2. General Information
MPS-1, High–Speed Multi Plate Shaker for small volumes provides
adjustable mixing of reagents in microplates, PCR plates, deepwell plates and test
tubes from 0.2 to 2 ml. MPS-1, also, features a vortex function – vortex head is
integrated into the platform holder. Vortex function is available for single test tube
from 0.5 to 50 ml.
The Shaker is compact, user-friendly and ideal for personal use. MPS-1 can be
used in a wide range of applications, including DNA/RNA isolation and further sample

Please see our recommendations - How to choose the right mode for mixing of
different types of plates, microtubes and strips in Paragraph 6.
MPS-1 High–Speed Multi Plate Shaker provides:
• Pulse mode - featuring a series of 3 second pulses, each increasing linearly in
rpm until the set speed is reached. Activated by a separate key on the front
panel, this motion is repeated until the timer stops. This mode provides a
constant state of resuspension of particles, as the acceleration is constantly
changing.
• Universal platform holder - accommodating microplates, PCR plates (skirted)
and deepwell plates. Four easily interchangeable additional platforms are also
available for semi-/unskirted PCR plates, 0.2ml test tubes and trips and
0.5ml/2ml test tubes.
• Digital timer - can be set from 15 seconds to 60 minutes, unit will stop
automatically after set time has elapsed.
• Multi-function - combines shaking and vortexing function all in one unit!
