Areas of application for incubator shakers

We offer you powerful laboratory shakers from selected brand manufacturers with a wide range of functions, adjustable speed and optimum performance. They can be used for a wide range of applications. Compared to classic incubators, you can preset various sideways and circular movements for incubation shakers. This prevents the formation of a so-called film. This is a very thin biofilm on the surface of the samples. The presence of a film can impair the test and examination results. We have the right devices for every need and every project. For example, for the following areas of application:

  • for the cultivation of microorganisms in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology and microbiology

  • for cultivating bacterial and cell culture in bacteriology and virology

  • for the cultivation of tissue cultures in human medicine

  • for shelf life testing of foodstuffs in the food industry

  • for the preparation of soil and water samples in environmental analysis

  • for mixing media with a view to producing homogeneous liquids and suspensions

Design of shaking incubators

A modern top hinge incubator shaker such as those from IKA or Phoenix Instrument essentially consist of a well-protected, transparent chamber, a temperature controller, a timer and a movable base plate. These are the basic segments of an incubator shaker, which are supplemented by additional functions and controllers depending on the area of application. It is important to ensure a constant temperature inside the sh aker. The supply of heating, cooling or fresh air from outside is also often necessary to ensure an adequate supply of samples.

Useful features at a glance:

  • Heating elements

  • Cooling devices and capacity for your samples

  • Fresh air supply from outside

  • temperature control and touch screen control

  • Digital control (often via touchscreen) of temperature, speed range and shaking speed

  • timing device

  • cell aeration

  • optional refrigeration

  • safety features

  • Movable or rotating base plate for ideal shaking

The movable platform inside the incubator shaker can be individually adjusted. Depending on the project, for example, continuous, circular movements are required. Other structures, on the other hand, require gentle shaking movements from left to right or from top to bottom. Head-over-head rotations are also possible. Get in touch with us. We will be happy to help you find the right incubator shakers for your laboratory or institute.

Tips for buying an incubator shaker

At MedSolut, we offer professional incubator shakers with excellent performance and optimal temperature range for every need. To help you find the perfect device for your area of work and for carrying out specific projects, it is important to consider the following purchasing criteria for the device and accessories as important information:

Cultivation

Which samples or structures are to be cultivated? Depending on the device, different types of growth and development are covered. For example, with regard to the optimum temperature and speed ranges, shaking stroke, lighting, humidity conditions, etc.

Vessels

Specific types of containers are required in terms of number and size. Their weight and material properties also play an important role here. Do you need a shaker for stackable systems or do you prefer classic containers?

Load

What is the average weight load when loading the shaking incubator? The focus here is not only on the weight of the samples themselves, but also on the size and weight of the containers.

Space

Select the device based on the space requirements. The average space requirement and the sample and material quantities involved play a role in this context. Take into account that there should be at least half a meter of space around the incubator.

Screening application

If screening applications are required, stacking systems for plates can be used to successively increase the performance portfolio of the device. This ensures that a large number of tests and examinations can be carried out at the same time . Take advantage of our advice and find out more about the benefits of the corresponding shakers.

Safety (e.g. spillage and contamination)

For perfect results, it is essential to exclude or minimize damage to materials or components caused by spilled liquids. Therefore, the following are of little value

  • the collection of liquid substances,

  • smooth surfaces that are easy to clean,

  • and, last but not least, an antimicrobial design of the external and internal surfaces of the appliance.

Temperature distribution

Sensitive materials must be handled with the utmost care. The temperature distribution inside the shaking incubator also plays a role. In addition, uniform and solid air circulation within the chamber must be ensured.

Frequent sampling

Shaking incubators with special monitoring and control systems help to prevent vibrations when taking samples. Even opening and closing the chamber can have a detrimental effect on sampling.

Qualification

Certain applications require the validation of work processes. This requires the use of special bioprocess software . It records user actions and other occurrences and thus makes the relevant processes transparent. Do you need an incubator shaker that can be qualified? We will be happy to help you make the right choice.
