessing workflows requiring stringent thermal control.

Equipped with universal spring clamps and exchangeable adapter plates, the BioShake iQ supports SBS-format microplates, deep well plates, PCR plates, and other vessel formats, facilitating flexibility across diverse experimental protocols. Front-facing touch controls and a two-line LCD display provide direct, user-friendly access to timing, speed, and temperature settings.

Ideal for biotechnology research, synthetic biology, and clinical diagnostics, this thermomixer is critical in applications such as gene editing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its compact footprint (6 x 7 x 4 inches) and 7 lbs weight make it suitable for crowded laboratory environments focusing on live-cell preparation, fluorescence analysis, and nucleic acid amplification.

Key technical features include:

This thermomixer is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical in biomanufacturing processes, offering reliable performance for demanding molecular biology and biochemical applications requiring simultaneous thermal and mechanical sample treatment.
