Thermo Scientific Thermolyne SHKE5000 Incubator Shaker

DISCONTINUED BY MANUFACTURER, PLEASE CALL FOR ALTERNATIVES

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.

Product Description

• Easy access drain system with quick disconnect fitting is located on the side of the cabinet for convenience in draining and disinfecting the system
• A drip pan is located directly underneath the platform to contain spills and protect the chamber from damage
• Foot pedal opens the door automatically for hands free operation
• Observe flask contents without opening the door through a large slanted viewing window
• Optional shelf provides additional storage space and convenience when switching flasks
• Optional access ports provided through side of cabinet wall for probes, thermocouple or sensors
• Optional gassing manifold enables direct gassing into flasks for anaerobic cultures

Operation

• Shakers feature a triple eccentric drive to handle heavy workloads, provide uniform agitation and enable continuous 24-hour operation even at high speeds
• Shakers feature a triple eccentric drive to handle heavy workloads, provide uniform agitation and enable continuous 24-hour operation even at high speeds
• For a complete system order: 1. Shaker 2. Platform 3. Clamps

Digital Operating System:

• Solid state DC brushless motor, variable speed control from 15 to 500 rpm, and continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hour up to 999 hours or 0.1 minute to 999 minutes
• View speed, operating time and temperature simultaneously on three individual LED displays which helps minimize errors in establishing running conditions
• Visual/audible signals alert you to temperature deviations. Heat turns off if temperature deviates ±1°C of set point
• Shaker shut down 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 hand held tachometer where verification is required and protocols can be standardized
• Unbalanced load sensor stops platform motion when excess vibration is detected due to unbalanced load. Visual/audible alarm signal until condition is corrected
• Soft start feature eliminates splashing of vessel contents, wetting of flask closure, and helps prevent sudden starts and stops
• Set point retention retains parameters during power failure and restarts unit automatically after power is restored
• RS232 interface allows remote monitoring of speed, time and temperature

Safety

• Over temperature safety feature with independent thermostat provides additional backup by controlling heat if main temperature controller fails
