Stuart SI505 Incubator Shaker for Microplates with Orbital Shaking and Temperature Control

The Stuart SI505 Incubator Shaker is a versatile laboratory instrument designed for temperature-controlled orbital shaking of microplates and microtube racks. It features:

• Orbital shaking amplitude of 1.5 mm for uniform mixing, critical in applications such as cell culture, molecular cloning workflows, and bioprocessing.
• Shaking speed range of 250 to 1250 rpm, digitally regulated in 10 rpm increments for precise shaking conditions required in synthetic biology and enzyme kinetics studies.
• Capacity to hold four microplates or two microtube racks, facilitating multiple simultaneous experiments in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics.
• Temperature control from ambient +7°C up to 60°C with a resolution of 0.1°C, essential for optimal bacterial culture growth, protein expression, and live-cell imaging.
• A timer configurable in minutes, seconds, hours, or days accommodating long-term incubations important in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• Platform dimensions of 220 x 220 mm and compact external footprint (361 x 405 x 430 mm), suitable for benchtop use in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering labs.
• Heating power of 200 W and IP31 rating, ensuring reliable operation and protection against environmental factors common in lab environments.

The SI505 model’s combination of precise temperature control and orbital shaking makes it a crucial instrument widely adopted in biotechnology research, cell imaging, and synthetic biology experiments requiring reproducible incubation and agitation conditions.
