Thermo Scientific MaxQ 2508 Benchtop Orbital and Reciprocating Shaker
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 2508 is a benchtop orbital shaker offering dual-action shaking—both orbital (0.4in / 1.2cm circular) and side-to-side reciprocating motion—suitable for bacterial culture, molecular biology sample mixing, and gel staining workflows.
- Speed range: 40 to 400 rpm adjustable in 1 rpm increments, supporting gentle to vigorous agitation.
- Timer control: Continuous operation or selectable timed mode from 1 to 60 minutes with an easy-to-use front analog dial and mode lever.
- Platform: 13 × 11 in (33 × 28 cm) load capacity of up to 15 lbs (6.8 kg), compatible with various platform clamps and universal platforms.
- Operating conditions: Supports environmental temperatures from 4°C to 40°C and 20% to 80% non-condensing humidity, enabling use in incubators, environmental chambers, and refrigerators.
- Dimensions: Compact footprint at 14 × 18 × 7 in or 14 × 18 × 10 in (depending on configuration); weighs 35 lbs (18.1 kg).
- Power: 120V, 50/60Hz, 0.40A, 25W.
This shaker’s versatility and reliable performance make it essential for biotechnology research, including bioprocessing workflows, molecular cloning, and synthetic biology protocols. The dual-mode shaking enhances mixing efficiency critical in cell culture agitation, enzyme assays, and electrophoresis gel staining preparations. The platform's customizable setup supports a diverse range of laboratory applications in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing research.
Ideal for labs needing precise orbital and reciprocating shaking motions with robust environmental tolerance, the MaxQ 2508 supports reproducible agitation critical for sensitive biochemical and microbiological assays.
