MaxQ 2000 Benchtop Orbital Shaker 120V from Thermo Fisher Scientific

Features

• Platform sizes accept loads up to 35 lb. on the 2000 and 50 lb. on the 3000
• Operate in temperature ranges of 0° to 40°C (104°F), 20 to 80% noncondensing humidity
• Can be used in a variety of incubators, warm rooms, environmental chambers and refrigerators
• Digital models feature a maintenance-free, solid-state DC brushless motor

Analog Models

• Variable speed from 40 to 400rpm, controlled by a rotary dial monitored accurately by a traditional tachometer
• Perform timed studies with timed operation from 1 to 60 min. or operate shaker in continuous mode

Digital Models

• Variable speed control from 15 to 500rpm
• Continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hr. up to 999 hr. or 0.1 min. to 999 min.
• Minimize errors: speed and operating time display simultaneously on two individual LED displays
• 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
• Retains parameters during power failure and restarts unit automatically after power is restored
• RS232 interface allows remote monitoring of speed and time

CO₂-Resistant Digital Operating System

• Electrical and mechanical components treated to protect them from up to 10% CO₂ and 95% noncondensing humidity
• Prevents humidity and CO₂ from reacting with electrical components and forming carbolic acid
