Cell Culture & Biotechnology Suitable for suspension cell culture, hybridoma production, stem cell research, and biopharmaceutical development. Fermentation Studies Provides stable temperature and agitation conditions for microbial fermentation and process optimization. Molecular Biology Research Widely used for: Protein expression DNA preparation Hybridization studies Enzyme reactions ELISA preparation Food & Environmental Testing Supports sample cultivation and microbial analysis in food safety and environmental monitoring laboratories. Why Orbital Shaking Improves Culture Growth Orbital shaking continuously mixes the culture medium, significantly improving oxygen transfer, nutrient distribution, and temperature uniformity throughout the flask. Compared with static incubation, orbital shaking can: Increase dissolved oxygen levels Improve microbial growth rates Enhance biomass yield Reduce cultivation time Improve experimental reproducibility Prevent cell sedimentation For aerobic cultures such as bacteria, yeast, and many suspension cell lines, orbital agitation is critical for achieving optimal growth performance. How to Choose the Right Incubator Shaker Based on Flask Capacity Flask Size Recommended Model 50-250 mL 18011001 250-1000 mL 18011002 Up to 2000 mL 18011003 Based on Temperature Requirements Application Recommended Model Standard Incubation 18011001 / 18011002 Low-Temperature Cultivation 18011003 Based on Laboratory Space For laboratories with limited bench space, the compact 18011001 model provides an excellent balance between footprint and performance. What is an Incubator Shaker? An incubator shaker (also known as a shaking incubator) is a laboratory instrument that combines a precision incubator and an orbital shaker in one system. The integrated heating system maintains a stable incubation temperature, while the orbital shaking platform continuously agitates culture vessels. This combination promotes oxygen transfer, nutrient distribution, and uniform growth conditions for biological samples. Incubator shakers are widely used in microbiology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, fermentation, and molecular biology laboratories.

Incubator shakers are used for microbial cultivation, cell culture, fermentation, protein expression, and other applications requiring simultaneous temperature control and agitation. What is the difference between an incubator shaker and a shaking incubator? There is no functional difference. Both terms refer to the same laboratory instrument that combines incubation and orbital shaking. Can an incubator shaker be used for mammalian cell culture? Yes. Incubator shakers are widely used for suspension cell culture and other biotechnology applications requiring controlled temperature and agitation. Can the incubator shaker run continuously? Yes. Hawach incubator shakers are designed for long-term continuous operation and feature multiple safety protection systems. Do I need a refrigerated incubator shaker? If your experiments require temperatures below ambient temperature, a refrigerated model such as 18011003 is recommended. What flask sizes are supported? Depending on the model, capacities range from 50 mL flasks up to 2000 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. What shaking speed is recommended for bacterial culture? Most bacterial cultures are commonly grown between 150-250 rpm, depending on flask size, culture volume, and oxygen transfer requirements.
