Thermo Scientific Compact Digital Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 88880023
The Thermo Scientific Compact Digital Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 88880023, is a state-of-the-art laboratory instrument designed to deliver precise and consistent shaking results. Equipped with PID control, it ensures accurate setpoint management, essential for sensitive experimental conditions. Its digital display provides easy monitoring, while the compact design makes it perfectly suitable for use in non-CO2 incubators, chambers, and refrigerators with a temperature tolerance of up to 60°C.
The shaker offers a broad speed range from 150 to 1,200 RPM with an accuracy of ±15 RPM, and its timer can be set from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes or operated continuously. It features an orbit of 3 mm and is built to handle a maximum load of 8.8 lbs (4 kg), accommodating up to four 96-well microplates. The platform measures 10.5 x 7.3 inches (26.7 x 18.5 cm), and the unit includes a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) for clear visibility. Additionally, it is equipped with an automatic overload shutdown feature for added safety and durability.
The Thermo Scientific Compact Digital Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 88880023 includes:
- > 10.5" x 7.3" Microplate Platform
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator’s Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Validate that the power supply and PCB deliver stable, correct voltage outputs across all necessary connections, ensuring reliable operation
- Thoroughly inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels; replace affected elements to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Test the full range of button functionality, confirming responsive, accurate input recognition across all settings
- Conduct a detailed inspection of bearings and bearing housing, identifying any worn or damaged bearings, and replace as needed to prevent operational disruption
- Examine the drive belt for signs of cracking, fraying, or material breakdown; replace as required to ensure sustained performance
- Measure and adjust motor drive belt tension to optimal specifications, securing reliable and efficient power transmission
- Verify accuracy of the onboard timer, confirming proper functionality and replacing if it deviates from expected performance
- Calibrate shaker rotation speed with a NIST-traceable tachometer, validating precision within specified operational limits
- Run the shaker continuously for an 8-12 hour testing period, closely observing the shaking platform for smooth, consistent motion, while monitoring for any error indicators such as knocking, skipping, or unusual vibrations
- Perform a comprehensive cosmetic inspection to confirm the device’s exterior meets aesthetic and quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
