Thermo Scientific MaxQ 2000 CO2 Plus Digital Orbital Shaker
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 2000 CO2 Plus Digital Orbital Shaker is a state-of-the-art laboratory instrument designed to provide dependable, around-the-clock operation, essential for maintaining cell viability in various research environments. It offers a speed range of 30 to 300 RPM with an accuracy of ± 1 RPM, complemented by a timer that can be set from 1 minute up to 99 hours and 59 minutes, or operated continuously. The shaker features a 19 mm orbit and can handle a maximum load of 13 lb. (6 kg), making it suitable for a range of applications. One of the key innovations of this shaker is its orbital shaking mechanism powered by magnetic force, eliminating the need for belt replacements, and ensuring a more reliable and low-maintenance operation. The shaker's compact design makes it ideal for placement in a CO2 incubator or on a laboratory bench.
The MaxQ 2000 CO2 Plus is specially engineered to operate effectively in environments with 4°C to 60°C temperatures, and the components are treated to withstand up to 20% CO2 and 99% relative humidity conditions, ensuring durability and longevity under challenging conditions. An external control box with an LED display allows for easy adjustments without the need to open the chamber door. This control box comes standard with a 4-20 mA data output port, offering enhanced security and remote monitoring capabilities. The minimal heat dissipation feature of the shaker ensures that conditions within the CO2 chamber remain stable. Constructed with stainless steel, the shaker is robust and resistant to the corrosive effects of CO2 gassing conditions, making the Thermo Scientific MaxQ 2000 CO2 Plus Digital Orbital Shaker an ideal choice for modern laboratories prioritizing cell culture reliability and equipment durability.
All of our equipment will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

- 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
