Specifications and features
This section contains information on the specifications and features of the TriNEST Microplate incubator and shaker
instrument.
Technical specifications
The technical specifications for the TriNEST Microplate incubator and shaker instrument are as follows.
Power requirements
Warning: Only use the power supply delivered with the instrument.
Power consumption max.: 150 W
Mains voltage AC input to the power supply: 100 - 240 V, 2 A, 50/60 Hz
DC output from the power supply to the instrument: 24 V, 6.25 A
Capacity
Three microplates can be loaded in one unit.
Three units can be stacked for a total capacity of nine plates.
Any mixture of SBS standard size microplates can be used:
• Length 127.76 mm ± 0.12 (5.030 inches ± 0.005)
• Width 85.47 mm ± 0.12 (3.365 inches ± 0.005)
• Height 14.35 mm ± 0.25 (0.565 inches ± 0.010) .
Caution: Do not use plates with a lid, frame or collar around the top. Using these types of plates may interfere with
the plate detection mechanism. Three SBS standard size microplates can be loaded into one unit.
Temperature
The incubation temperature can be set from +20°C to +70°C in steps of ±1°C. The minimum temperature that can be
achieved in the incubation chambers is 3°C above ambient but not lower than +20°C. It takes 16 minutes at most to
raise the temperature from 24°C to a target temperature of 70°C.
If the default plate cooling time is too long for an assay, using one or more cooling block(s) can help. For more on
cooling block, see Optional features and spare parts on page 21.
All three incubation chambers are subject to the same temperature conditions.
Temperature setting accuracy: ± 0.5°C.
Uniformity across a plate: better than 0.6°C.
Shaking
Three microplates can be shaken with an orbital vibrating motion.
Shaking frequency: 0 or 400 ‑ 1200 rpm in steps of 100 rpm.
Amplitude of shaking: 2 mm (0.08 inches).
Shaking precision: +/- 2%.
There are two shaking modes: Continuous or Interval.
