Benchtop orbital shaker incubators
A benchtop shaker incubator gives a small or medium lab controlled temperature and orbital shaking in one bench-sized instrument — enough for routine microbial culture, cell culture, fermentation trials and dissolution work, without giving up half the room. This subcategory holds ORSHA75, ORSHAH with heating, and ORSHAHC with heating and cooling.
- Temperature range — ORSHA75 and ORSHAH run RT+5 °C to 60 °C; ORSHAHC adds cooling, so the chamber holds a setpoint below ambient.
- Speed range — 50–300 rpm, the band that aerates a culture without foaming it.
- Platform — one platform sized for Erlenmeyer flasks up to 500 ml, with clamps; a universal mat takes bottles and racks.
- Footprint — designed to sit on the bench — check the door swing and the height with the lid open before ordering.
- Timer — digital timer for overnight runs with automatic stop.
Benchtop is the right size while one platform of flasks covers the workload. Once you need several litres of culture per run, stacked platforms or a large batch at once, the floor-standing models are the cheaper answer per litre — and they free the bench. The other deciding question is cooling: if the room runs warm or the protocol goes below ambient, choose ORSHAHC rather than a heating-only unit.
