Winpact SI-970 CO2 Incubator Shaker | Dry Heat

MAJOR SCIENCE · WINPACT · SI-970 Bring dry-heat treatment into the shaker workflow The Winpact SI-970 is the dry-heat model in the stackable CO₂ incubator shaker family. Its manufacturer-listed 180°C dry-heat treatment sets it apart from SI-950 moist heat and the UV function on SI-960, while retaining 50 mm orbital shaking at 10 to 180 rpm. For culture runs, incubation remains ambient to 60°C at 23 to 26°C ambient. SI-970 has no refrigeration and no UV germicidal lamp. The dry-heat temperature describes a separate treatment function, not a wider incubation range. Manufacturer family reference showing a single-module arrangement. The order determines supplied module count and accessories; labware shown is illustrative. 180°C Dry Heat treatment 50 mm Orbit diameter Ambient to 60°C Incubation at 23 to 26°C ambient 0.1 to 20% CO₂ control range Why laboratories choose this format Defined treatment choice Choose 180°C dry heat as a separate manufacturer-listed chamber treatment, not a wider incubation range. Controlled chamber atmosphere CO₂ 0.1–20% and a 50–95% RH specification support selection against an existing protocol. HEPA is optional. Accessible working area A 91 × 50 cm slide-out platform, glide-up door and touchscreen support daily setup. Which SI model fits my workflow? SI-910 · Refrigerated / UV 25 mm orbit; 10–300 rpm. No CO₂ or humidity control. SI-960 · Refrigerated / CO₂ / UV 50 mm orbit; 10–180 rpm. CO₂ and humidity capabilities. SI-950 · Non-refrigerated / moist heat 50 mm orbit; 10–180 rpm. Separate 90°C moist-heat treatment. SI-970 · Current model · Non-refrigerated / dry heat 50 mm orbit; 10–180 rpm. Separate 180°C dry-heat treatment. SI-910 and SI-960 specify refrigerated incubation at 4–60°C. SI-950 and SI-970 specify ambient–60°C incubation, not incubation at their heat-treatment temperatures. Each range has stated ambient test conditions. These are different model choices, not upgrade promises. Choose dry heat without changing the incubation range SI-970 lists a 180°C dry-heat treatment rather than the SI-950's 90°C moist-heat method. This is the main selection difference between the two non-refrigerated CO₂ models; their current shaking, orbit and incubation specifications are the same. Review the manufacturer's preparation, removal and cooling instructions before operating the heat function. The published temperature does not establish a cycle duration, permission to heat loaded labware or a validated sterility guarantee. Routine incubation is still limited to ambient to 60°C under the stated conditions. Blue Tiger Scientific specification comparison. Treatment temperatures are separate from incubation. This schematic is not a validated treatment procedure. Match CO₂, humidity and motion to your process A 50 mm orbit and 10 to 180 rpm shaking range pair with CO₂ control from 0.1 to 20%. The infrared CO₂ sensor has manufacturer-listed accuracy of ±0.1% and stability of ±0.5%. Relative humidity is specified from 50 to 95% RH. HEPA filtration is an option, not a standard inclusion. Confirm the gas and water requirements for the final configuration rather than assuming service hardware is supplied. Manufacturer family chamber detail. Listed layouts are alternatives, not supplied flask or holder quantities. Check the flask layout before choosing holders The 91 × 50 cm slide-out platform and glide-up door provide access for routine loading. The platform and inner chamber are SUS316L stainless steel, and internal illumination supports visual checks. Family maximum-capacity examples are 50 × 250 mL, 32 × 500 mL, 18 × 1000 mL or 15 × 2000 mL. These are alternative layouts, not supplied quantities. Check flask dimensions, retaining hardware and permitted speed together; larger or different vessels can change the usable layout.

The manufacturer specifies a timer of 9999 minutes or 9999 hours, a servo motor and forced internal air circulation. Choose operating settings around your process. The published specification does not establish a number of program steps or a heat-treatment duration; use the model-specific operating procedure for those details. Plan the room, power and stack arrangement The specified operating ambient range is 20 to 27°C. Electrical supply is single-phase 110 V or 220 V, 50/60 Hz. Confirm the required voltage and final connection details before ordering; the 800 W heating-power figure is not a total electrical-input rating. Stacking can help organize capacity vertically, but the illustrated three-module arrangement is not a package statement. Confirm supplied modules, stacking hardware, final installation dimensions, floor loading and service clearances for your order.

SI-970 buyer questions How is SI-970 different from SI-950?SI-970 uses the manufacturer-listed 180°C dry heat treatment; SI-950 lists 90°C moist heat. Both are non-refrigerated CO₂ models with a 50 mm orbit, 10 to 180 rpm shaking, ambient-to-60°C incubation and no UV lamp. Choose the heat method around the approved cleaning procedure, not an assumed increase in incubation temperature.Can SI-970 cool below room temperature?No. SI-970 is non-refrigerated and its incubation range is ambient to 60°C at 23 to 26°C ambient. For refrigeration with CO₂ control, compare SI-960, specified at 4 to 60°C at 23 to 25°C ambient. SI-910 is also refrigerated but has a 25 mm orbit, a 300 rpm maximum and no CO₂ control in the current specification.Does the 180°C function mean I can incubate at 180°C?No. 180°C is the listed dry heat treatment temperature, not the incubation range. The public specification does not establish a treatment duration, permitted load or validated sterility outcome. Use the manufacturer's model-specific procedure and keep incubation settings within the stated ambient-to-60°C range.What atmosphere controls are specified, and is HEPA included?CO₂ control is 0.1 to 20% with an infrared sensor, ±0.1% accuracy and ±0.5% stability. Relative humidity is specified from 50 to 95% RH. HEPA filtration is optional, not standard. Confirm the gas and water requirements and any supporting hardware for the selected configuration.How many flasks can I run at once?The manufacturer lists alternative family maximums of 50 × 250 mL, 32 × 500 mL, 18 × 1000 mL or 15 × 2000 mL on the 91 × 50 cm platform. These are not included quantities or a guarantee for every flask design. Confirm vessel dimensions, holder compatibility and the permitted speed for your load.Does the order include the pictured stack, holders and labware?The photographs illustrate the family in single-module and stacked arrangements. Public specifications do not establish the supplied module count, holders, labware or complete accessory package. Confirm the order contents explicitly; the illustrated three-module stack is not a statement of what is included.What should I check before installation?Plan for a 20 to 27°C operating ambient and single-phase 110 V or 220 V, 50/60 Hz power. Confirm voltage, final electrical requirements, installation dimensions, stacking hardware, floor loading and service clearances for the actual arrangement. The specified 800 W is heater power, not total input power.Can I program a run from the touchscreen?The 10-inch capacitive touchscreen supports PID control and a manually editable program. A timer of 9999 minutes or 9999 hours is listed. The current specification does not establish a program-step count or heat-cycle duration, so confirm those details against the operating procedure rather than treating the timer limit as a cycle recipe.
