Our Testing Process

1. The shaking incubator technician pre-tests the unit’s heating and cooling (if applicable) and ensures the unit shakes and spins. If anything is not working, necessary diagnosis and fix are done before continuing to the next testing step.
2. The shaking incubator technician runs the shaking platform to the maximum and minimum specifications to make sure that it will get up to where it needs to and to listen for bearing noise or other rubbing noises.
3. The shaking platforms are disassembled, cleaned, and greased where necessary including the shaking mechanisms. The shaking incubator technician inspects the belts, fans, and power button circuit and proceed with necessary repair/s.
4. The incubator technician tests the heat with our NIST traceable incubator thermometers for the temperature to steady at 37°C setpoint. If necessary, calibration is performed.
5. If the unit is equipped with CO2, the incubator technician calibrates the CO2 to zero.
6. The incubator technician looks over various parts of the unit such as feet, fans, front panel, etc. Redecal, repaint, and replace parts are performed if necessary.

Our Incubator Shaker Technician Checklist
After our incubator technician finishes the initial testing process, this Incubator Shaker Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be available publicly after the unit has undergone tech completion and is ready for the customers. 


 

MaxQ Incubator Shaker Applications

  • Fermentation/Cell Culture The shaker helps maintain uniform mixing of culture medium, which is critical for maintaining consistent conditions during microbial fermentation.
  • Protein Expression and Purification - The shaking ensures aeration and nutrient mixing, while the incubation provides the necessary temperature conditions for growth. This shaker is useful for optimizing conditions during the expression phase before moving to purification processes. 
  • Enzyme Reactions - In enzyme kinetic studies, researchers use the shaker to maintain uniform conditions for enzyme reactions that require precise temperature control and consistent mixing. The shaker can also facilitate the incubation of enzyme-substrate mixtures, ensuring that all components are evenly mixed throughout the reaction.
  • Microbiological Testing - The shaker can help in testing the efficacy of antibiotics by incubating bacterial cultures while shaking them. For understanding the growth rate of microorganisms under various conditions, the incubator shaker can monitor and maintain optimal growth environments.
  • DNA and RNA Work - In PCR optimization, the shaker can help provide precise and stable conditions for reactions requiring consistent agitation and temperature control. In hybridization, the incubator shaker ensures that the probes and target sequences are uniformly mixed and incubated at the required temperature for accurate results.
  • Chemical and Biochemical Reactions - For gentle mixing, like biochemical assays, the incubator shaker can ensure proper distribution of reagents. 
  • Tissue Culture - For certain types of tissue cultures, the incubator shaker can provide a gentle shaking action to ensure that cell monolayers grow evenly and receive sufficient nutrients.
