Shaking Incubator - 211DHS (48L)
The Labnet 211DS Shaking Incubator combines a compact footprint with powerful orbital shaking and precise temperature control, making it an ideal choice for molecular biology protocols, cell culture, and general laboratory incubation. Its stackable design maximizes bench space, while the integrated orbital shaker and expanded temperature range deliver the versatility required for demanding research environments.
- Compact, Stackable Design: Small footprint saves valuable bench space; units can be stacked to multiply capacity without expanding your lab's footprint.
- SmartChek™ Temperature Control: Labnet's exclusive system guarantees precise temperature regulation with ±0.1°C accuracy and ±0.25°C uniformity.
- Expanded Temperature Range: Operates from 30°C to 80°C, suitable for a wide variety of incubation and culture applications.
- Integral Orbital Shaker: Built-in 19 mm orbit shaker with adjustable speed from 20 to 400 RPM, eliminating the need for separate shaking equipment.
- Mechanical Convection: Ensures stable temperature environment throughout the chamber and rapid recovery after door openings.
- Internal Electrical Outlet: Powers small auxiliary equipment—such as the GyroMini™ or Mini LabRoller™ Rotator—directly inside the chamber.
- Superior Visibility & Access: Insulated door with a large double-glass observation panel opens nearly 180° for effortless loading and unloading.
- Safety Thermostat: Independent safety thermostat located on the rear of the unit provides an added layer of protection.
- Durable Construction: Mirrored stainless steel interior for easy cleaning and corrosion resistance; cold-rolled steel exterior for long-term durability.
- Digital Controls & Display: Intuitive digital interface for precise setting and monitoring of temperature and shaking parameters.
Labnet's exclusive SmartChek™ temperature control system is engineered for precision. Mechanical convection technology maintains a uniform temperature environment across the entire 48 L chamber and delivers quick recovery after the door is opened. An independent safety thermostat on the back of the unit adds an extra safeguard for temperature-sensitive samples.
