- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, shaking platforms typically accommodate multiple flasks or vessels, often ranging from 100ml to 5L, depending on the platform size and flask clamps.
- Temperature range
- Units of this type commonly offer a temperature range from approximately 5°C above ambient to 60-70°C, with precise control.
- Shaking motion
- Orbital shaking is standard for Certomat BS-T models, providing uniform mixing. The orbit diameter is typically fixed or selectable within a small range.
- Shaking speed
- Commonly, shaking speeds are adjustable from 20 to 400 rpm, allowing for varied application requirements.
- Power supply
- Units are typically powered by a standard single-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.
- Footprint
- Incubator shakers of this design are benchtop units, with a footprint typically around 60-80 cm wide and deep, and 50-70 cm high.
- Control system
- Digital control with a display for temperature, speed, and time is commonly found on units of this type, offering programmability.
