Choose the MaxQ 5000 for easy-to-use operation:
- Easy-access side drain system permits easy clean up of spills
- Drip pan built into the chamber floor under the platform contains spills.
- Easily accommodates six 4-liter flasks, four 6-liter flasks, or six 28-ml Fernbach flasks using the 30 X 18” platform.
- Wide temperature range, 10°C above ambient to 60°C on incubated models; 15°C below ambient to 60°C on refrigerated models.
- Retractable foot casters allow easy manipulation in the lab.
- Triple eccentric drive handles heavy loads, uniform agitation and continuous 24-hour operation, even at high speeds.
- Monitor and control chamber temperature range with ±0.1°C accuracy at 37°C.
Dial it in using the analog operating system
- Variable speed from 40 to 400 rpm, controlled by a rotary dial monitored accurately by a traditional tachometer.
- Easy-to-read LED digital temperature display.
- Perfom rtimed studies with timed operation from 1 to 60 minutes or operate shaker in continuous mode.
Easy-to-use controls with the digital operating system
- Variable speed control from 15 to 500 rpm.
- Continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hour up to 999 hours or 0.1 minute to 999 minutes.
- View speed, time and temperature simultaneously on three separate displays.
- Visual/audible alarms alert you to temperature deviations. Heat turns off if temperature deviates ±1°C of setpoint.
- Soft start feature eliminates sudden starts and stops, splashing of vessel contents or wetting of flask closure.
- Solid state DC brushless motor is maintenance free.
Safety first Over-temperature safety feature with independent thermostat provides additional backup by controlling heat if main temperature controller fails.
