Key Features
The SI505 has been designed specifically to combine a bench top
laboratory incubator with the specific mixing action required for
microtitre plates.
Shaking action is ideal for mixing microtitre plates, combining
a high speed action between 250 and 1250rpm with a tight
orbit of 1.5mm. This enables even the smallest of vessels to
adequately mixed, be it well plates or microtubes. The SI505
has independent control of speed and temperature to avoid
accidental temperature adjustment. Speed is microprocessor
controller and set via the digital LED control panel. The unit also
incorporates a versatile timer, which can be set from 1 second to
9 days, once the timer has run down, an alarm will
sound and the shaking action will cease, for safety
reasons the incubator will continue to run.
The temperature of the incubator can be set, via
the digital LED control panel, between ambient
temperature +7ºC and 60ºC. Careful control of
the air distribution within the incubator ensures
temperature uniformity throughout the sample
chamber. To minimise sample evaporation the SI505
is supplied with stainless steel water trays, these are
strategically placed within the unit to maintain a
humidity of up to 80%, thus dramatically reducing
sample evaporation over a 24 hour period.
The SI505’s stainless steel platform is retractable, this allows
easier access to samples at the back of the incubator. During
operation the platform is securely locked in place, but can be
easily released when required. The platform will comfortably
and securely accommodate up to four microtitre plates on the
non slip mat. Or sample tube racks are available which will
accommodate all common tube sizes.
The SI505 also features a USB connection which allows the
incubator to be connected to a PC for long term monitoring
of the incubator temperature, over night of weekends for
example.
