Thermo Scientific™ MaxQ™ 5000 Floor-Model Shakers
Complete large capacity applications with ease. Combine incubated and refrigerated temperatures with an orbital shaker for large capacity applications.
Manufacturer: Thermo Scientific™ SHKA5000
Description
Complete large capacity applications with ease using the Thermo Scientific™ MaxQ™ 5000 Floor-Model Shakers, versatile incubated/refrigerated units featuring an easy side-access drain system, making cleaning spills easy and retractable foot casters to easily position the shaker in the lab. These shakers also feature a foot pedal for hands-free operation and a large slanted viewing window to check progress. Ideal for cell culture, solubility studies, plasmid purification, staining and destaining, extraction procedures, protein expression and many other applications.
Key Features:- Easily accommodate six 4L flasks, four 6L flasks or six 2800mL Fernbach flasks
- Wide temperature range: 10°C above ambient to 60°C on incubated models, 15°C below ambient to 60°C on refrigerated models
- Monitor and control chamber temperature range with ±0.1°C accuracy at 37°C
- Overtemperature safety feature with independent thermostat provides additional backup by controlling heat if main temperature controller fails
- Triple eccentric drive handles heavy loads, uniform agitation and continuous 24 hr. operation, even at high speeds
- Drip pan built into the chamber floor under the platform contains spills
- Clear, scratch-resistant lid for sample viewing
- With foot pedal for hands-free operation and retractable casters for portability
- Optional shelf provides additional storage space and convenience when switching flasks
- Access ports provided through side of cabinet wall for probes, thermocouples or sensors
- Optional gassing manifold enables direct gassing into flasks for anaerobic cultures
Analog Models:
- Easy-to-read LED digital temperature display
- Perform timed studies with timed operation from 1 to 60 minutes or operate shaker in continuous mode
Digital Models:
- Variable speed control from 15 to 500rpm
- Continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hour up to 999 hours or 0.1 to 999 min.
- View speed, time and temperature simultaneously on three separate LED digital displays
- Visual/audible alarms alert to temperature deviations; heat turns off if temperature deviates ±1°C of setpoint
- Shaker shutdown and audible/visual alarms signal if unit operates ±10% of set speed, preventing the shaker from walking
- Soft-start feature eliminates sudden starts and stops, splashing of vessel contents or wetting of flask closure
- 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
- Retains parameters during power failure and restarts unit automatically after power is restored
- Solid-state DC brushless motor is maintenance-free
- RS-232 interface allows remote monitoring of speed, time and temperature
