Benchmark MultiTherm™ Shaker

The MultiTherm™ Shaker is a temperature-controlled vortexer designed for a variety of molecular biology applications. Offering precise temperature control from 0°C to 100°C, this shaker is ideal for DNA/RNA denaturation, protein studies, and cell culture processes. The unit is equipped with interchangeable blocks, which accommodate tube sizes from 0.2 ml to 50 ml, making it versatile for many sample types.

With its compact design and powerful features, the MultiTherm™ Shaker provides consistent temperature and shaking control, making it suitable for a wide range of molecular biology procedures, including DNA plasmid isolation, restriction digestion, and reverse transcription.

Key Features:

• Temperature Control: The MultiTherm™ Shaker allows precise temperature regulation, from ambient +5°C to 100°C for heating models and ambient -10°C to 100°C for the heat/cool models. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of experiments and sample types.
• Interchangeable Blocks: The shaker comes with a wide variety of blocks (sold separately) that accommodate sample tubes from 0.2 ml to 50 ml, including popular tube types like PCR plates. Blocks are easily swapped for different sample sizes and configurations.
• Precise Shaking: The shaker features a horizontal, circular shaking motion, providing uniform mixing of samples. Speeds range from 200 to 1500 rpm, allowing users to adjust the shaking intensity to match the needs of specific protocols.
• Contoured Wells: The units come with precision-contoured wells for uniform thermal transfer, ensuring consistent and efficient heating or cooling throughout the samples.
• Two Models Available: The H5000-H model offers heating only, while the H5000-HC provides both heating and cooling, making it ideal for more temperature-sensitive applications.
• Compact Design: Despite its powerful features, the MultiTherm™ Shaker has a modest footprint of 8 x 11 in, saving valuable bench space.
