Flexibility for all solutions
Wide range of transfer station
Standard transfer station
Supplies the microplate in portrait format. A 90⁰ turntable version is also available for presentation in landscape format.
Linear transfer station
Available in different lengths (300, 400, 500 and customized) for extended reach. Delivers the microplate in portrait format, with further options for landscape presentation or lateral movement.
Swap station (180⁰)
180⁰ turntable swap station to accelerate your handling process.
Plate life for under-bench solution
Stepper motor driven (SMD) technology offers microplate movement to a predefined height within a 500mm stroke.
Options for your precise requirements
Precise humidity control
Hydra-Smart ultrasonic vaporizer technology for controlled humidity and an external water reservoir for maximum convenience and minimal contamination risk.
Solid copper – antimicrobial material
Easy to maintain. Durability, reliability, and recyclability makes copper a smart, sustainable choice providing long service life and safe for cultured cells.
TRUE orbital shaking technology
Produces ideal growth conditions for cells requiring consistent TRUE orbital shaking.
TRUE orbital shaking
The Thermo Scientific Cytomat 2 automated incubator with Tower Shaker is the only solution that providesTRUE orbital shaking. It is ideal for applications requiring sample agitation and cells that need to be kept in suspension.
The synchronized dual magnetic drive system (located at the bottom and top) ensures consistent shaking amplitude across all microplates without being affected by load, position or number of plates.
Bacterial growth consistency over the entire two stackers (bottom to top) of the Tower Shaking option
Key applications
- Cell Culture (mammalian)
- Microbial Culture
- Genomics
- Biologics
- Luminex (ELISA, Biomarkers)
Markets
- Drug Discovery
- Biopharmaceuticals
- Life Science Research
- Diagnostics
The graph shows optimum bacterial growth with the dual magnetic drive system across all plates (green line; standard deviation 2.7%). In comparison, the technology with only bottom drive shaking reveals inconsistent actual growth (standard deviation 10.1%).
Tower Shaker features
- Active microplate clamp mechanism secures plate and lid separately; no abrasions of the microplates during shaking
- Mix and match standard and Tower Shaker stacker for maximum flexibility for assay adoption
- Inductive wear-free driving mechanism allows for no particle emission or belts to change
- Superior shaking technology with individual speed settings for each Tower Shaker from 100-1200 rpm with oscillating amplitude of 3mm (2mm option) offers a wide range of application setups
