Barnstead MaxQ 4000 Digital Orbital Incubator Shaker
The Barnstead MaxQ 4000 Model: SHKE4000 (4328) combines orbital shaking technology with benchtop design for a versatile shaker ideal for cell culture, solubility studies, extraction procedures, protein expression, and many other applications. The MaxQ 4000 features shaking speeds from 15 to 500 RPM around a 0.75 inch orbit with a temperature range of 10°C above ambient to 60°C. Spacious 18 x 18 inch platform allows for higher vessel capacity for up to six 2L flasks. The MaxQ 4000's clear, scratch-resistant lid allows for unobstructed sample viewing without disturbing the chamber. PID temperature controller provides ±0.1°C temperature accuracy at 37°C, and an independent over temperature feature provides a backup temperature controller for added safety.
This incubator shaker will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Barnstead MaxQ 4000 Digital Orbital Incubator Shaker includes:
- > 18 x 18 in Platform
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
