Thermo MaxQ 2000 Analog Orbital Shaker
The Thermo MaxQ 2000 Analog Orbital Shaker is ideal for shaking flasks, vials, beakers, Petri dishes, and other sample containers. This SHKA2000 model of the MaxQ 2000 features a variable speed range from 40 to 400 RPM, which is controlled by a rotary dial monitored accurately by a traditional tachometer. Users may also perform timed studies with timed operation from 1 to 60 minutes, or the choice to operate the shaker in continuous mode. This shaker can also operate in temperature ranges of 0 to 40C, and 20 to 80% noncondensing humidity, making this shaker suitable for use within a variety of incubators, warm rooms, environmental chambers, and refrigerators. This shaker will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo MaxQ 2000 Analog Orbital Shaker includes:
- > 13" x 11" 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
