3.5 Platform assemblies

Neither the Innova 2000 nor the 2050 can be used without a platform. One must be purchased and installed
on your shaker prior to operation (see Platforms on p. 31).

The Innova 2000 can be used with a wide range of New Brunswick 28 cm x 33 cm (11 in × 13 in) platforms,
which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc (see Tab. on p. 31).

The Innova 2050 can accommodate an even wider range of New Brunswick 30.5 cm × 40.6 cm (12 in x
16 in) platforms, which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc (see Tab. on p. 31).

3.6 Heavy duty construction

3.6.1 Bearings

Innova shakers employ sealed lubricated ball bearings of the highest quality. Sealed bearings minimize the
generation of airborne particles that could be disadvantageous in clean rooms or controlled environment
areas.
