CAPP CRP-412X Four Plate Microprocessor Controlled Shaker User Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

This four plate shaker is a microprocessor controlled shaker & comes with a digital display and a “PULSE” mode. It shakes with an orbital diameter of 3 mm for proper mixing of samples.

2. INTENDED USE

This four plate shaker is used for mixing various biological liquids and hemicals in micro-plates. It can be used in areas of biochemistry, biotechnology and microbiology laboratories.

3. FEATURES

5. TECHNICALSPECIFICATIONS

6. INSTALLATION

Gently take the unit out ofthe box and place it on a flat, stable and non lippery surface. Keep 2-inches clearance from all 4 sides of the shaker so that it can be operated easily and safely. Do not lift the instrument by holding the platform. Check whether the rubber suction cup is attached to the table properly. Plug in the power adapter pin before connecting to the power source. The instruction manual and accessories should be kept near the device in a safe storage location for at least 2 years for warranty purposes.

7. INSTALUNG MICRO-PLATES

The plates can be fixed on any side of the central pre-set O-ring.
Gently push the O-ring towards the centre of the plate sets lockedon the wall of the platform.
Ensure that the plate sits flat on the platform.

8. OPERATION

POWERING THE SHAKER
To start operation, connect the power adapter to the port at the left of the unit and subsequently flip the switch present at the left side of the unit to” I”.

SPEED EDIT FUNCTION

Adapter port Press the ‘SPEED’ button to set the RPM, followed by “+” OR “-” buttons to increase OR decrease the speed value from 200-1200 RPM.
On single press of the”+” and”-” buttons, the speed increases and decreases by 10 RPM respectively.\

In order to fast forward the increment OR decrement of the speed setting, press + or – button continuously. ( for eg: the increment will jump from 20, 40, 60 … , as long as we continue to press the”+” or”-” button.)
The value in the display window will blink 5 times and then stop, confirming that the set RPM value has been saved.

TIME EDIT FUNCTION

Press the ‘TIME’ button to set the time value, followed by”+” OR”-”

buttons to increase or decrease the time value from 1 to 999 minutes.
On single press of the”+” and buttons, the time can be increased or decreased by 1 min respectively.
In order to fast forward the increment or decrement of TIME setting, press + or button continuously. ( for eg: the increment will jump forward 20, 40, 60 … , as long as the” 1 “button is pressed.)

When the instrument is under operation, to change the time value, press TIME button followed by”+” and”-” key to set the desired Time
Value. Once the desired value is set, the set value will blink 5 times on the display and then stops, which confirms that the time value is saved.
If the user wants to run the instrument under continuous mode, after 999 mins one can choose the infinite mode which is shown as”][”
The value in the display window will blink 5 times and then stop, which confirms thatthe set time value has been saved.

PULSE MODE

The Pulse mode can be activated upon pressing the PULSE button after setting the desired speed and time values.
When PULSE mode is activated, the power LED will be steady on giving indication of activated pulse mode.
This mode automatically alternates the shaking motion in a clockwise & counter clockwise direction every 30 seconds by default
Pulse time can be changed by holding down the ” PULSE” button and subsequently, the pulse LED will steady on. Press the” 1 “OR” ” to increase or decrease pulse time between the range of 30 to 99
seconds. After having set the desired PULSE value, the set value will blink 5 times on the display and then stop which confirms that the PULSE value is saved.
Note: Upon restarting the system the pulse will reset to default

9. TIPS FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION

Orbital shaking is a simple way for the mixing of assay components, but simply putting the samples in a micro plate does not guarantee reaching complete blending after the mixing process.
The adjustment of the optimal mixing speed for micro-plates is dependent on the size of the well and the filling volume. The below\ table is a short summary for recommended mixing speeds for different micro-plates.
Larger volumes should be mixed with a higher orbit and low speed. Smallervolumes requires a lower orbit, but a much higher speed.
Note· Overfilling of wells can lead to spillage

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning should be done using a Damp cloth.
384 Standard Well 200 RPM 900 – 1100 RPM
Unplug the unit from its power source before any cleanup process.
, In case of any spillage allow the device to be steady.
Remove a contaminant by cleaning the unit frequently
Store in a dry place after packing
Note: Do not attempt to service or repair a product under warranty before consulting your manufacturer or distributor. After warranty period even such consultation are advised

11. SAFETY PRECAUTION

Do not lift the shaker by holding the micro-plate or shaking platform.
