How to choose between MTS200 and MTS400
When selecting a microplate thermo shaker incubator, the laboratory should define plate type, number of plates per run, working temperature, shaking speed, timing requirements and accessory needs. MTS200 is the practical choice for compact two-plate workflows, while MTS400 is selected when four-plate throughput is required.
Both models share the same core performance class: RT+5°C to 70°C temperature range, 100–1600 rpm mixing speed, 3 mm mixing amplitude, PID temperature control, timer range from 1 minute to 9999 minutes and safety functions such as overheating protection, menu lock and power failure memory.
MTS200 / MTS400 as a microplate shaker incubator for daily laboratory work
MTS200 / MTS400 Microplate Thermo Shaker Incubator is useful when a laboratory needs one compact platform for controlled heating, incubation and repeatable shaking of microplates. Instead of using separate heating and shaking devices, users can perform plate incubation, timed mixing, sample preparation and reaction workflows in one bench-top system.
The RT+5°C to 70°C temperature range and 100–1600 rpm mixing speed support many routine plate-based protocols. MTS200 is well suited for moderate daily throughput, while MTS400 provides additional capacity for laboratories that process more plates per run. For laboratories focused on microplate incubation, enzymatic reactions, catalysis, diagnostics and QC workflows, the MTS series provides a direct and practical solution.
