iShak Quattro NXT Digital Four-Plate Microplate Shaker
Fast, uniform and programmable orbital mixing for up to four microplates
The iShak Quattro NXT is a high-performance digital microplate shaker capable of mixing up to four standard skirted microplates simultaneously. Its microprocessor-controlled brushless DC motor delivers smooth, quiet and repeatable orbital movement across every plate position.
A broad speed range, extended digital timer and programmable pulse operation make the Quattro NXT suitable for everything from gentle sample agitation to vigorous high-speed mixing. Easy access to all four plate positions allows rapid loading and unloading during busy laboratory workflows.
Four plates in a single run
Process up to four microplates simultaneously, improving laboratory throughput while maintaining consistent 3 mm orbital mixing across every well.

Uniform Mixing Across Four Plates
The 3 mm orbital movement is designed to produce efficient circulation within microplate wells while maintaining stable operation. Each plate experiences the same controlled motion, helping provide consistent results across multiple assays and sample batches.
Speed can be adjusted between 200 and 1,200 RPM in 10 RPM increments, allowing the operator to select an appropriate mixing intensity for the plate format, sample volume and experimental protocol.
Programmable Pulse Operation
Pulse mode alternates the orbital direction between clockwise and counter-clockwise movement. The run-pause-run action can help disrupt persistent circulation patterns, resuspend settled material and improve mixing uniformity within the wells.
Spill-Conscious Plate Retention
A central non-slip rubber O-ring securely retains all four microplates during operation. Gradual speed acceleration reduces sudden sample movement at start-up, while the balanced drive provides stable operation at higher speeds.
