COLO ORSHA10 — High-Speed Microplate Shaker
OVERVIEW
Microplate shakers are essential tools in modern laboratories for homogenising liquids in ELISA plates, deep-well plates and cell culture plates. Reliable, uniform shaking across all wells is critical for accurate assay performance, reproducible incubation conditions and efficient sample processing in diagnostics, research and screening workflows.
COLO ORSHA10 is a compact, high-speed microplate shaker driven by a brushless DC motor and controlled by a microprocessor. It accommodates up to two standard microplates (96/384 wells), deep-well plates or 24/48/96-well cell culture plates and delivers controlled orbital shaking from 200 to 2000 rpm with a 2 mm orbit. A clear LCD display, integrated status indicator light and automatic fault detection with buzzer alarm make ORSHA10 a robust and user-friendly solution for ELISA, screening and general microplate mixing.
