INTRODUCTION

This manual covers the specifications, operation and use of the Labnet I-531 1-DS shaking incuba­tor and its accessories. Please pay special attention to the Safety Precautions section in this
manual.

The I-531 1-DS shaking incubator from Labnet International provides an extremely stable tempera­ture environment, and an aggressive shaking motion for the mixing of materials for cell culture
growth at ambient and above ambient temperatures.

The I-531 1-DS shaking incubator uses microprocessor controls and mechanical convection to
maintain a stable temperature environment and to achieve fast chamber temperature recovery
after a door opening. The incubator interior is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resis­tance and easy clean-up of accidental spills. All incubator doors have an integral glass window and
the incubator has a light to allow observation of samples without opening the door . Each door is
fully thermal gasketed.

The I-531 1-DS shaking incubator comes with one removable full shelf and four large, rubber pad­ded adjustable feet for leveling the unit. Additional half and full shelves may be purchased. The I­531 1-DS shaking mechanism supports a wide range of optional rack and flask platforms which are
user changeable.
