Teleshake AC
Shake samples up to 1 kg in weight in a compact instrument that integrates with all major workflows and applications.
Shakers are essential components in biotechnology and laboratory automation. They ensure reliable mixing of samples, cultures and reagents, enabling reproducible results in research, diagnostics and process development.Easy Integration into robotic workflows
- takes up significantly less space in the workflow and around it
- controlled with the separate Inheco Single TEC Control unit (STC) off the workflow or with the Inheco Multi TEC Control unit to control up to six instruments in parallel
- shakes samples of up to 1 kg in weight
- can be variably set with rotation speeds starting at 1 rpm moving up to a max of 2,000 rpm
- zero-positioning function
- available with 2 mm and 3 mm amplitude
- orbital, diagonal or linear shaking possible
- can be used with all of your disposables, from vials and reservoirs to lidded sample plates
- designed, engineered and made in Germany, rigorous quality control
- global two-year warranty and full customer service including remote support, diagnostic and servicing options

The use of RPM smaller 300 with the Thermoshake AC is possible. However, the shaking performance cannot be guaranteed. In case the shaking is not steady you will receive a warning "error 35 slot x (x = slot ID). This error can be ignored if no other error or warning are set at the same time. It is not Inheco´s responsibility if there is any method failure due to this low RPM.
| Environmental conditions | |
|---|---|
| Tolerable relative humidity: | |
| Operation | 10-80% RH *3 (non condensing) |
| Transportation and storage | 10-80% RH *3 (non condensing) |
| Temperature: | |
| Operation | +15 °C to +32 °C [+59 °F to 90 °F] |
| Transportation and storage | -10 °C to +60 °C [+14 °F to 140 °F] *3, non condensing |
*3) Condensate can prevent the Shaking instruments from operating properly and can damage the Thermoshake AC. Condensate should be eliminated on a daily basis or more often, for example by heating cycles in between cooling cycles.
Why use an on-deck shaker?
Mixing is an essential part of many automated liquid handling processes and shaking is often the preferred method. An on-deck shaker allows consistent replicable mixing for every sample, throughout the day.What to look for in an on-deck shaker?
It’s vital that your shaker provides accurate and uniform shaking for every sample. Secure clamping and wide choice of disposables are important in many processes. Depending on your requirements, you may want to choose an on-deck shaker which can handle heavier loads, or which offers a choice of shaking patterns, or that can be used with other shakers or on-deck instruments.
- Size - how big a footprint is the shaker?
- Height - is it low enough to use deep well plates or disposables with even higher profile when space is limited between the pipetting head and the workflow?
- Can you adjust and control the program run time?
- How adjustable is program shaking speed?
- What choice of pattern do you need - and what is available?
- Disposables choice - Can it handle vials and deep wells as well as your preferred microplates?
- Compatibility with other devices - How will it connect with your existing workflow?
Secure shaking for your choice of disposables
The Teleshake AC delivers:- Automated clamping mechanism for secure shaking.
- Clamping makes this suitable for wide variety of disposables, such as standard ANSI/SLAS plate formats, or other reagent containers or tubes.
- Enables piercing of sealed labware and shaking of disposables with lids when using exchangeable customized clamping pins.
- Strong shaking motor for faster shaking of heavier loads.
- Shaking speed: 300 to 3,000 rpm.
- Load capacity up to 1 kg over whole frequency range.
- 2 or 3 mm shaking amplitude (see product variant)
Software
The Inheco measurement plate (IMP) is a stand-alone verification tool which enables wireless verification of temperature, humidity and shaking pattern. So, when long term consistency and accuracy are critical, you can easily monitor and measure the performance of your Inheco instruments.
- API available. The Inheco Teleshake 1536 is quick to connect, and ready for future developments in your lab.
