Thermo MaxQ Incubating Shaker

Description

The MaxQ 4000 is an incubating orbital shaker with a spacious 45 x 45 cm platform, suitable for up to six 2 L flasks. The clear scratch-resistant lid allows unobstructed sample monitoring without disrupting the chamber temperature. The shaker is suitable for general mixing, as well as a wide variety of specialised applications, including plasmid purification, bacterial suspensions, staining and destaining, washing procedures and hybridisations.

Features of the Thermo MaxQ 4000 Incubating Shaker:

Variable speed control from 15 to 500 rpm
View speed, temperature and time simultaneously on three individual LED displays which helps minimize errors in establishing running conditions
Continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hr. up to 999 hr. or 0.1 min. to 999 min.
Shaker shutdown and audible/visual alarms signal if unit operates ±10% of set speed, preventing shaker from walking
User-adjustable speed calibration can be performed using a digital handheld tachometer, where verification is required and protocols can be standardized
Unbalanced load sensor stops platform motion when excess vibration is detected and visual/audible alarms signal until condition is corrected
Soft-start feature eliminates sudden starts and stops, splashing of vessel contents or wetting of flask closure
Solid-state DC brushless motor is maintenance free
Triple eccentric drive delivers uniform motion with 0.75 in. (19mm) circular orbit
Timed or continuous-run modes
Clear, scratch-resistant lid for sample viewing
Safety interlock stops platform when lid is opened
Precisely monitor temperature and control chamber temperature over complete range with ±0.1C accuracy at 37°C with PID temperature controller
Over temperature safety feature with independent thermostat provides additional backup by controlling heat if main temperature controller fails
