VWR Incubating Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 97043-606
Speed Range 100 to 1,200 RPM
Temperature Range Ambient +5°C to 65°C
Temperature Accuracy
± 0.5°C at 37°C
- Microprocessor control delivers consistent, uniform shaking
- Independent LED displays provide clear visibility of all parameters for easy monitoring
- Timer with audible alarm alerts users when programmed time expires
- Overload protection and gradual speed ramping enhance safety and prevent splashing
- Spill-resistant housing channels fluids away from internal components
- Opaque polycarbonate lid protects light-sensitive samples from exposure
The VWR Incubating Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 97043-606 is engineered to provide consistent and uniform shaking with its variable speed microprocessor control. This shaker is designed with three independent temperature, speed and time functions to ensure seamless user control in exacting applications. With a wide speed range of 100 to 1,200 RPM, the VWR 97043-606 microplate shaker is a versatile instrument that delivers shaking and temperature control for a number of varying sample types. Its 11 x 7.75 in. platform furthers this variability, allowing users to equip up to 4 microplates or 2 microtube racks per run.
As an additional safety measure, the display is equipped with a hot top indicator which notifies users anytime the chamber temperature exceeds 40°C. The VWR Incubating Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 97043-606 has a maximum weight capacity of 8 lbs. (3.6 kg). This shaker includes an automatic overload protection function which will shut off all power to the motor if the tray is prevented from shaking, mitigating any damage in the event that its weight limit has been exceeded.
All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The VWR Incubating Microplate Shaker, Cat. #: 97043-606 includes:
- > 11" x 7.75" 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
