Benchmark Incu-Shaker Mini CO2 Shaking Incubator
Ideal for the culturing of non-adherent cells, the Incu-Shaker CO2 Mini combines a precision CO2 incubation chamber with an integral orbital shaker, providing the optimum conditions for suspension cell culture.
With Benchmark's unique and proprietary heat distribution technology, the incubator provides the highest levels of temperature accuracy with minimal fluctuation (within 0.1°C). The six-side heating system in combination with a low speed internal fan uniformly spreads air throughout the stainless steel chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). For applications requiring solely gravity convection, this internal fan can be disabled, significantly reducing the concern of sample to sample contamination.
A beltless motor drive provides a horizontally circular shaking motion at a consistent 19mm orbit. The included platform (9.5 x 11.5 in.) can be used for low speed shaking of a variety of laboratory vessels, including erlenmeyer flasks, culture plates and media bottles.
The Benchmark Incu-Shaker Mini CO2 Shaking Incubator includes:
- > 9.5" x 11.5" Platform
- > 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.
- Conduct a final cosmetic inspection to verify all surfaces meet appearance standards.
