Thermo Scientific MaxQ 420HP Orbital Incubator Shaker with Digital Control

The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 420HP orbital incubator shaker is engineered for precise temperature-controlled shaking applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cell biology research. This benchtop incubated shaker features:

• Temperature Control: Range from 5°C above ambient to 80°C ensures optimal conditions for cell culture, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology workflows.
• Speed Range: Adjustable orbital shaking speeds from 25 to 525 ±1 rpm with a 2.5 cm orbit diameter allow versatile mixing for various sample types.
• Platform Capacity: A robust 18 x 18 inch platform supports up to 71 lbs (32 kg), accommodating six 2L flasks, ideal for medium-scale biomanufacturing and culture experiments.
• Digital Interface: User-friendly backlit digital panel with alphanumeric messaging and icon-based controls enables simultaneous monitoring and precise programming of temperature, speed, and time parameters, essential for repeatability in molecular cloning and live-cell imaging protocols.
• Safety Features: Equipped with audible and visual alarms for deviations in temperature and speed, plus an independent probe and adjustable overtemperature safety alarm to protect samples and equipment during long-term incubations.
• Mechanical Design: Utilizes a triple counterbalanced mechanism and low-heat DC motor for minimal vibration and smooth operation that maintains sample integrity and consistency crucial for neuroimaging and fluorescence analysis.
• Spill Protection: Includes a gasketed lid and sealed spill tray safeguarding sensitive electronic components from accidental contamination or spills.

With dimensions of 29 x 23 x 22 inches and weighing 185 lbs, this incubator shaker integrates seamlessly into laboratory environments focused on biotechnology research, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. It supports continuous or timed shaking sessions up to nearly 200 hours, making it widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring steady environmental conditions and reliable agitation.

This model is supplied with an 18×18″ platform, flask holders, test tube rack, sticky mats, temp validation report, user manual, and 120V power cord. The Thermo MaxQ 420HP is an essential tool for researchers needing reproducible incubation and shaking parameters in demanding molecular biology and bioprocessing applications.
