Applications
The Incu-Shaker 10LR is the choice for labs that need high-capacity shaking incubation with refrigeration — enabling protocols that require below-ambient temperatures that standard incubated shakers cannot achieve.
Cold-Sensitive Protein Expression
Many recombinant protein expression protocols benefit from reduced temperature — lower temperatures slow growth rates, reduce inclusion body formation, and improve soluble protein yield. The 10LR's -12°C to 60°C range allows researchers to run cold-induction protocols (typically 16–18°C) in the same unit used for standard 37°C growth phases, eliminating the need for separate cold room shakers.
Large-Scale Bacterial & Yeast Culture
With capacity for up to 49 x 50 mL flasks or 5 x 2 L flasks, the 10LR handles high-throughput culture workloads that smaller shaking incubators cannot accommodate. Consistent orbital agitation at 30–300 RPM ensures adequate oxygen transfer across the full platform load — critical for reproducible growth kinetics in scale-up and fermentation studies.
Temperature-Sensitive Biochemical Assays
Enzyme kinetics, binding assays, and other temperature-sensitive biochemical workflows require precise, stable temperature control across a wide range. The 10LR's ±0.2% temperature accuracy and ±0.5% uniformity maintain consistent conditions across the 18 x 18 inch platform — reducing inter-sample variability in multi-flask assay formats.
Pharmaceutical & Bioprocess Development
In pharmaceutical R&D and bioprocess development, the ability to run controlled temperature shaking at sub-ambient conditions is essential for media optimization, cell line development, and process scale-up studies. The 10LR's large platform and refrigeration capability make it a practical benchtop tool for early-stage bioprocess work before moving to bioreactor scale.
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.
