Grant Targets ELISA Market With 3-in-1 Microplate Shaker, Thermoshaker and Incubator.CAMBRIDGE, England -- Grant Instruments (www.grant.co.uk), a world-renowned supplier of scientific, life sciences and data acquisition products, has introduced a highly versatile, variable speed, variable temperature three-in-one microplate shaker Shaker Member of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, a celibate millenarian sect. Derived from a branch of the radical English Quakers (see Society of Friends), the movement was brought to the U.S. , thermoshaker and incubator targeted at molecular and cell biologists, in particular those performing ELISAs (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assays enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay n. ELISA. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) A diagnostic blood test used to screen patients for AIDS or other viruses. ). Part of the successful Grant bio range of life science products and extending Grant's range of microplate equipment, the PHMP-4 can accommodate four standard depth 96- or 384-well microplates. The PHMP-4 delivers excellent temperature stability (O0.1xC) and uniformity (O0.2xC) over the entire heating platform due to the innovative bi-directional heating system. The heated lid and base combination also prevents condensation which is critical when handling micro-volume samples at high temperatures. The combination of the bi-directional heating and the powerful orbital shaking produces the maximum yield from incubations. The PHMP-4 is three instruments in one: it can be used as a microplate thermoshaker, a compact benchtop incubator without shaking, and a microplate shaker without temperature control. When employed as a thermoshaker or incubator, it provides a heating range from ambient plus 5xC to 60xC and optionally to temperatures above 60oC. As a thermoshaker or shaker without heating, it provides powerful orbital shaking with reproducible rotation speeds of 250 to 1200 rpm. Designed to meet workspace restrictions in today's busy laboratory and suitable for operation in a 4oC cold room, the PHMP-4 is compact, with a low profile and small footprint (380 x 390 x 140mm). The product is extremely easy to operate, with very simple set-up of temperature, speed and time and display of actual and set temperature. As well as its suitability for ELISAs, the PHMP-4 can be used in multiple applications including molecular biology molecular biology, scientific study of the molecular basis of life processes, including cellular respiration, excretion, and reproduction. The term molecular biology was coined in 1938 by Warren Weaver, then director of the natural sciences program at the Rockefeller (for microbial microbial pertaining to or emanating from a microbe. microbial digestion the breakdown of organic material, especially feedstuffs, by microbial organisms. cell cultivation and DNA analysis DNA analysis Any technique used to analyze genes and DNA.
