Benchmark™ Orbi-Shaker CO2™
- For optimal growth of suspension cells
- Designed for use in CO2 incubators
- CO2, temperature, and humidity compatible
- Remote controllable - adjust settings without opening the incubator door
- Change flask clamps instantly with MAGic Clamp™ magnetic platforms
- 2-year warranty
The new Orbi-Shaker CO2™ resistant shaker is designed for shaking, mixing, and aeration applications in extreme environments, including CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 0-60ºC, humidity levels up to 100%, and won't corrode in a CO2 environment.
To avoid contamination, unintentional release of gas, or deviations from protocol, both speed and time are set via the included remote-control module. The remote controller allows the user to set and adjust the shaker settings without opening the chamber doors.
The instrument is supplied with a 13"x12" non-slip platform. In addition, convenient MAGic Clamp™ platforms (large or small), are also available for use with Erlenmeyer flasks and test tube racks. The unique magnetic attachment method has been widely recognized as the easiest way to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes.
Orbi-Shaker™ XL
The Orbi-Shaker™ XL offers a flask capacity that far exceeds that of most benchtop models. With a large 18 x 18 In. platform and a powerful, beltless motor drive, the Orbi-Shaker™ XL is capable of mixing up to five 2 L flasks or nine 1 L flasks simultaneously. The included, non-slip rubber mat platform is ideal for low-speed applications, while the convenient MAGic Clamp™ platform is also available for high-speed mixing of Erlenmeyer flasks, tube racks, or microplates. The MAGic Clamp™ allows for instant flask clamp exchange without the use of tools, screws, or any other hardware.
A remote control is included to allow for setting adjustments of time or mixing speed without opening the door and disrupting the CO2 environment. The remote module can be stored outside of the chamber and connects to the shaker via a flat (1 mm thickness) cable, that easily passes through a port underneath the incubator door without compromising the seal. The remote module is magnetically attached to the side of the incubator.
Benchmark™ Incu-Shaker™ CO2 Mini
- Six-side direct heating for excellent uniformity and recovery
- Integral, MAGic Clamp™ orbital shaker, ideal for suspension cell culture
- Dual Beam IR sensor, for precise CO2 control
- Stackable design with a belt-less motor that limits vibration and provides a smooth, consistent shaking motion
- Stainless steel chamber with rounded corners for easy cleaning
Ideal for the culturing of non-adherent cells, the Incu-Shaker™ CO2 Mini combines a precision CO2 incubation chamber with an integral orbital shaker, providing the optimum conditions for suspension cell culture.
With our unique and proprietary heat distribution technology, the incubator provides the highest levels of temperature accuracy with minimal fluctuation (within 0.1°C). The six-side heating system in combination with a low-speed internal fan uniformly spreads air throughout the stainless steel chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). For applications requiring solely gravity convection, this internal fan can be disabled, significantly reducing the concern of sample-to-sample contamination.
A beltless motor drive provides a horizontally circular shaking motion at a consistent 19 mm orbit. The included platform (9.5 x 11.5 in.) can be used for low-speed shaking of a variety of laboratory vessels, including Erlenmeyer flasks, culture plates, and media bottles. For high-speed mixing, a patented MAGic Clamp™ platform is available that allows for magnetic attachment of flask clamps and tube racks.
