IKA’s INC 125 FS is the first incubator shaker with a patented removable shaking platform. With the platform removed, the device can also be used as a normal static incubator. This allows the device to be very flexible particularly for laboratories where space or budget is limited and it is useful to have a single device perform both functions.
The patented platform has been designed to make loading simple using clips or adhesive mats to secure culture flasks. At the marked line, it is tilt-proof and can be loaded without having to reach into the back of the chamber. The INC 125 FS digital also recognizes if the shaking platform is connected automatically.
In addition to the shaking platform, the device also holds grid trays for static incubation of additional samples allowing complete use of the available chamber space.
As the INC 125 FS digital has a removable shaking platform, it has fewer dead spots and is particularly easy to clean. The outer door can be opened up to an angle of 180° and the unit is equipped with interior lighting.
To prevent cross contamination, there is a decontamination mode. A temperature of 120°C is used to kill off any remaining organisms.
The INC 125 FS digital incubator shaker can also be stacked two high to save space in the lab using appropriate accessories. It is also possible to stack IKA’s static only incubator with the incubator shaker. This allows extra flexibility for scientists to use their laboratory space effectively.
