Key Features and Specifications

Performance and Precision

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from ambient +5°C to 100°C (ambient +9°F to 212°F), making it suitable for a variety of heating applications.
• Accurate Control: Features PID microprocessor control for precise regulation of both temperature and shaking speed. It maintains exceptional temperature stability (±0.1°C at 50°C) and a shaking speed accuracy up to 200 rpm.
• Superior Temperature Uniformity: The reciprocal shaking motion ensures excellent heat distribution and a smooth, powerful agitation, preventing direct heat damage to samples and ensuring uniform mixing.
• Advanced Calibration: Equipped with 3-point temperature and 1-point shaking calibration capabilities for enhanced accuracy and performance validation.
• Optimized Bath Design: The internal bath structure and powerful circulation pump are engineered to promote a smooth, consistent flow of water, guaranteeing temperature uniformity throughout the chamber. The extended bath height accommodates larger sample volumes, including flasks up to 2.8L.

User Convenience

• Intuitive Interface: An easy-to-use, full-color touch display allows for simple programming and real-time monitoring of all parameters.
• Automated Operation: Features a built-in automatic On/Off timer that can be programmed for up to 999 hours and 59 minutes, allowing for unattended operation.
• Easy Maintenance: A conveniently located drain port on the side of the unit simplifies the process of emptying and cleaning the bath.
• Data Management: A standard USB port allows for easy connection to a PC for data logging, recording, and remote monitoring of experiments.
• Thoughtful Design: The transparent, gable-roof cover is uniquely designed to prevent condensed water from dripping onto samples, protecting their integrity. A corrosion-resistant stainless-steel spring wire rack is included as a standard accessory.

Advanced Safety Features

• Comprehensive Alarms: The system is equipped with audio and visual alarms that activate for water shortages, temperature and RPM deviations, and sensor abnormalities.
• Automatic Shutdown: In the event of a low water level, the heater automatically shuts down to prevent overheating and damage to the unit.
• Electrical Protection: Built-in over-current and short-circuit protection safeguards the device and the user.

Optional Add-ons

• Mobile Monitoring: A mobile monitoring system allows for real-time control and monitoring of temperature and RPM via a mobile device.
• GMP Compliance: Can be integrated with the LC DataKeeper software, which is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, making it suitable for use in regulated environments and GMP audits.
