Product type
A shaking incubator is a laboratory device that combines the functions of an incubator and a shaker. It is designed to provide a controlled environment for the growth of microorganisms, cells, or other biological samples while simultaneously agitating them. This agitation enhances the mixing of cultures and the exchange of gases, which is vital for aerobic growth. Shaking incubators are typically made of stainless steel and feature adjustable temperature and speed settings to accommodate various experimental requirements.
| Temperature range | 5°C above ambient to 60°C |
| Speed range | 50 to 300 RPM |
| Capacity | Up to 10 liters |
| Platform dimensions | Typically 12 x 12 inches to 24 x 24 inches |
| Control type | Digital or analog |
When selecting a shaking incubator, consider the temperature range and speed settings that best suit your applications. Look for features such as digital controls for precise adjustments and a sturdy platform that can accommodate your sample sizes. Additionally, check for certifications such as ISO or CE marking, which may be important for regulatory compliance. Specify the required capacity and any additional features such as timers or alarms when requesting a quote.
