Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Incubator Shaker
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Incubator Shaker is a stackable orbital shaker that provides an ideal solution for both sensitive cultures and traditional "hard shake" applications in incubated environments from Ambient +10°C to 60°C. This incubator shaker features a heavy-duty, eccentric drive mechanism that allows for extended speed ranges from 25 to 400 RPM with minimal vibration, even when shakers are stacked three high. A triple counterbalanced mechanism provides optimum handling of full or unbalanced loads, regardless of flask placement. A slide-out platform is included and features a large mounting surface area and is secured to ensure smooth and stable motion. The MaxQ 8000 also features a horizontal HEPA filter airflow design that ensures that interior air remains clean and reduces the threat of cross-contamination for improved culturing conditions.
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Incubator Shaker utilizes a microprocessor control/monitoring system which allows for intuitive icon-based programming and operation. A two-line, 40 character message/information center provides continuous updates of setpoint, actual time, speed, and temperature. Audible/visual over and under temperature tracking alarms ensure product protection. The microprocessor tracks total accumulated time on motor and drive systems, and the memory saves all settings during power outages, restoring operation and settings when power is returned. Controlled acceleration significantly reduces wetting of flask closure and splashing. An RS-232 port is also standard on the MaxQ 8000. Specially designed for facilities seeking high capacity shakers but lacking the space to accommodate larger floor models, these units may be stacked up to three units high for three times the capacity of a single unit in nearly the same footprint.
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Incubator Shaker includes:
- > 30" x 18" Platform
- > New HEPA Filter
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Examine the chamber glass for cracks or chips, replacing it as needed to maintain structural integrity.
- Inspect door seals for signs of wear or damage, replacing them to ensure a tight seal.
- Check the display for brightness and clarity, replacing any dim or dead pixels to maintain optimal visibility.
- Test all buttons to confirm full functionality and consistent responsiveness.
- Replace all platform assembly bearings to ensure smooth and reliable motion.
- Inspect the drive belt for wear, replacing it if torn or cracked to maintain performance.
- Examine all wiring for frays, tears, or breakages, addressing any issues for electrical safety.
- Verify each PCB test point, replacing any malfunctioning components to ensure system reliability.
- Check drive belt tension to confirm correct alignment and function.
- Confirm the compressor’s operation, cleaning condenser filter and fins for efficient cooling.
- Calibrate internal temperature accuracy using an NIST-traceable temperature probe.
- Measure and calibrate platform RPMs with an NIST-traceable tachometer to ensure precision.
