Benchmark Incu-Shaker™ Series

The Incu-Shaker™ Series by Benchmark Scientific is designed to provide precisely regulated temperature control combined with orbital shaking, ideal for a variety of biological and chemical applications. These versatile units are optimized for incubating and mixing samples in Erlenmeyer flasks, microplates, and test tubes, making them essential for cell culture, protein analysis, and many other laboratory workflows.

Key Features:

• Compact and Efficient Design: The Incu-Shaker Mini is the most compact model in the series, featuring a footprint of only 11.5 x 9.5 in, ideal for laboratories with limited space. Despite its compact size, the unit is capable of holding up to 50 ml flasks and offers excellent performance for sample mixing and incubation.
• Adjustable Orbital Shaking: With a shaking speed range from 30 to 300 rpm, the units provide gentle yet effective mixing. The orbital motion is optimized for the efficient mixing of cell cultures, buffers, and other laboratory samples.
• Temperature Control: The Incu-Shaker Mini offers precise temperature control ranging from ambient +5°C to 70°C, with increments of 1°C, while the Incu-Shaker 10L and Incu-Shaker 10LR models offer similar temperature ranges from ambient +5°C to 60°C (increments of 0.1°C). These models also include temperature uniformity of ±0.5°C, ensuring consistent conditions for your samples.
• Touchscreen Control: The Incu-Shaker Mini features a color touchscreen display for easy operation, allowing you to set and monitor temperature, speed, and time. The display shows actual and set values in real-time, giving you full control over the process.
• Magic Clamp™ Technology: The Incu-Shaker models come with MAGic Clamp™ platforms that provide easy and secure clamping for flasks and test tubes of various sizes, preventing accidents and ensuring uniform shaking.
• Enhanced Capacity: The Incu-Shaker 10L and Incu-Shaker 10LR models come with a larger platform (18 x 18 in), capable of holding more plates or flasks. The 10LR model includes refrigerated functionality, offering temperature control as low as -10°C, making it ideal for sensitive samples.
• Over-Temperature and Over-Speed Protection: Built-in protection features ensure the shaker will automatically shut off in the event of temperature or speed malfunction, protecting your samples and ensuring long-term durability.
