Used & Refurbished New Brunswick Incubating Shakers

Some New Brunswick Innova incubating shakers can support advanced temperature programming, but the capability depends on the model and controller generation. Multistage profiles typically mean stepping or ramping setpoints while maintaining a stable shaking speed under load. 

When evaluating used or refurbished equipment, confirm the installed controller, the included documentation and whether the unit was tested under a duty cycle similar to yours. New Life Scientific can help you identify a configuration that fits your workflow and verify what is included with the specific unit you are considering.

Retrofitting depends on the shaker platform and the feature you are trying to add. Incubating shakers are primarily designed for temperature and agitation, while CO2 and humidity control are often handled by dedicated CO2 incubators or specialized chamber configurations. 

If CO2 sensing or humidity control is required, confirm whether the manufacturer offered a compatible option for that series and whether it is still available. Share your model and requirements, and we can help you identify realistic paths forward and avoid purchasing a configuration that cannot meet your environment's needs. If you already have a target chamber condition, include it in your inquiry so we can narrow options faster.

Connectivity and diagnostics vary by generation. Newer controllers may offer better event logging and service indicators, while older systems rely on scheduled maintenance and performance checks. For many labs, the most reliable approach is to maintain the components that support uptime: drive mechanisms, bearings, belts and temperature-control performance. If IoT-style features are a must-have, we can help you compare controller types and identify models that align with your facility standards.

Vibration and noise depend on the model, operating speed, platform size and the unit's loading. Many issues stem from practical factors such as uneven loading or operating outside the recommended capacity. When evaluating a unit, focus on performance under realistic loads and typical speeds. It also helps to confirm the platform and clamp setup you plan to use, since accessories can change load balance and behavior at higher RPM during routine day-to-day operation.

Temperature uniformity expectations should be tied to the specific model, chamber design, airflow and loading patterns. Rather than relying on a single number, the best practice is to verify the unit reaches and holds setpoints consistently across your operating range. 

New Life Scientific tests equipment for performance, function and operability before sale. If tight control is critical for your work, share your setpoints and tolerances so we can help you select the right configuration and set clear expectations before shipment. For stacked configurations, it can also help to note whether you plan to run different conditions simultaneously.
