Shaker incubators for controlled culture growth and agitation

Start by considering the type of cultures you grow, the vessel sizes you use, and the shaking speed required for your experiments. Platform capacity, temperature range, and chamber size should also match your workflow. If you’re unsure which configuration suits your application, our team can provide recommendations based on your lab setup and research needs.

Orbit size affects how effectively cultures mix and oxygenate. Larger orbit sizes improve mixing in larger flasks, while smaller orbits are often better suited for microplates or smaller vessels. The right choice depends on your vessel types and culture volumes.

Think about how many flasks or vessels you typically run at once, and whether your experiments may scale in the future. Choosing a shaker incubator with a slightly larger platform can help support higher throughput without needing additional equipment later.

Yes. High-quality shaker incubators are designed to minimise vibration and noise, which improves comfort and protects sensitive experiments.

It’s best to plan for maintenance and calibration from the point of installation to ensure reliable performance and accurate temperature control. Many laboratories schedule annual calibration or routine performance checks, particularly in regulated environments. We can support this with maintenance, calibration, and thermal mapping services to help keep your equipment accurate and compliant over time. Speak to our team to learn more.
