Novara™ 6-Position Microplate Vortex Mixer & Incubator, High-Temp (HPS6)

The Novara™ HPS6 is the flagship of the line, designed for the most demanding high-throughput laboratory environments. With a 6-position capacity and an expanded thermal ceiling of 100°C, this unit replaces multiple smaller incubators, consolidating your workflow into a single, high-precision station. Whether you are managing complex ELISA arrays or high-temperature catalytic reactions, the HPS06 delivers the raw power and nuanced control your research requires. Engineered with a high-torque 480W heating system and a brushless motor reaching 1600 RPM, it is significantly more powerful than conventional mixers, ensuring consistent performance even with the densest samples.

Most benchtop mixers utilize a generic 2mm orbit, but the HPS06 features a specialized 3mm horizontal orbit, providing the increased agitation energy necessary for thorough resuspension. This unit is specifically engineered for extreme versatility, featuring a massive 50mm vertical clearance—nearly double the industry standard. This allows for the simultaneous processing of extra-deep well plates, specialized reagent reservoirs, and high-profile blocks that simply will not fit in conventional units.

Unlike standard multi-plate mixers that force a "start-all" approach, the HPS06 features independent timing for all 6 positions visible on a high-contrast LCD screen. This allows researchers to add or remove plates at different intervals without interrupting the incubation of others. Combined with a maintenance-free brushless DC motor and a smart Auto-Preheat function that readies the chamber while you prep samples, the HPS06 is built for 24/7 continuous operation in high-traffic core facilities.

To eliminate the "edge effect" common in high-capacity incubators, the HPS06 utilizes a unique wrap-around heating lid design. By enveloping the plates in a consistent thermal shroud, the unit prevents condensation and ensures that the samples in the outer-most wells maintain the exact same ±0.5°C temperature as those in the center. Validation is further supported by an advanced Fuzzy Logic microprocessor featuring Automatic Temperature Recovery. This system intelligently detects thermal fluctuations and rapidly restores the set point to maintain equilibrium, while preventing overshoots that could compromise delicate samples.

The high-resolution LCD allows you to lock in your exact needs with 1 RPM and 0.1°C increments. From its rapid ramp-up times (RT to 100°C in ≤ 20 mins) to its built-in hardware over-temperature protection, every feature of the HPS06 is engineered to provide the rigorous, data-backed reproducibility required for modern validated laboratory SOPs.
