General description
CAUTION: Keep fingers clear when
operating door.
This range of Stuart incubators contains three
models each fitted with a moving platform
offering a choice of shaking action.
SI50: Has an orbital shaker with variable speed
between 20 and 250rpm and an orbit of 16mm.
The shaker platform is fitted with an robust mat
and adjustable rubber coated bars to secure the
load.
SI70: Has a 3D gyratory rocker with variable
speed between 10 and 70rpm and an angle of
tilt adjustable from 3-12°. The shaker platform is
fitted with an anti-slip mat.
SI80: Has a simple side to side rocking platform
with variable speed between 10 and 70rpm and
an amplitude adjustable from 1-7°. The shaker
platform is fitted with an anti-slip mat.
The incubator compartment is heated by an
efficient sheathed element. Forced air circulation
and precise digital control gives accurate heat
distribution and a quick response to set
temperatures. For visibility of the contents the
walls of the incubator are made from smoked
acrylic.
