Save valuable lab space with Thermo Scientific™ MaxQ™ 8000 Incubated Stackable Shakers, designed to be stacked two to three high on the floor without sacrificing performance. These stackable shakers have the durability to run at top speed stacked three-high, contain a HEPA filter that ensures the air inside the chamber remains clean and reduces cross contamination, feature a slide out platform that provides convenient 100% sample access. The stacking kits are included with each unit at no additional cost.

Features:

Three times the capacity of a floor shaker in virtually the same footprint
Built for both 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
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

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

Construction:

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

Mechanics

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
