What is a Shaking Incubator?

Incubator-shaker combination for controlled temperature and platform movement.

Simultaneous incubation and agitation of liquid cultures, microbial samples and other laboratory preparations that require controlled shaking.

How does a Shaking Incubator work?

A temperature-controlled chamber is combined with a motor-driven shaking platform so samples can be incubated and agitated at the same time.

Common laboratory uses

Simultaneous incubation and agitation of liquid cultures, microbial samples and other laboratory preparations that require controlled shaking.

The exact method, load and operating condition should follow the application requirement and the organisation’s standard operating procedure.

Planning a shaking incubator enquiry

The equipment combines controlled incubation with mechanical agitation of secured vessels. Shaking moves liquid within the vessels; the result depends on vessel geometry, working fill, speed and orbit as well as temperature. A speed value alone cannot define culture performance.

Match the configuration to the procedure

Combining incubation with movement requires attention to the sample vessels and platform loading. Specify the required speed, temperature and vessel arrangement so the proposed configuration can be checked.

What should be included in a flask-loading enquiry?

Provide the flask sizes, count, working liquid volume and required agitation conditions. Ask which platform and clamps are supplied, and how the selected arrangement affects the usable loading capacity.

Plan care before installation

Check that vessels are properly secured and the load is arranged as instructed. Clean spills promptly after safe shutdown. Investigate unusual vibration before resuming work.

Review the Shaking Incubator specifications and available configurations before preparing a purchase request. Keep the required performance separate from any optional items, and ask for each included accessory to be identified in the quotation.
