MATRIX/// THERMOSHAKERS

DIFFERENT MODELS

Mixing, heating, cooling, or all at once? MATRIX is a powerful thermoshaker
family and your ideal companion for sample preparation in laboratories formolecular biology, pharmaceuticals or biochemistry. Regardless whether blood
samples, pharmaceutical agents, DNA/RNA samples or ELISA assays – samples
with even the smallest volumes are mixed reliably and completely in all

The models of the MATRIX thermoshaker family have different features, to provide you with a device fulfilling precisely the functions
you need for your experiments.

laboratory applications.

VARIETY OF ATTACHMENTS
A wide range of interchangeable attachments enables the thermoshakers to be flexibly adapted to different requirements and applications. Sample vessels with different
volumes as well as microtiter plates and deep well plates can be mixed and tempered. A stable quick-release fastener makes it easier to exchange the attachments,
and at the same time ensures they are optimally fixed for effective temperaturetransfer.
User safety is guaranteed, as high temperatures are not transferred to the frame.
Also, the MATRIX unit automatically recognizes which attachment the user haschosen.

Enzyme reactions
The model MATRIX Delta Plus allows incubationof the reaction mix at the enzyme specific temperature, without shaking.
The attachments are adapted to the shape of thetubes to ensure uniform conditions throughout
the entire vessel.

High-throughput PCR
High-throughput samples can be incubated withthe attachments for 96 and 384 well PCR platesand tubes.
With the models MATRIX Delta Plus and MATRIX
Orbital Delta Plus the plates can be heated,cooled and mixed as desired.

Cell culture

AUTOMATED TEMPERATURE SHIFTMedia, components or cell cultures can be tempered and mixed
with the 5 ml, 15 ml, 50 ml and the 12 mm attachments for themodels MATRIX Delta Plus and MATRIX Orbital Delta Plus.

Through programmable temperature ramps the model MATRIX
Orbital Delta Plus can perform mixing, cooling and heating steps
automatically. A series of 5 steps can be programmed to perform
an experiment independently and reliably.

DEFH

The digestion of DNA samples is performed automatically with nofurther supervision needed. The programs are set following thereaction protocol. In step 1 ideal reaction conditions for the enzyme
are established to digest the DNA. The reaction is then stopped
with step 2 by heating up and therefore denaturing the enzyme.
To prevent DNA degradation the sample is cooled in step 3 until thesample is processed further.

GMX carrier / Ident. No.: 0030000849

Restriction digestion

For gentle thawing of frozen cells the attachment for 1.5 ml and
2 ml cryo vials is ideal. To ensure cell viability the slow temperingmode can be activated, which increases the temperature slowly andcarefully.

PROGRAMMED STEPS:
Step 1: 37 °C for 1 h
Step 2: 65 °C for 10 min
Step 3: 4 °C

The MX carrier attachment for cell culture plates allows temperingand mixing of various plates. The two inbuild tempering modes
adjust the heating or cooling as needed.

Incubation of Elisa plates
LIGHT PROTECTION
The cover can be used to shield light sensitivesamples.

With MATRIX Orbital Delta FP the ELISA plates
can be mixed at room temperature or heatedduring incubation.

MX cover / Ident. No.: 0030001253
If also cooling of the plates while mixing isrequired, the MX carrier attachment and model
MATRIX Orbital Delta Plus can be used.

THERMOCOVER
The heatable ThermoCover prevents condensation on the vial lid and wall. At the same time it
enables constant reaction conditions.
MX thermocover / Ident. No.: 0030001244

Mixing samples at roomtemperature
MATRIX Orbital can mix samples in various tubes or microplateswith a speed range from 300 – 3000 rpm.
The shaking diameter of 3.0 mm generates effective mixing ofthe samples even in the microliter range.
With the "Quick mix"-button the samples are mixed fast for as
long as the button is pressed (touch function).

Why should the formationof condensate be avoided?
When the samples are heated, liquid evaporates
from the tubes or wells and accumulates on thevessel lid. This shifts the concentrations in thereaction mix. For example, the decreased amountof substrate leads to a reduced enzyme activity.
