A distinction is made between laboratory shakers with a thermal function with regard to their areas of application and, in particular, their shaking methods. For example, there is the method of rolling, rocking, circling, vibrating or tumbling. Moreover, modern thermal shakers shine with their numerous functions and setting variants.

The main functions of professional thermal shakers

  • for mixing liquids of different densities
  • for the preparation of emulsions and suspensions and for their homogenization
  • for elution and extraction processes
  • for the cultivation of microorganisms or cell cultures
  • for dissolving nutrients from substrates
  • for the suppression of sedimentation
  • for individual requirements in everyday laboratory work

Incubation shakers with an included thermo function play an important role in everyday laboratory work when it comes to ensuring a constant atmospherefor certain substances, also in the course of the respective shaking process. Circular shakers and orbital shakers are ideal for general applications, such as the study of biochemical processes. Reagent shakers guarantee the best mixing ratios with their circular-vibrating rotations.

Even when solid particles are contained in the material. Wobble and rocking shakers can be set to different oscillation, rotation, rocking and wobbling frequencies. The high load capacity, even at higher temperatures, also makes devices of this type indispensable in everyday laboratory work.

Tip from the MedSolut team

Select your thermal shaker so that it allows you to work with different flasks, attachments and other accessories. The workload in your laboratory or company certainly plays a central role here. A look at the setting variants and the additional features available also makes it easier to find the optimum thermal shaker. Also make sure that the preset temperature corresponds exactly to the temperature prevailing in the incubator.

If – for whatever reason – deviations from the setpoint occur, the implemented thermal technology should compensate for them immediately. Do you need thermal shakers for unusual temperature ranges as well? Talk to us or email us at info@medsolut.com. We will help you further.

The best thermal shakers from BioSan – TS-100, TS-100C and TS-100C Smart

The manufacturer BioSan is known for its excellent product and service portfolio. The TS-100, TS-100C and TS-100C Smartthermoshakers are particularly worthy of mention here. In the following, we will show you the special advantages of BioSan shakers.

The BioSan shaker TS-100

With the BioSan TS-100 shaker, intensive mixing as well as temperature control for very small samples can be accomplished with ease. Whether it’s samples in PCR plates or micro test tubes, precision and reliability are paramount with this shaker. In addition, mixing and heating are possible both simultaneously and independently. The TS-100 combines three apparatuses in itself:

  • a dry-block thermostat,
  • a classic shaker
  • and a thermal shaker.

You can use the TS-100 very well for the extraction of lipids, polysaccharides and proteins. The instrument also proves to be a valuable aid for DNA analyses and sample preparation. Last but not least, the TS-100 is excellent for extracting metabolitesfrom cellular material or performing biochemical studies related to enzymatic reactions and processes.

Among the special advantages of the TS-100 thermal shakerwith included 12-volt heating plate are the rapid achievement of specific mixing speeds and the continuous maintenance of previously set temperature ranges – thanks to the innovative temperature calibration function. Solid maintenance of the rotation amplitude is also ensured in any case with this thermal shaker. Time values as well as temperature and speed values are clearly displayed on a clear LCD display.

Easy handling, reliable results

The compact size and the extremely low noise level during commissioning also speak in favor of the TS-100. Thanks to the high-quality, particularly robust material composition and processing, a long service life is guaranteed. The temperature setting range is 25 to 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the temperature control range is 5 degrees Celsius above the ambient temperature of +100 degrees Celsius. You can calibrate the device to ±6 percent of the respective desired temperature. In this way, possible differences in the thermal behavior of containers from different manufacturers can be well compensated.

The BioSan TS-100C shaker

Just like BioSan’s TS-100 thermal shaker, the compact TS-100C model is ideal for intensive mixing as well as temperature control for samples in PCR plates and microtubes. However, this instrument differs from the TS-100 in that samples of various types can be cooled down to a temperature as low as +4 degrees Celsius.

High user friendliness – best quality

Rapid achievement of desired mixing speeds is guaranteed with the TS-100C, as is the maintenance of preset rotation amplitudes throughout the block. Five cooling and heating blocksare included in the product portfolio. A thermoblock with plastic flap for the PCR plates is also included. Of course, all blocks are interchangeable with each other. The installation of a single block is possible with just a few simple steps.

Consistently convincing – the TS-100C

What the TS-100 can do, the TS-100C can do as well: All relevant values can be read at a glance on the clearly designed LCD display, such as the speed and time values as well as the operating temperature, etc. The integrated microprocessor is extremely powerful and controls the mixing speed as well as the operating time and temperature. The integrated microprocessor is extremely powerful and controls the operating time as well as the mixing speed and temperature. You can also expect an operating time of up to 168 hours without interruption from the TS-100C.

The BioSan TS-100C shaker is ideal for genetic analyses, biochemical studies and the extraction of metabolites from cell material. The setting accuracy is specified by the manufacturer as 0.1 degrees Celsius. Thanks to the availabletemperature calibration function, it is possible to preset the thermal shaker to ±6 percent of the selected temperature. In this way, a good compensation of possible differences in the thermal behavior of tubes is ensured.

The BioSan shaker TS-100C Smart

The BioSan TS-100C Smart shaker is rightly named. Because the functions are indeed extremely “smart” – and very well thought out. The basic features are comparable to those of the TS-100 and TS-100 C. Precision and reliability in intensive mixing and with regard to temperature control for samples in micro test tubes and PCR plates are guaranteed in every case. Manual control via the clearly structured user interface makes everyday life in the laboratory much easier.

Likewise, you can use the computer program with Bluetooth connection if you value efficient usability. The TS-100C Smart thermal shaker is the perfect companion when extracting metabolites from cellular materialor performing biochemical studies of enzymatic processes and reactions. This instrument is also excellent for the extraction of RNA, DNA and other sample preparation procedures.

Creating profiling programs is a breeze with the TS-100C Smart. You can connect up to 7 devices to one computer, depending on your needs. A wireless connection to the PC is possible. Facilitate laboratory work by using the remote control functionof temperature, sound signal, time and speed. If required, this TS-100C Smart also gives you the option of visualizing diagrams and displaying speeds or temperatures over time, for example.In addition, data export to Excel and CSV formats is easily possible, and fault diagnostics can also be performed with the smart thermal shaker in no time at all.

Device differences at a glance:

  • Compared to the TS-100, the other two instruments offer the ability to cool samples down to +4 degrees Celsius.
