DESCRIPTION
The Force Digital Bench Top Incubated Shaker combines
microprocessor-
based temperature control and timing with variable shaking speed
in a controlled
environment chamber. The unit is designed for growing and
maintaining cultures
and microorganisms in ambient air or inert gas environments
and is ideal for cell,
tissue and bacterial culture studies.
Interchangeable 18” x 18” (46 x 46m) shaking platforms are available
which can accommodate a wide range of sizes and numbers of flasks, beakers
and test tubes. These are ordered separately to meet specific requirements.
A clear plastic cover allows unobstructed viewing of samples as they are
being shaken in the incubating atmosphere. A lid switch turns off the shaker
when the cover is raised. Shaking resumes when the cover is closed.
The temperature range is from a5ºC to 60ºC. To protect
against overheating, the controlling microprocessor will shut off the heaters in
the
event the temperature exceeds the setpoint by 2ºC. This is supplemented by an
overt-temperature safety system consisting of an independent hydraulic
thermostat set by the user at a temperature slightly higher than the setpoint.
Heat control is PID with an RTD temperature sensor. Heated air is
circulated in the chamber by a blower positioned in the back plenum.
Shaker speed range is 15 to 500 rpm; however, maximum safe-speed for
a load may be less than 500 rpm.
Timing can be selected in intervals of 0.1 to 99.9 minutes or hours. In
addition, unit can be set for continuous operation with "time elapsed" indication.
Optional accessories include a factory installed cooling coil which
produces below-ambient temperature control in the chamber, a factory installed
gassing manifold which permits gas injection of up to a maximum of 8 vessels
and a portable light bank for studies of photosynthesis.
