The cover clamps for 4 deepwell plates (CR1700) assure that the deepwell
plates and its sandwich covers are clamped together tightly; the individual wells are
hermetically closed. The cover clamp can be mounted onto orbital shaking platforms
from a range of suppliers (generally 4 clamps per shaker, so 16 plates, see photo
below), and can be used at g-forces up to 3.
Up to four clamps (16 deepwell MTPs) can be mounted onto a standard shaking
platform of 40 x 80 cm: the distance between the rows is required to slide in and
out the MTPs + sandwich covers
CR1700: cover clamp for 4 deepwell plates +
sandwich covers (can be mounted on orbital
shakers from most suppliers, with screws)
We also supply cover clamps for two
deepwell plates (CR1702, see below)
Since 2014, we also supply such 4-position
clamps with a slightly larger groundplate, that
allows clamping onto EPFL tables from Kuhner
shakers (order number: CR1700c).
These clamp systems have rapidly become
popular because it allows to clamp the culture-
filled MTPs and covers together already
outside the shaker cabinet (e.g. already in the
laminar flow cabinet where the plates were
filled with medium, and inocuated)

sandwich covers (can be mounted on orbital
shakers from most suppliers)
CR1700c: cover clamp for 4 deepwell plates +
sandwich covers (can be mounted on Kuhner EPFL
tables only)
