New Brunswick C2 Classic Platform Shaker
The New Brunswick C2 Classic Platform Shaker offers precise control for laboratory mixing applications, featuring a speed range of 50 to 400 RPM with fine increments of ± 1 RPM and an accuracy of ± 2 RPM. It is engineered with PI microprocessor control for consistent performance and includes a timer adjustable from 0.1 to 99.9 hours. The platform’s 2.54 cm (1 in.) orbit ensures effective mixing. Audible and visual alarms alert users when the speed deviates by more than 5 RPM from the set point or when the timer expires. Visibility and monitoring of operation parameters are facilitated by an LED display that shows speed, running time, and alarm conditions. Durability is enhanced by an eccentric counterbalanced drive with permanently lubricated ball bearings and a robust, solid-state brushless DC motor, making it an ideal choice for demanding lab environments.
All of our equipment will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The New Brunswick C2 Classic Platform Shaker includes:
- > 11 x 13 in. Platform
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

|
- Validate that the power supply and PCB deliver stable, correct voltage outputs across all necessary connections, ensuring reliable operation
- Thoroughly inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels; replace affected elements to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Test the full range of button functionality, confirming responsive, accurate input recognition across all settings
- Conduct a detailed inspection of bearings and bearing housing, identifying any worn or damaged bearings, and replace as needed to prevent operational disruption
- Examine the drive belt for signs of cracking, fraying, or material breakdown; replace as required to ensure sustained performance
- Measure and adjust motor drive belt tension to optimal specifications, securing reliable and efficient power transmission
- Verify accuracy of the onboard timer, confirming proper functionality and replacing if it deviates from expected performance
- Calibrate shaker rotation speed with a NIST-traceable tachometer, validating precision within specified operational limits
- Run the shaker continuously for an 8-12 hour testing period, closely observing the shaking platform for smooth, consistent motion, while monitoring for any error indicators such as knocking, skipping, or unusual vibrations
- Perform a comprehensive cosmetic inspection to confirm the device’s exterior meets aesthetic and quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
