OHAUS orbital shaker with incubator and cooling function ISICMBCDG
The OHAUS orbital shaker with incubator and cooling function is specially designed to quickly heat, cool and shake samples over a wide temperature range. This versatile device delivers high reliability and consistent results in demanding applications including cell culture, hybridisation, ELISA assays and enzyme reactions. Its precise temperature management and stable orbital motion make it the ideal choice when efficient transfer of energy to the sample and uniform heat distribution are critical.
Performance features for versatile applications
This model is capable of incubating samples at temperatures from 10 °C below ambient to 65 °C to support a wide range of biological and biochemical processes. The robust design and triple eccentric drive provide reliable orbital motion. The shaking speed can be precisely controlled at all times to ensure reproducible results in every experimental set-up. A particularly striking feature is the integrated Peltier system, which ensures direct thermal coupling between the sample container and the disc surface. This leads to an extremely homogeneous temperature distribution in the samples, even at low speeds.
The intuitive, digital control system allows parameters such as speed, temperature and time to be set precisely. A user-controlled calibration system ensures that particularly sensitive experiments in areas such as immunoassays or PCR preparations are carried out with maximum accuracy. At the same time, safety functions such as an overload indicator or the "Caution, hot!" warning light minimise the risk of damage within the laboratory. In addition, the splash-proof design and robust die-cast aluminium housing reliably protect the electronics from moisture, chemicals and mechanical influences.

Frequently asked questions
Is the device suitable for long-term incubations?
Yes. The stable brushless DC motor and the eccentric drive system are designed for continuous operation. Thanks to a timer for up to 160 hours, long-term incubation is also possible without any problems.
How is the temperature calibrated?
The digital control unit enables user-specific temperature calibration. This allows the shaker to be set precisely to the desired test parameters, which is particularly advantageous for sensitive applications.
Which sample vessels can be used
The device offers space for up to 2 microplates or 2 modular blocks. Different inserts are available to support a variety of sample formats.
Can the device also offer easy-to-clean surfaces?
Yes. Thanks to the splash-proof design and removable polycarbonate lid, all relevant parts can be cleaned and disinfected quickly.
