Benchtop Shaking Incubator - 222DS - 115V
The Labnet 222DS Benchtop Shaking Incubator delivers precise temperature and agitation control in a space-saving benchtop design. Its low-pivot hinged lid opens easily under shelves, making it ideal for crowded lab benches. With a large 30 × 30 cm platform, digital controls, and included SmartChek™ software for real-time monitoring and data archiving, the 222DS offers exceptional versatility for microbiology, tissue culture, bacteriology, and molecular biology applications.
- Compact Benchtop Design: Small footprint with a low-pivot hinged lid that opens under shelves in tight lab arrangements.
- SmartChek™ Software Included: Windows-compatible software with USB cable for real-time and archived monitoring of RPM and temperature; PC not required for operation.
- Dual Control Options: Operate directly from the instrument keypad or remotely from a PC via SmartChek™ software.
- Digital Precision: Temperature control in 0.1°C increments and speed control in 1 RPM increments for exact protocol replication.
- Auto Restart: Unit continues operation automatically after a power outage without resetting parameters.
- Lid-Open Safety Cutoff: Open door/lid cutoff switch stops operation for safety; programming allows the lid to be opened during a run without parameter reset.
- Uniform Orbital Motion: Consistent 19 mm orbital shaking even under adverse load conditions.
- Exceptional Versatility: Large selection of accessories including microplate hotels, sticky mats, tube holders, flask clamps, and a universal platform.
- Petri Dish Compatibility: Optional shelf capable of holding 60 mm dishes for tissue culture work.
- Reliable Documentation: Good software allows practical documentation of temperature and shaking conditions over time.
The included SmartChek™ software (Windows-compatible, USB cable included) allows users to monitor RPM and temperature in real time and archive run data to a PC. This flexibility enables control either directly from the instrument keypad or remotely from a computer, making documentation and protocol validation straightforward. The software is not required for operation—the 222DS functions fully as a standalone unit.
