Performance features for demanding laboratory processes

The technical features and user-friendliness of the device make it the ideal solution for demanding temperature and mixing applications:

• Precise temperature control: Temperature range from ambient +5 °C to 99 °C, temperature stability and uniformity according to DIN 12876-3 of ±0.1 °C (at 70 °C).
• Flexible shaking function: Stepless adjustment of the linear shaking speed from 20-200 rpm, linear stroke length 20 mm, display resolution 1 rpm.
• Two model sizes: Available with either 12 l (LSB 12; shaking tray 240 × 235 mm) or 18 l (LSB 18; shaking tray 420 × 235 mm) bath volume. User-friendly QVGA TFT screen: Clear display of target/actual temperatures, pump speeds and status symbols for intuitive control.
• Programmable timer and alarm function: Timer adjustable from 1-999 minutes (or up to 99 hours / 59 minutes in extended mode), audible and visual alarms for maximum process reliability.
• USB connection and optional software: Connection to a PC via USB, optional Labwise software for convenient control and data acquisition.
• Highest level of safety: Overtemperature protection, low fluid level shutdown and drain tap for safe and easy operation.

Other features that increase flexibility and future-proofing include a powerful external circulation pump with a flow rate of up to 23 l/min and a pressure of up to 530 mbar, as well as the option of using different media such as water, glycol or oil, depending on the application.

Certifications and standards

The shaking bath complies with the requirements of DIN 12876-3 for temperature stability and uniformity. This certification ensures that the device meets the highest standards of precision, reliability and safety - essential for continuous operation in accredited and ISO-certified laboratories.

Fields of application in laboratories and science

This device is ideal for numerous applications in the analytical, preparative chemical and biological fields:

• Molecular biology and biochemistry: Incubation of cell cultures, enzyme reactions (e.g. proteinases, polymerases) and hybridisation experiments.
• Chemical synthesis: Performing temperature-controlled chemical reactions, emulsion studies, formulation tests and homogenisation.
• Pharmacy & quality control: Solubility analyses, stability studies and material tests - even when using solvents such as water, ethanol or glycol.
• Materials research: Temperature stressing of plastics, elastomers and metals with defined movement for calibration and stress tests.

Thanks to its precise control and uniform mixing, the device is particularly suitable for protocols in which even the smallest deviations in temperature or shaking intensity can influence the results.

FAQs about the shaking bath

Which media are compatible with the device?

• Suitable for water, water-glycol mixtures and special oils - please note the manufacturer's recommendations regarding maximum temperature and compatibility.

How is the temperature monitored?

• A digital control system continuously monitors the target and actual values. Acoustic and visual alarms indicate any deviations, and the overtemperature protection automatically intervenes if the limit value is exceeded.

Can the shaking speed be controlled precisely?

• Yes, the speed can be adjusted in 1 rpm increments and is controlled electronically.

How is the bath cleaned and maintained?

• An integrated drain tap facilitates emptying of the medium. The interior surfaces are easily accessible, durable and designed for regular cleaning.

Is external control and data transfer possible?

• The device can be connected to a computer via the USB interface. The optionally available Labwise PC software allows for extensive control and data export.

How do the safety features ensure uninterrupted operation?

• In the event of overtemperature or low liquid level, the device is automatically shut down, ensuring the protection of samples and equipment.

Is the device suitable for continuous operation?

• Yes, the device is designed for continuous, unattended operation, including a long-term timer and robust overvoltage and dry-run protection.
