The CO2 Incubator with Shaker by Wiggens is a reliable and versatile laboratory solution designed for advanced cell culture applications in South Africa. Available through Apex Scientific, this incubator combines high-precision control with an integrated shaker system, offering consistent performance for demanding scientific environments.
Flexible Shaking Platform and Plate Compatibility
A key feature of this CO2 Incubator with Shaker is its removable shaker platform. It accommodates a range of culture vessels, including Erlenmeyer flasks (100 mL to 1000 mL), test tube clamps, and 96-well plates. When needed, the shaker can be removed to convert the unit into a static incubator. The external control panel allows independent shaker operation, with real-time speed and temperature data visible on the LED display.
Reliable Temperature and CO₂ Control
Precise environmental conditions are maintained with a dual-beam infrared CO2 sensor and six-sided heating. This combination delivers exceptional temperature stability and CO2 accuracy. The orbital shakers, made from stainless steel, resist contamination and are easy to clean. A sealed BLDC motor ensures quiet operation, even in high-humidity conditions, supporting long-term cell suspension cultures.
Optimized for Suspension Cell Culture
Ideal for eukaryotic cells like CHO, HEK, and HeLa, each shaker supports suspension cultures with high reliability. A pull-out shaker platform simplifies flask handling, while sticky mats and optional holders improve workflow. The incubator uses PID temperature control combined with forced air and natural convection for rapid heat recovery and consistent distribution.
Humidity Control and Laboratory Safety
The deep humidity tray helps maintain a high-humidity environment. Split inner glass doors reduce heat and CO2 loss during access. A visible LED display shows the water level in the tray. For enhanced safety, the auto-restart function resumes shaker operation after door openings or power failures. A UV lamp, placed near the fan, sterilizes internal air during incubation.
Premium Build and Sterility Assurance
The internal chamber is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel for rust resistance and GMP compliance. An antibacterial HEPA filter maintains sterile conditions, while removable shelves accommodate larger culture vessels, including 5 L and 10 L flasks. Together, these features make the CO2 Incubator with Shaker a trusted solution for laboratories across South Africa.
