Independent Parameter Control: Adjust time, temperature, and speed individually on the fly without stopping the run or resetting your progress.
The Novara™ HPS4 is a professional-grade 4-position heated microplate vortex mixer and incubator designed for laboratories that need to scale their workflow without sacrificing accuracy. While standard mixers limit your throughput, the HPS04 allows you to process four plates simultaneously with Independent Parameter Control. Using the high-contrast digital LCD interface, you can fine-tune speed, time, or temperature on the fly—essential for high-volume, multi-stage assays.
Most benchtop mixers utilize a generic 2mm orbit, but the HPS04 features a specialized 3mm horizontal orbit, providing significantly more agitation energy than conventional units. This extra power is necessary for thorough resuspension in deep-well plates and high-viscosity reagents. Whether you are working with genomics, proteomics, or diagnostics, the HPS04 ensures a true, consistent vortex across all four positions.
Experimental integrity is guarded by an advanced Fuzzy Logic microprocessor. This "smart" control system features Automatic Temperature Recovery, which intelligently detects thermal fluctuations and rapidly restores the set point to maintain equilibrium. This logic also prevents temperature overshoots by intuitively tapering power as it nears your target, ensuring delicate samples never exceed their thermal limit.
Equipped with PID control, the HPS04 reaches temperature rapidly (RT to 80°C in ≤ 12 min). To prevent the "edge effect" common in multi-plate incubators, the unit utilizes an integrated heated lid that envelops the plates in a uniform thermal shroud. This prevents sample evaporation and condensation, protecting your sample integrity and ensuring your plate seals remain secure.
Stop settling for 10 RPM jumps or "approximate" temperatures. The backlit LCD display provides real-time feedback, allowing you to lock in your exact parameters—1 RPM and 0.1°C at a time. This ultra-fine digital resolution ensures your results are 100% reproducible, making it the ideal choice for validated laboratory SOPs and high-sensitivity incubation protocols.
