Orbital Shaking Incubator Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-RE-2080
Jlab Export is a leading Orbital Shaking Incubator Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
This orbital shaking incubator keeps culture flasks at a set temperature while the platform under them moves in a small circle. The broth keeps swirling and taking in air. The standard model works from 5 °C above room temperature to 60 °C, with the platform speed variable up to 200 rpm. Its double doors have double-glass windows for checking the flasks.

Shake-Flask Practicals for Students
Microbiology and biotechnology students use the incubator for a growth-curve practical with bacteria or yeast in broth. Cultures go into Narrow Neck Conical Flasks, Erlenmeyer, Borosilicate Glass closed with cotton plugs. Samples taken at fixed intervals are read in a Digital Photoelectric Colorimeter, and a plot of optical density against time shows the lag, log and stationary phases.
A second exercise compares a shaken flask with a still flask at the same temperature, which shows how aeration speeds up growth. Teachers can also run small fermentation or enzyme production trials, then spin the broth in a Centrifuge to separate the cells from the liquid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How full should each flask be for good aeration?
Keep the broth well below the flask capacity, so there is room to swirl and a wide surface for air to dissolve. Many labs fill a flask to only a small part of its volume. An overfilled flask splashes the cotton plug and the culture grows more slowly.
Can the standard model incubate below room temperature?
No. The standard model controls from 5 °C above ambient up to 60 °C, so it only heats. The second version is set from 10 °C to 50 °C and adds a light, a 0–24 hour day-night timer and a microprocessor PID digital controller.
What shaking speed should I set?
Speed is variable up to 200 rpm. Start low and raise it until the liquid swirls smoothly round the flask wall without wetting the plug. Larger or fuller flasks usually need a gentler setting than small flasks with little broth.
How should I load the platform?
Spread the flasks evenly over the interchangeable platform and secure each one before you start. An uneven load makes the platform wobble and can loosen flasks at higher speeds. Watch them through the double-glass window instead of opening the doors during a run.
Why is a 3 kVA voltage stabiliser recommended?
The incubator runs on 220 V AC, 50 Hz single phase. An automatic stabiliser evens out mains voltage swings, which helps the heater, motor and controller hold their settings through runs that last a day or more.
