BioSan thermal shaker PST-60HL-4 for microtiter plates
The BioSan PST-60HL-4 thermal shaker is specially designed for shaking and tempering four 96-well microtiter plates. This device combines the functions of an incubator, a microplate shaker and a thermal shaker in one. Thanks to the patented double-sided heating of the microtiter plates, precise temperature adjustment is guaranteed. This unique feature makes the PST-60HL-4 a preferred choice for laboratories that require consistent and reliable results. Comparisons like the BioSan Thermal Shaker TS-100C Smart show that the double-sided heating ensures an even temperature distribution.
