• Shake and incubate samples simultaneously
• Complete with shaking racks for 15ml and 50ml conical tubes
• Intelligent, digital control
• Broad temperature and speed range

Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 1550 is supplied with interchangeable platforms for standard 15ml and 50ml conical tubes. Maximum capacity is 8 x 50mL or 18 x 15mL. Temperature in the VorTemp 1550 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures and digestions. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 1550 may also be used in the cold room for subambient applications.

Shaking speed as well as acceleration rates are adjustable. Acceleration can be set to three different levels to protect delicate samples.

A microprocessor controls all parameters including temperature and timed operation. Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors the unit for proper temperature and shaking speed, alerting the user to any errors. Heating and shaking are controlled by feedback loops which precisely maintain chosen parameters, independent of load or voltage fluctuations.

The sturdy construction of the VorTemp 1550 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.

Four platform configurations allow the Orbit 1000 Digital Shaker to meet a variety of shaking and mixing applications. Single and double flat platforms hold trays, plates and dishes. The double platform allows for expansion of the shaker capacity without increasing the footprint. The universal platform has spring loaded bars that adjust to fit flasks, bottles, tube racks and odd shaped containers. Predrilled to hold Erlenmeyer clamps (clamps sold separately), the flask platform is ideal for mixing and growing cultures. Platforms are removable and interchangeable.

At the heart of the Orbit 1000 are a powerful brushless motor and counter balanced shaker mechanism that provide smooth operation and years of trouble-free use. Speed and time are set with an analog knob, while the set and current values are displayed digitally. Speed is adjustable over a broad range to allow for applications such as staining and destaining gels, growth of bacterial cultures and hybridization. The Orbit 1000 Digital Shaker is safe for use in temperature controlled environments. Its small footprint and low profile make it ideal for use in incubators. Platforms sold separately.

Benchmark Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP All Environment Shaker for Microplates

• Designed for use in CO2 incubators and other extreme environments
• Remote controlled, adjust settings without exposing chamber
• 3 mm orbit for thorough mixing of well plates
• Includes 6 position microplate platform

The Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP is designed for thorough mixing of microplates in extreme environments such as CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 4° to 65°C and humidity levels up to 100%.

To extend the lifetime of the shaker, all the electronics are in a remote-control module that is placed outside the chamber. This has the added advantage of adjusting the shaker speed and time without opening the chamber door and disturbing the interior environment. The controller's thin, flat cord will not interfere with the door seal and the unit can magnetically mount to the outer housing of the incubator. A 6 position microplate platform is included and secures both standard or deep well plates.

Specifications

• Exclusive SmartChek temperature control system
• Stackable design saves space
• Full range of accessories available
• Internal electrical outlet


A small footprint, compact, stackable design and expanded temperature range make the 211DS incubators ideal for molecular biology and general use. Its integral orbital shaker makes it highly versatile.

MIDSCI's exclusive SmartChek temperature control system guarantees precise temperature control. Mechanical convection maintains a stable temperature environment and provides quick recovery after opening the door. A safety thermostat is located on the back of the unit. The insulated door has a large, double glass observation panel and opens nearly 180° for easy access.

Two full and one half shelf are supplied with each incubator. A flat platform and predrilled flask platform (clamps sold separately) are available for the 211DS.

Internal electrical outlet allows using small equipment such as GyroMini or Mini LabRoller Rotator inside the chamber of the 211DS.
