- Ideal for cell culture, solubility studies, extraction procedures, protein expression, and more.
- Smooth shaking in a 3/4-inch (1.9 cm) triple eccentric orbital drive.
- Spacious 18 x 18 inch platform accommodates up to six 2L flasks.
- Memory retains all set points and automatically reactivates after power is restored.
- Visual, user-adjustable over-temperature safety signal with independent thermostat controls in case the main controller fails.
The Barnstead MaxQ 4000 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 40 to 400 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 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
