LT-X Incubator Shaker
Space Saving Stackable Incubator Shaker
The Kuhner LT-X (Lab-Therm) incubator shaker has the same capabilities as the larger ISF1-Z and ISF4-X models. The incubator shaker was specially developed to address the shaking needs of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The practical size of the LT-X means it will fit in any laboratory.
Performance characteristics of LT-X models
- Fits into any laboratory
- Used in biotech and pharmaceutical industries
- Accepts flasks up to 6 litres
- Two units can be stacked without the need for special kits or tools
- Improved direct drive: stronger, higher shaking frequencies, very long lasting
- Flexible and retrofittable: all options and accessories applicable
- Fast, direct information through parallel and clear display of all process parameters
- 5 year warranty – The improved maintenance-free direct drive offers higher shaking frequencies. It guarantees accurate control and low energy consumption/heat dissipation even at high speeds. The shaking diameter allow to be changed at any time – quickly and easily. 12.5, 25 & 50mm standard shaking diameter is changeable by user. Different fixed shaking diameters are available on request.
- With O2 & CO2 control for microbial, plant, human and animal cell cultures as optional
- With Humidity control for human and animal cell cultures as optional
Shaking Technology Forum
The “Forum Shaking Technology” is a collection of partner companies involved in different areas of the laboratory & biotechnology industry. The forum is a helpful resource for users of shaken bioreactors, providing support, information and a publication database.
Any questions regarding shaken cultures that you send to the forum are automatically forwarded by “Dr Shaker” to the relevant specialist.
The publication database gives an overview of scientific papers concerned with shaken cultures (from microtiter plates up to the 1000L shaken bioreactor). There are now more than 1000 publications in the database which is continuously updated.
