Working Purpose
The CO₂ Incubator with Shaker OPX-265 is designed to provide a controlled environment for biological samples that require regulated temperature and carbon dioxide levels, with optional agitation during incubation.
The temperature control system maintains the selected operating temperature, while the CO₂ sensor monitors carbon dioxide concentration. The integrated shaker provides adjustable agitation to help mix culture media and improve gas exchange in suitable applications.
For experiments requiring static incubation, the shaker platform can be removed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The combination of incubation control and shaking functionality makes the OPX-265 useful for laboratory workflows involving cell cultures and other biological samples that require specific environmental conditions.
Applications
The OPXICA CO₂ Incubator with Shaker OPX-265 is intended for suitable applications in:
- Cell culture and biotechnology research.
- Microbiology and life science laboratories.
- Pharmaceutical research and development.
- Biological sample incubation.
- Research involving suspension cell cultures.
- Laboratory studies requiring controlled CO₂ and temperature.
- Bioprocess development and culture optimization.
- Academic and institutional research laboratories.
The appropriate operating conditions depend on the organism, cell type, culture vessel, and experimental protocol.
Compatible Shaker Accessories
Depending on the selected configuration, compatible accessories may include:
- Universal shaker platform.
- Sticky platform for suitable culture vessels.
- Erlenmeyer flask clamps for 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL flasks.
- Test tube clamps.
- 96-well plate holders.
Accessory availability and compatibility should be confirmed when ordering.
