Thermo Scientific MaxQ 6000 SHKE6000 Controlled Temperature Orbital Incubator Shaker

The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 6000 SHKE6000 is a floor-style incubator shaker designed for precise temperature-controlled shaking incubation critical in biotechnology and molecular biology workflows. It integrates a triple-eccentric drive system to deliver stable, consistent orbital agitation with a 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) orbit diameter, supporting shaking speeds from 15 to 500 rpm (max 300 rpm when stacked).

This incubator shaker excels in bacterial and yeast culture growth, protein expression, plasmid preparation, and media agitation — making it widely adopted in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research. The temperature range spans ambient +5°C up to 80°C, featuring a high-accuracy control (±0.1°C at 37°C) and uniformity (±0.5°C at 37°C), essential for reproducible cell culture incubation and biochemical assays.

Key technical specifications include:

Power requirements are 120V, 60Hz, 11 amps; overall unit dimensions are 27" x 33" x 42" with a weight of 330 lbs. The equipment supports critical molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing applications requiring controlled agitation and incubation.

This orbital incubator shaker is a vital tool in laboratories focused on cell imaging, live-cell incubation, and protein expression systems, offering robust, long-run shaking capabilities coupled with precise environmental control in biomedical engineering and biotechnology research settings.
