When lab space is at a premium, but performance can’t be compromised, the Be Scientific Compact CO2 Shaking Incubator is the ideal choice. Designed with the demands of microbial, mammalian and plant cell workflows in mind, this benchtop/floor standing unit is packed with features that elevate convenience, control, and throughput.
Compact and Stackable for Maximum Efficiency
- Compact footprint (840 × 764 × 625 mm) fits neatly under benches - even in tight spaces - without limiting workspace.
- Stackable design supports two units vertically, delivering a 12 x 2L flask capacity or 4 x 5L flask capacity while preserving floor space.
Intuitive Control with a Full-Colour Touchscreen
- Features a 7″ large touchscreen for real-time monitoring and programming.
- PID-controlled temperature and speed with a temperature range of 4°C to 60°C (upgrade to 80 °C is available) and adjustable speed of 30–300 rpm. Fully programmable with the option to set heat/cooling rates.
Versatility for Diverse Applications
- Shaking diameter adjustable from Ø 1–50 mm (orbital, 30–300 rpm) which covers a range of flasks and tubes.
- Optional Ø 3 mm high-speed shaking enables up to 1,200 rpm - perfect for 96-well plates and micro-volume assays.
- Generous internal space (415 mm height) easily handles 5 L flasks, even with LED panels installed.
Precision Control of the Culture Environment
- Humidity control: 140 °C steam injection with PID accuracy keeps humidity levels consistent and avoids desiccation.
- CO₂ control: High-precision dual-wavelength infrared sensor accurately maintains 0–20% CO₂ - crucial for mammalian and algae cultures.
- Optional photosynthetic LED lighting supports plant and algae work with red/blue or warm white light (up to 400 µmol/m²·s). The intensity is fully adjustable from 0-100% output.
Built-In Contamination Control & Safety Features
- UV sterilisation inside the chamber keeps cultures clean (automatically disables on door opening).
- Stainless-steel chamber with curved corners and drip tray eases sanitation.
- Multiple safeguards: an internal lock, door interlock, alarms for anomalies, non-volatile memory and power failure recovery.
Data Handling & Connectivity
- USB data logging for data exporting run data; optional TCP/IP, RS‑485, or built-in printer for enhanced traceability.
Quiet, Durable, Low-Vibration Design
- Direct, beltless drive with brushless DC motor ensures smooth, silent operation (<55 dB) and minimal maintenance.
