Vertical Constant Temperature Shaker (Shaking Incubator) HSC-I-VCTS – 175 to 580 L, ±0.1 °C, 20 to 350 rpm
Price on Request
Vertical constant temperature shaker HSC-I-VCTS: shaking incubator 175, 335 or 580 L with two trays, ambient +5 to 65 °C (C models 4 to 65 °C), ±0.1 °C, 20 – 350 rpm with static, forward and reverse, program modes, over-speed and over-temperature protection. For cell and microbial culture. 1-year warranty.
The HSCo HSC-I-VCTS vertical constant temperature shaker (shaking incubator) keeps flasks at a set temperature while it shakes them, for cell culture, microbial cultivation, biochemical reactions and sample preparation. A PID controller holds the chamber to ±0.1 °C, even to ±0.5 °C at 37 °C, and the platforms turn from 20 up to 350 rpm, or stand still for static culture, forward or reverse. Standard, continuous and multi-step program modes set temperature, speed and time together. Three cabinet sizes (175, 335 and 580 L) hold two shaking trays; C models also cool, down to 4 °C.
Why labs choose the VCTS
- Heat or cool while shaking: ambient +5 to 65 °C, or 4 to 65 °C on C models.
- Accurate: ±0.1 °C; ±1 rpm speed accuracy.
- Two trays, up to 42 × 1 L flasks in the largest size.
- Programs: multi-step temperature, speed and time.
- Safe: over-speed protection, over-temperature alarm, soft start, power-cut recovery.
