Shaking Incubator
Product Code : EL-IO-10983
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A heavy-duty shaking incubator with a 45 x 45 cm platform, ambient +5 to 60 degrees C, variable 30 to 300 rpm on a 19 mm orbit, holding temperature to +/-0.1 degrees C with +/-0.25 degrees C uniformity. Capacity up to 5 x 2 L. Weight 55 kg.
Shaking and incubating together is what bacterial culture needs: the shake keeps cells suspended and aerated while the incubator holds the growth temperature. This unit is built for that as a continuous duty, with a brushless induction drive the listing describes as intended to give years of trouble-free operation.
The published performance is strong. Temperature range is ambient +5 to 60 degrees C with accuracy of +/-0.1 degrees C, uniformity of +/-0.25 degrees C and 0.1 degree increments. Shaking is variable from 30 to 300 rpm in 1 rpm steps on a 3/4 inch (19 mm) orbit, with a timer from 1 minute to 48 hours or continuous. The 45 x 45 cm platform takes up to 5 x 2 L, which is a serious culture capacity.
A standard non-slip platform is included, suited to tissue culture flasks, staining trays and Petri dishes as supplied, with an optional Universal Platform available for flask clamps. Note the temperature floor: ambient +5 degrees C, meaning this heats but does not cool, so it cannot hold a temperature below the room. In a laboratory without air conditioning during an Indian summer, a 30 degree set point may be unreachable.
At 51 x 65 x 47 cm and 55 kg this is a substantial instrument; confirm bench loading or plan for a floor stand.
Note on the published data: the body text of the original listing gives temperature uniformity as 0.25 per cent, while its specification table gives +/-0.25 degrees C. The table figure is used above, as a percentage is not a meaningful unit for temperature uniformity. Confirm the figure with the supplier.

This listing publishes a full specification. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering: the published electrical specification is 115 V, which is not the Indian mains standard; ask whether a 220 to 240 V, 50 Hz version is available for your destination. Note that the unit heats only: the temperature floor is ambient +5 degrees C, so set points below room temperature are not achievable. The maximum load the platform will carry at 300 rpm is not stated.
