PR1MA™ Mini HC Shaking Incubator

 

The PR1MA™ Mini HC Heating and Cooling Shaking Incubator delivers high-performance environmental control in an ultra-compact benchtop footprint. Designed for laboratories working with temperature-sensitive reactions, it features a quiet, HFC-free Peltier cooling system capable of reaching temperatures down to -8ºC below ambient and up to 50ºC above ambient, making it ideal for applications requiring precise incubation at or below room temperature.

 

Featuring a full-color touchscreen interface with advanced multi-step interval programming, the PR1MA™ Mini HC provides complete, automated control over complex incubation and shaking protocols.

 

Despite its compact 11 In. width, the PR1MA™ Mini HC features a generous 11.5 x 9.5 In. internal workspace that accommodates tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, microplates, and Erlenmeyer flasks up to 1 L. The unit comes standard with a non-slip, rubber-coated platform for basic liquid handling and staining applications.

 

For maximum versatility, the incubator integrates seamlessly with the patented MAGic Clamp™ platform system. Unlike traditional screw-in platforms that require tools and restrict placement, the magnetic mounting system allows users to snap flask clamps and tube racks on or off instantly.

  • Broad temperature and speed range to meet a variety of applications

Like the popular MultiTherm™, the MultiTherm™ Touch features a broad temperature range to meet applications from denaturation of DNA to keeping samples cold (4°C) at the end of a protocol. An expanded speed range (to 3,000 rpm), full-color touch screen, greater flexibility in programming, and heated lid option set this new unit apart.

All operating parameters are easily entered and viewed on the large, full-color, touch screen. Fifty programs can be stored, each including up to 5 steps. Programming features such as adjustable ramp rates, interval and directional mixing and preheat options can be set. A “short” button allows for immediate mixing at maximum speed. Fifteen block choices accommodate samples from 0.2 mL to 50 mL as well as a variety of plates. Blocks are quickly and easily interchanged without the use of tools and are automatically recognized by the software. Insulation protects the users from hot surfaces and helps to maintain block temperature.

Condensation can have negative effects on delicate samples and reactions by changing the concentration of reactants. The heated lid option, available for use with tubes up to 5ml and microplates, protects samples by warming the air in the tube and preventing condensation. Easy to use and reliable in operation, the MultiTherm Touch is covered by a 2-year warranty. Blocks and heated lid are sold separately.

Incu-Shaker™ - Stackable Shaking Incubator

The new Benchmark Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR introduce a high-throughput, space saving shaking incubator system to the Incu-Shaker™ family. Now with stacking capability of up to 2 units, the Incu-Shaker™ 20 series are highly space-efficient without compromising on reliability or temperature performance. Thoroughly tested for years of reliable performance, the same proven brushless induction motor drive is featured as in other Incu-Shaker™ instruments. The high grade stainless-steel internal chambers provide temperature accuracy within ±0.1°C, and industry-leading uniformity within the chamber of ±0.5°C. The Incu-Shaker™ 20L features temperature control from 5°C above ambient temperatures up to 60°C. The 20LR features a built-in powerful compressor, allowing for cooling down to 4°C, even while the shaker is in use, up to 60°C.

The increased chamber size now allows for up to 4 5-Liter Erlenmeyer flasks to be in use at once. Usable space is maximized by providing adjustable shelving above the shaker platforms, which can be used for incubation of Petri dishes, cell culture plates, or other smaller vessels. Even when two stacked units are working, the noise and vibration levels are significantly minimized by the advanced, computer-designed motor isolation system.

The Incu-Shaker™ 20 series feature a non-slip rubber mat platform, and can be outfitted with Benchmark’s MAGic Clamp™ universal magnetic platform. Magnetic flask attachment accessories can then be used, allowing for easy, toolless addition and removal of flasks from the shaker. Flask clamps of most sizes, tube racks, and other magnetic vessel holders are available and usable with the Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR. The Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR are now available for efficient, repeatable growth culture and other applications. 

Main Attributes

  • Stainless steel chamber provides premier temperature uniformity
  • Proven reliable, maintenance-free Incu-Shaker™ motor drive system
  • Bright, intuitive touch-screen controls
  • Instantly change flask clamps with MAGic Clamp™ accessories
  • Included pull-out adjustable shelf for static incubations 

AEOLUS™ Compact CO2 Incubator Shaker

The CO2 Incubator Shaker features Temperature, Shaking, CO2 Concentration, and Humidity controls. Its' stackable design helps maximize floor space, with the capability to stack up to three units high.

Three axis eccentric balance system provides stable and reliable shaking. Terminal feedback system ensures precise shaking speed. Brushless DC motor is highly efficient, quiet, durable, and produces negligible heat that does not affect the chamber temperature. Combination of Proportional-Integral Derivative control and Fuzzy control for temperature ensure temperature accuracy within ±0.1°C.

Program mode allows user to set up to 12 segments of varying temperature and speed. Innovative design. Highly efficient inverter compressor refrigeration allows for temperatures as low as 18°C below room temperature with low energy consumption (minimum temperature of 4°C). Infrared CO2 sensor provides accurate and reliable CO2 detection (IS-ACMA only). Intuitive 7” capacitive touchscreen makes many functions, such as setting alarm parameters, easy to complete. Slide rail platform makes it easy to load and unload fixtures. Noise reduction design keeps the instrument noise level to 55 dB Wifi monitoring allows the user to stay in touch with the instrument even outside of the lab.


Features:

  • High Resolution 7-inch Color Touch Screen: Modular display presents instrument status and function values in a clear and concise manner. Innovative chamber design features smooth rounded internal corners for easy cleaning
  • Capacitive Touch Screen: The capacitive screen is more responsive and durable than a resistance screen as there is no reaction delay when the screen is pressed. Optional WiFi and RS485 control 2 Sets of UV lights for easy sterilization
  • Screen Lock: The display screen has an automatic lock screen with password protection function. This prevents any accidental or unauthorized alterations of the programmed operations or settings.
  • Pull Out Rail Platform: Operators can easily pull the platform out to load or unload fixtures. Only one locking handle in the middle of the platform makes the process fast and convenient.
  • Excellent Temperature Control Performance: When the incubator is at a stable temperature of 37°C, the uniformity is ±0.3°C.
  • Strong Cooling Capacity: The incubator chamber can be cooled to 18°C below the ambient temperature (Lowest temp is 4°C).
  • Inverter Compressor: Makes cooling a noiseless, durable, and highly efficient process while also saving energy.
  • Three Units Can Be Stacked: This product can be purchased as a single, double, or triple stack.
  • Bi-Directional Ultraviolet Sterilization: The chamber is equipped with two sets of UV sterilization light components to enhance the germicidal irradiation effect and reach all areas of the chamber.
  • Ultra Quiet Design: The noise level is less than 55dB when incubator is running and cooling (loudest process), providing a quiet environment for the operator.
  • Slow Acceleration and Deceleration: Shaking function starts and stops slowly to prevent large shear forces on the bacteria or cells. High Pressure Water Rinse: Both the platform and chamber feature an integrated draining system that is fast and efficient.
  • Efficient and Durable Insulation: Foamed Polyurethane insulation provides advanced thermal insulation. The material is also air-tight, waterproof, lightweight, shockproof, electrically insulated, heat resistant, cold resistant, and solvent resistant
