Thermo Scientific - MaxQ 8000 Shaker Incubator

This listing is for a Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Orbital shaker incubator

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 is an orbital shaker incubator — a piece of lab equipment that combines controlled shaking and temperature control in one unit. It’s designed for biological and biochemical workflows where maintaining both a constant temperature and agitation are important, such as:

• Cell culture (bacteria, yeast, insect or mammalian cells)
• Fermentation
• Protein expression
• Hybridization and DNA work
• Solubility studies and other mixing tasks

How It Works

• Orbital shaking: The platform inside moves in a circular (orbital) motion to mix or agitate samples evenly.
• Temperature control: It incubates samples at controlled temperatures — typically from above ambient up to ~60 °C, and in refrigerated models also below ambient — so you can grow cultures or perform temperature-sensitive reactions.
• Stackability: Units can be stacked 2–3 high to multiply capacity without using more floor space.

Key Features

• Temperature range: Ambient +10 °C to ~60 °C (or lower if refrigerated version)
• Speed range: ~25–400 rpm for shaking with accurate control
• HEPA-filtered chamber: Promotes clean air and reduces cross-contamination risk inside the incubator for better culture conditions.
• Slide-out platform: Makes loading and adjusting flasks easy.
• Microprocessor controls: Digital display and alarms for monitoring temperature, speed, and time.

Typical Applications

• Growing microbial or cell cultures
• Protein expression studies
• Hybridization reactions
• Solubility assays
• General mixing where precise temperature control is needed alongside agitation.
