The Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers are specifically engineered to provide reliable 24/7 operation in extreme environments, including CO2 incubators and high-humidity chambers. Designed for cell culture and life science researchers, the Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers feature a treated mechanical drive and specialized internal components that prevent corrosion and electrical failure. This ensures that your mammalian, plant, or insect cell cultures receive consistent agitation without the risk of equipment downtime.
What sets the Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers apart is their unique orbital motion and minimal heat output, which preserves the delicate temperature balance inside an incubator. For labs that require precision, these shakers are the gold standard, offering more durability than standard models like the Remi RS-24 Plus when placed in high CO2 concentrations.

Primary Uses & Research Applications
The Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers are indispensable for mammalian cell culture, protein expression, and suspension culture growth. Because they can handle up to 95% humidity, they are also used for antibody production and large-scale pharmaceutical screening. The ability to control the shaker externally prevents CO2 loss and temperature fluctuations, making the Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers the safest choice for sensitive biological samples.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is a CO2 resistant shaker necessary for incubators?
Standard shakers can corrode or short-circuit due to high humidity and CO2 levels. The Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers are built with specially treated internal parts to operate safely in these conditions.
2. Can I adjust the speed without opening the incubator?
Yes, the Thermo Scientific™ CO2 Resistant Shakers come with an external control box, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings while keeping the incubator doors closed.
3. What is the benefit of the orbital motion for cells?
The 19mm orbit provides uniform mixing and optimal aeration, which is essential for healthy cell growth and preventing sediment formation.
4. Is this shaker compatible with universal platforms?
Absolutely. It supports a wide range of platforms and flask clamps to accommodate everything from microplates to large Erlenmeyer flasks.
