Thermo Scientific™ MaxQ™ 8000 Incubated Stackable Shaker Packages

Description

With three times the capacity of a floor shaker in virtually the same footprint, these units are ideal for high-volume research or scale-up work. They are built both for sensitive eukaryotic culture applications—with contamination-reducing HEPA filtration, coved corner design, single-piece chamber, and tight temperature uniformity—and for demanding prokaryotic culture applications, with rugged construction, wide speed range, and no limits on “hard shake” speed, even when stacked three-high.

Microprocessor Control/Monitoring System

• Run and setpoints displayed simultaneously
• Tracks total accumulated time on motor and drive systems
• Audible/visual over- and undertemperature tracking alarms ensure product protection
• Separate adjustable overtemperature safety alarm with independent probe provides additional backup on heated units
• Audible/visual, high/low rpm tracking alarms alert to speed deviations
• Alarms can be silenced temporarily and ring back as a reminder of unresolved alarm conditions
• Remote alarm contacts for convenient monitoring from another location
• Nonvolatile memory saves settings during a power outage and automatically restarts the unit after power is restored
• RS-232 port is standard and permits computer interface and monitoring of time, temperature and speed
• Controlled acceleration circuitry provides smooth start-up and stopping to eliminate splashing and wetting of flask closures
• Functions can be calibrated easily through the keypad and sealed control panel

• Backlit two-line, 40-character LCD alphanumeric display of actual (run) and setpoint parameters and alarm condition
• Icons/buttons allow easy programming of set parameters
• Time: Counts upward, showing total operating hours and minutes for the run
• Speed: Displays the actual platform speed (rpm) and speed set points
• Temp C: Displays the actual temperature inside the chamber and temperature set points

• Electronic components and HEPA filter easily accessed from the front during regular maintenance or service
• Flip-down handle/latch on quick-release base (included) prevents shaker from running if platform is not secured
• Insulated, fold-down door with slide-out platform provides 100% sample access
• Wide-view window and xenon light provide high visibility for harvesting
• Top platform height is under 61 in. (154.9cm) when units are stacked three high
• Heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel exterior
• Type 304 stainless-steel chamber with coved corners and built-in drain; holds 2L Erlenmeyer flasks, has xenon light with switch
• Magnetic door gasket for tight seal
• Stacking kit is included with each shaker at no additional cost

• Heavy-duty, eccentric drive mechanism allows extended speed ranges from 25 to 400rpm ±1rpm with minimal vibration, even when shakers are stacked three high
• Durable, dynamically balanced orbital shaker mechanism ensures optimum oxygenation and nutrient mixing, reduced cell clumping, and prevention of splashing and flask wetting
• Triple counterbalanced mechanism provides optimum handling of full or unbalanced loads, regardless of flask placement
• Cool-running, brushless, 1/3hp DC motor ensures continuous maintenance-free operation
• Forced laminar airflow through the HEPA filter provides excellent temperature uniformity, reduces risk of cross-contamination
