Teleshake AC
High mass shaking for a wide choice of disposables
Shake loads of up to 1 kg at up to 3,000 rpm with our auto clamping solution.Microplate shakers are used for mixing samples used in immunoassays, ELISA, cell cultures, and other lab applications that require high throughput screening. Shaking is preferred to stirring when mixing low volume samples because no additional stirring rod is required, so there’s no extra risk of contamination. As part of an automated liquid handling deck a compact shaker can save time and space. It adds precision by providing uniform and replicable shaking using your chosen speed and pattern for the time period required.
The Teleshake AC allows you to shake a wide variety of plates. Thanks to automated clamping it can handle loads up to 1 kg for orbital shaking. Active clamping (automated labware clamping), using customized clamping rods for different labware, lets you use different format plates without adjustment. That also enables you to shake plates with clamped lids and allows piercing through sealing foils while keeping the plate firmly clamped. Shaking frequency is 300 to 3,000 rpm with adjustable amplitude of 2 mm. It’s easy to adjust the shaking pattern (linear, orbital & planar) and a low-speed start-up process prevents spillage.
MODELS TO MATCH YOUR NEEDS
Inheco offers three models of on-deck shaker.
- Teleshake AC - For multiple plate sizes and where loads of up to 1 kg are required. The AC range of device deliver an auto clamping mechanism (AC) and multiple shaking options
- Teleshake - Designed for smaller plate sizes
- Teleshake 1536 - For small plates when a higher shaking frequency is required
The Teleshake AC takes up just one ANSI/SLAS plate position on deck, occupying little more space than a standard microplate, and is just 47 mm high with a zero positioning function for comfortable robotic gripping. Control with the separate off-deck Inheco Single TEC Control unit (STC) which further minimizes deck space while reducing noise and temperature. Or choose the Inheco Multi TEC Control unit to control up to six devices in parallel when using several Inheco products on your deck. An API is available and the Teleshake AC is integrated with all major deck manufacturers, enabling immediate plug and play.
ADAPTABLE
Use your preferred disposable with the Teleshake AC, including microplates, PCR plates, strips, and tubes, and some low-profile reservoirs and polypropylene plates. Active clamping (automated labware clamping), using customized clamping rods for different labware, lets you use different format plates without adjustment. That also enables you to shake plates with clamped lids and allows piercing through sealing foils while keeping the plate firmly clamped. We offer over 200 adapters, manufactured inhouse to ensure a perfect fit to the geometry of the disposable item, or can tailor an adapter to fit your needs.
RELIABLE AND SUPPORTED
Every Inheco device is designed, engineered and made in Germany and undergoes rigorous quality control before delivery. It comes with a global two-year warranty and full customer service including remote support, diagnostic and servicing options that focusses on minimizing operational downtime.

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.

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 devices.
- 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 deck?
- 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 deck?
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)
