Shaker incubators
A shaker incubator combines precise temperature control with orbital shaking, so a culture grows and stays aerated at the same time. It is the standard instrument for microbial culture, cell culture, fermentation and dissolution testing. The range splits by size: benchtop units for routine batches, floor-standing units for large-volume work, and refrigerated versions where the protocol needs temperatures below ambient.
- Temperature range — heating-only models start at RT+5 °C; refrigerated models such as ORSHA110R and ORSHA80 run from 4 °C, which is what cell culture and enzyme work need in a warm room.
- Chamber and platform — benchtop units carry one platform for flasks up to 500 ml; floor-standing units take large platforms and run several litres of culture at once.
- Speed range — typically 50–300 rpm with a 20–26 mm orbit — the range that keeps a culture aerated without foaming.
- Clamps and accessories — platforms are fitted with clamps for Erlenmeyer flasks, or with a non-slip mat for bottles and racks.
- Control — digital setpoint for temperature, speed and time, with a timer for overnight runs.
Most microbiology runs at 30–37 °C and a heating-only incubator is enough. Refrigerated models earn their price in two situations: when the room itself is warm, so the chamber cannot reach a stable 30 °C by heating alone, and when the protocol requires holding or growing below ambient. ORSHA110R covers 4–60 °C, ORSHAHC and ORSHA80 offer heating and cooling on the bench.
