260 l refrigerated incubator shaker

High capacity, total control, the incubator shaker for high-volume applications

Developed to meet the growing demand for higher productivity and strict process control, the UC Series high-capacity stackable incubator shaker is engineered for demanding laboratory environments handling large sample volumes.

This robust system delivers accurate temperature regulation combined with stable, dynamic shaking, making it ideal for extensive bacterial cultures, large-scale fermentation studies, advanced hybridization workflows, in-depth biochemical reaction analysis, and complex enzyme or tissue processing.

Its advanced performance makes it a key solution for scaling research and production activities across critical sectors such as medical diagnostics and therapeutic research, advanced biological and molecular sciences, pharmaceutical development and manufacturing (including GMP-regulated environments), large-scale food processing R&D, and comprehensive environmental monitoring programs.

Instrument Features

• Functional and refined design - The design extends beyond aesthetics, incorporating a streamlined structure with integrated drainage pathways and smooth curved transitions, achieved through a precision molding process. The result is an instrument that is visually refined while being fully optimized for laboratory workflows, ease of cleaning, and long-term maintenance.
• Advanced 7-inch touchscreen control interface - Operation is managed via a bright 7-inch color touchscreen, providing full control of all operating parameters. The intuitive interface allows simultaneous multi-parameter display and monitoring and remains fully responsive even when wearing laboratory gloves. Available functions include one-touch screen lock, real-time clock, temperature and speed calibration, scheduled operation, adjustable backlight, automatic stop upon door opening, parameter memory with recovery, and both fixed-value and multi-step programming modes.
• Designed for GMP environments and data integrity - Engineered to meet stringent regulatory expectations, the inner chamber is manufactured from high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners for effortless cleaning and compliance with GMP standards. Data security and traceability are ensured through three-level user authorization management, full audit trail functionality, searchable operation logs, real-time performance curve display, extensive historical data storage (over 1 million records or more than five years), and USB data export.
• High capacity with optimized footprint - High throughput without sacrificing laboratory space. This large-capacity unit retains full stacking flexibility and can be configured as a single floor unit or stacked two or three levels high. The vertical design maximizes space efficiency while accommodating substantially larger sample volumes.
• Ergonomic and easy sample access - Designed for convenient handling of heavy loads, the unit features a drop-down outer door combined with a smooth slide-out shaker platform. This ergonomic configuration enables easy access to samples positioned anywhere inside the chamber or on the shaking platform, reducing operator strain and improving workflow efficiency.
• Simplified cleaning and maintenance - Hygiene is straightforward and efficient. The chamber base is designed for direct water rinsing, while an integrated drainage system enables fast and thorough cleaning, ensuring contamination-free operation and quick readiness for subsequent runs.
• Integrated functionality and operational flexibility - Core operating features are seamlessly integrated to support continuous workflows: screen lock to prevent unauthorized changes, timing and scheduled run functions, and automatic parameter recovery after interruptions. Active humidification is provided as standard (control range: ambient humidity up to 95%, accuracy ±5%). A USB interface for data transfer is included as standard.
• Uncompromising stability and precision - Advanced drive system: a single-axis, five-dimensional dynamic balancing drive minimizes mechanical friction, resulting in ultra-low noise levels, reduced energy consumption, enhanced stability, and extended service life. Smooth motion is maintained even under high loads.
• High-precision servo motor control: a high-torque servo motor ensures accurate speed regulation, stepless adjustment, quiet operation, and precise bidirectional shaking.
• Premium core components: reliability and durability are ensured by high-quality components, including an energy-efficient variable-frequency compressor (precise temperature control, frost-free operation, and over 30% energy savings), high-precision imported double-row bearings for superior load handling and smooth motion, and precision-processed ductile iron structural parts for long-term mechanical stability.
• Uniform thermal environment: intelligent fuzzy PID control with automatic tracking provides highly accurate temperature regulation. A three-dimensional air circulation system eliminates hot and cold spots, ensuring consistent growth conditions throughout the chamber.
• Comprehensive multi-level safety system - Operator safety, sample protection, and equipment longevity are ensured through multiple integrated safety mechanisms:
  Personnel safety: leakage and overcurrent detection immediately cuts power in the event of abnormal conditions.
  Sample protection: sensitive speed monitoring detects uncontrolled acceleration, triggering alarms and automatic shutdown to protect valuable samples.
  Equipment protection: real-time heating monitoring identifies potential thermal risks and immediately disconnects power to prevent damage or safety incidents.
• Expand research capabilities with optional accessories - The high-capacity unit can be customized with a wide range of optional accessories, including dedicated lighting for phototrophic cultures, high-speed shaking for demanding mixing applications, light-shielding solutions, high-adhesion shaker plates, remote communication and monitoring interfaces, gas inlet systems for anaerobic or controlled atmospheres, full 3Q validation services, and an integrated micro-printer for immediate documentation.
