Applications
The Incu-Shaker Mini is built for labs where bench space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. Its compact footprint and touchscreen interface make it easy to deploy multiple units side-by-side for parallel experiments.
Bacterial & Yeast Culture
The Mini's 30–300 RPM orbital shaking range and 70°C maximum temperature cover the full spectrum of standard bacterial and yeast culture protocols. Consistent orbital agitation ensures adequate oxygen transfer and nutrient mixing for reproducible growth curves — critical for strain characterization, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and fermentation studies.
Molecular Biology & Plasmid Preparation
Plasmid prep, protein expression, and solubility studies all require precise, reproducible shaking conditions. The Mini's ±0.2% temperature accuracy and 1 RPM speed increments allow researchers to dial in exact protocol conditions and maintain them consistently across runs — reducing variability in downstream applications like cloning, transformation, and expression screening.
Suspension Cell Culture
Suspension cultures require gentle, uniform agitation to maintain cell viability without shear stress. The 19mm orbit and variable speed control of the Mini allow researchers to optimize agitation for specific cell lines, while the non-slip rubber-coated platform keeps flasks secure throughout extended culture periods.
Small-Scale & Parallel Experiments
The Mini's compact size makes it ideal for running multiple units simultaneously — enabling parallel condition screening, dose-response studies, or replicate cultures without requiring a large-footprint incubated shaker. Up to 20 x 50 mL flasks fit on a single platform, providing meaningful throughput in a minimal footprint.
MAGiC Clamp™ & Accessories
All Incu-Shaker models feature the MAGiC Clamp™ magnetic system for tool-free platform exchange. Optional accessories include universal platforms, Erlenmeyer flask clamps (50 mL to 2 L), microplate platforms, and tube racks. Contact us for accessory configurations and pricing.
