Multi-purpose shakers MMS Series

• Nine (9) types of shaking platforms and holders for a variety of shaking methods and vessel types are available

▶▶▶ Introducing the EYELA shakers

• Model MMS-120H・220H・ 320・1020・3020

♦ Stable shaking from a low speed of 20rpm to a maximum of 250rpm.

♦ An efficient aeration makes it suitable for pre-culturing yeast and culturing E. coli under stress conditions after transformation.

• Model MMS-120H・220H 

♦ It supports continuous operation and long-term use in high-humidity environments and CO₂ incubators. The applicable ambient humidity range is up to 99% RH for chamber temperatures of 37°C or lower and up to 85% RH for temperatures above 37°C.

• Model MMS420・4020

♦ MMS-420 is exclusively for figure-8 shaking, while MMS-4020 is compatible with figure-8, reciprocal and orbital shaking.

♦ The figure-8 combines up-down and left-right shaking for uniform mixing.

♦ When set to a high shaking speed in a figure-8 motion, it achieves efficient shaking, making it highly effective for aerobic bacterial culture (see data).

♦ Supports stable shaking from 20 to 120rpm (figure-8) and 20 to 200rpm (reciprocal and orbital). The gentle and uniform figure-8 shaking at low speeds is ideal for gel and membrane washing, ELISA reactions, and Western blot reactions and washing.

• Model MMS-320・1020・3020

♦ Stable shaking from as low as 20 rpm to 250 rpm. An efficient aeration makes it suitable for pre-culturing yeast and culturing stress cells after transformation.

♦ MMS-320 and MMS-3020 allow both reciprocal and orbital shaking in a single unit. The shaking mode can be easily switched with a one-touch operation using the front lever.

• Model MMS-520・5020

♦ It provides stable shaking from low speeds of 20rpm to high speeds (see data). The orbital shaking function operates within a typical range of 20 to 400rpm, with a maximum of 450rpm when using centrifuge tubes. 

• Installation in incubators and chambers

The ambient temperature range of all MMS models is 4 to 50°C. They can be installed in one of our incubators (SLI, LTE, LTI-E, FLI, or MTI models) or housed in the dedicated constant temperature chambers (FMC or FMS models).

• Shaker compatibility table

※ See the bottom of this page for more details.

• Specification

Please select the main unit and optional shaking platform according to your intended use.

♦ Performance values are based on room temperature of 20°C, rated power supply voltage, 50Hz, and no load.

♦ Shaking platforms are not included. Please select from the optional shaking platforms according to your requirements.

♦ The usable load varies depending on the type of vessel used and the rotation speed.

♦ MMS-120H and 220H can be used in high-humidity environments. The operating ambient humidity range is 95±5%RH or less (internal temperature: 37°C or less) and 85%RH or less (internal temperature: 37°C or more).

• Data

• MMS-520

■ Growth of E. coli (comparison by shaking speed)
Using the MMS-520 model, we compared the growth efficiency of E. coli at different shaking speeds. As shown in the graph, growth was more efficient in a shorter time at 450rpm.

Conditions:
・E.coli: JCM-1649
・Erlenmeyer flasks: 100mL x 6
・Medium: 40mL
・Absorbance: 600nm

• MMS-4020

■Growth of E. coli (comparison by shaking method)
Comparison of growth efficiency of E. coli by different shaking methods. As shown in the graph, the figure-8 shaking allows for efficient growth even at 100rpm.

Conditions:
– E. coli: JCM-1649
– Medium: 5mL
– Test tube: 16 diameter × 160mm
– Absorbance: 600nm
