The I-26/26R large stackable incubator shakers are large capacity orbital shakers that utilize a triple eccentric counter-balanced drive mechanism. They provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a 2.54 cm (1 in) diameter circular orbit. A Proportional / Integral (PI) microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the speed over a range of 25-400 rpm.
The I-26 provides temperature control from 5C above ambient to 60C. The refrigerated I-26R assures temperature control down to 15C below ambient, with a minimum setpoint of 4C. Ambient temperature is measured one meter from the front of the unit.
The shakers may be operated either continuously or in a timed mode via a programmable timer for shaking periods of 0.1 to 99.9 hours.
For safe operation, the I-26/26R models are designed with a safety switch that automatically stops the shaker mechanism when the door is opened.
The I-26/26R is equipped with visual and audible alarms that alert the user to the following conditions:
The end of a timed run Deviations from speed setpoint Deviations from temperature setpoint Power failure Door open Unstable operating conditions (tilt switch—visual alarm only)
A wide variety of slide-out platforms can be used with the I-26/26R. Dedicated platforms and universal platforms are available for a variety of flask sizes. Test tube racks, microtiter plate holders, and test tube rack holders are also available (a universal platform is needed for all test tube racks and holders). For further information on these accessories, see Section 10.3.

7.1 Platform Assemblies
The I-26/26R can be used with a New Brunswick universal, dedicated, or Sticky Pad platform. Universal platforms accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test tubes, etc. Dedicated platforms are supplied with clamps already installed. Sticky Pad platforms do not have holes because they do not require clamps; the adhesive quality of the Sticky Pad or Sticky Tape applied to the platform holds flasks in place.
Sticky Pad and Sticky Tape are options that are sold separately.
A platform is a separate item, not included with the shaker assembly, but which is required for operation. (See Section 7.3 for details about installing and removing the platform, and Section 10.3 for details about available accessories.)
7.2 Installation of Clamps
If you are not using a New Brunswick Universal Platform, skip this section. Flask clamps purchased for use with universal platforms require installation. All New Brunswick clamps are shipped complete with hardware. Clamps are installed by securing the base of the clamp to the platform with the smaller Phillips head (+) screws supplied with the New Brunswick clamps.
Clamps for 2- and 2.8-liter flasks are shipped with an additional girdle to keep the flasks in place. We strongly recommend the use of this additional girdle because it keeps the flask from spinning inside the clamp. The girdle is an assembly of springs and sections of rubber tubing. One girdle is already in place on the clamp, the other is packed separately. To install these double girdle clamps:
1. Place the clamp on the platform, aligning its mounting holes with holes on the platform. Secure the clamp in place using the flat Phillips head screws provided (#S2116-3051, 10-24 x 5/16-inch); see Figure 11b to help you identify them.
2. With the first girdle in place, as delivered, on the upper part of the clamp body (see Figure 11a), insert an empty flask into the clamp.
3. After making sure the sections of tubing are located between the clamp legs, roll the first girdle down the legs of the clamp as far as it can go. The tubing sections will rest against the platform, and the springs will be under the clamp base.
4. Place the second girdle around the upper portion of clamp body (just as the first girdle was initially). Make sure that its spring sections rest against the clamp legs, while its rubber tubing sections sit against the flask, in between the clamp legs.

7.3 Installing/Sliding out Platform
The I-26/I-26R is delivered with the subplatform bolted in place on the bearing housing. The addition of a platform is required for shaker operation.
Installing a platform of any variety is very easy:
1. Remove the two knobs and washers on the front of the subplatform.
2. Using the side handles of the platform (see Figure 12), place the platform on the guide strips on the flat of the open door.
3. Push it toward the rear of the unit, aligning the bottom of the platform with the top of the subplatform, and making sure the sides are squared up with the subplatform sides.
4. When it is fully inserted and mated to the subplatform, replace the washers and knobs on the subplatform.

achieves the set temperature.
8.7 Temperature Offset Calibration
The temperature probe and the temperature controller are calibrated together at the factory. The temperature probe measures the temperature of the air at the probe’s location, near the heat exchanger return vent. The controller uses the probe input to adjust air temperature, up or down, to match the temperature setpoint.
Depending on various conditions within the chamber, such as flask placement and size, the heat produced by growing organisms, heat losses due to liquid evaporation from flasks, etc., the display temperature may differ from temperatures within the flasks themselves.
If you wish to have the temperature display (“Indicated Temperature”) match the temperature at a given point, or match the average of a series of points within the chamber (“Actual Temperature”), proceed as follows:
1. Let the unit equilibrate at or near the desired temperature. Record the Indicated Temperature.
2. Record the Actual Temperature.
3. Calculate the temperature correction value: Actual Temperature – Indicated Temperature = Temperature Correction Value.
