Incubated and Refrigerated Orbital Shakers

Thermo Scientific Incubated and Refrigerated Orbital Shakers

• Combines incubated/refrigerated temperatures with orbital shaker
• View speed, time and temperature simultaneously
• Spacious chamber holds six two-liter flasks
• Clear lid allows sample viewing without disturbing chamber atmosphere
• Choose between analog and digital operating systems
• Five-year warranty on parts, one year on labor and lifetime on drive mechanism

The MaxQ 4000 series comes with a spacious chamber that can handle up to six 2.0 liter flasks, while the clear lid allows for viewing of samples without disturbing the chamber atmosphere. You can also view the speed, time and temperature readings in one glance with the front-panel LED displays. The units come in either analog or digital models. Choose from three temperature ranges on the front panel depending on need—molecular biology, entomology, protein expression and plasmid purification studies. For a complete system, you need to order the shaker, platform and clamps.

Applications

• Cell cultures
• Solubility studies
• Staining & de-staining
• Washing procedures
• Extraction procedures
• Diagnostic tests
• Hybridizations
• Plasmid purification
• General mixing
• Bacterial suspensions
• Protein expression

Product Description

• Choose from three temperature ranges to fulfill a variety of molecular biology, entomology, protein expression and plasmid purification studies
• Clear lid allows you to view samples without disturbing internal temperature

Operation

• Shakers feature a triple eccentric drive to handle heavy workloads, provide uniform agitation and enable continuous 24-hour operation even at high speeds
• PID temperature controller precisely monitors and controls chamber temperature over complete range with ±0.1°C accuracy at 37°C

Analog Operating Systems

• DC motor and variable speed control from 40 to 400 rpm, controlled by a rotary dial
• Integrated tachometer monitors and displays speed in rpm to guarantee an accurate setting
• Easy-to-read LED digital display shows temperature
• Operate shaker in continuous mode or set timer from 1 to 60 minutes for time studies

Digital Operating Systems

• Solid state DC brushless motor, variable speed control from 15 to 500 rpm, and continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hour up to 999 hours or 0.1 minute to 999 minutes.
• Displayed time counts up during continuous operation and down during timed runs
• View speed, operating time and temperature simultaneously on three individual LED displays which helps minimize errors in establishing running conditions
• Visual/audible signals alert you to temperature deviations. Heat turns off if temperature deviates ±1°C of set point
• Shaker shut down and audible/visual alarms signal if unit operates ±10% of set speed preventing shaker from walking
• User adjustable speed calibration can be performed using a digital hand held tachometer where verification is required and protocols can be standardized
• Unbalanced load sensor stops platform motion when excess vibration is detected due to an unbalanced load. Visual/audible alarm signal until condition is corrected
• Soft start feature eliminates splashing of vessel contents, wetting of flask closure, and helps prevent sudden starts and stops
• Set point retention retains parameters during power failure and restarts unit automatically after power is restored
• RS232 interface allows remote monitoring of speed, time and temperature
• Monitor temperature with built-in recorder jack for output to chart recorders for a permanent record

Safety

• Over temperature safety feature with independent thermostat provides additional backup by controlling heat if main temperature controller fails
• Safety interlock stops platform motion when the lid is open
