The New Brunswick Innova 40 Incubator Shaker is a benchtop orbital shaker designed for dependable temperature-controlled shaking in research and laboratory applications. Its heavy-duty triple-eccentric counterbalanced drive provides smooth orbital motion and reliable operation, while accommodating flasks up to 3 L. The Innova 40 provides temperature control from 5°C above ambient to 80°C and is available with either a 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) orbit. A transparent, insulated lid allows samples to remain visible during operation without occupying additional bench space.
The programmable controller supports continuous operation, timed runs, and multi-step programs incorporating changes in speed and temperature. Integrated safeguards include a drive interrupt when the lid is opened, controlled acceleration and deceleration to minimize splashing, imbalance detection, and independent over-temperature protection. Visual and audible alarms provide notification of speed or temperature deviations, power failure, an open lid, and completion of timed runs, while an RS-232 interface supports connection to a computer for additional control.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The New Brunswick Innova 40 Incubator Shaker includes:
- 18 x 18 in. Platform
- NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- Power Cord
- Operator's Manual
- Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
