Flexibility
Benchtop, oor and stackable models are available fully equipped with incubation,refrigeration and water bath options to accommodate any application and budget.Customizable solutions allow you to choose your platform for maximum exibilityand capacity. Platforms allow the addition and interchangeability of clamps that holdvarious sizes of Thermo Scientic™ Nalgene™ Erlenmeyer asks, beakers, test tuberacks, separatory funnels and Thermo Scientic™ Nunc™ microwell plates.
Reliability
Our outstanding drive mechanisms provide continuous 24-hour operation and allowyou to shake large and uneven loads, smoothly and uniformly. These innovativedesigns are available on all Thermo Scientic orbital shakers and both designs comewith a 10-year warranty on drive mechanisms.
Simplicity
Easy-to-use controls are designed to precisely adjust individual displays fortemperature, speed and time. View all parameters simultaneously to prevent risk oferror while establishing running conditions.
outstanding, reliable shaker
You invest a lot into the preparation of your samples from growing cultures that
produce DNA or proteins to staining gels and much more. Thermo Scientic™
MaxQ™ shakers deliver outstanding performance, accuracy and reproducible
results year after year.
Our orbital shaker designs provide reliable aroundthe-clock operation ideally suited to keep your cells
alive and flourishing within your working environment.
Delivering reliability, simplicity and flexibility, our orbital
shakers are easy to operate, offer a wide range of
options that can grow with you, and will be a partner in
your lab for many years — allowing you to spend more
time pursuing your objectives and less time managing
your shakers.

Maximizes flexibility and production
capability in a convenient stackable design
• Units can be stacked two to three high for space savings with a speed
range of 25 to 400 rpm ±1 rpm
• HEPA filter evenly distributes air inside the chamber and reduces cross
contamination improving culturing conditions; rated at 95% efficient at
0.3 microns for entrapment of airborne particles
• Ergonomically designed fold down door and a platform that slides out 100%
with a maximum platform height of 61" (154.9 cm) when stacked three units
high improves sample handling
• Stacking kit is FREE with every unit
• User interface displays both set and actual run conditions to simplify
programming and prevent entry error
• Crevice-free stainless steel interior with coved corners and built-in drain
keeps spills within work area and promotes easy cleaning
• All maintenance can be handled from the front of the unit without having to
move or unstack the shakers
• Chamber is tall enough to accommodate 2L Erlenmeyer flasks
• Standard remote alarm contacts allow convenient monitoring of alarm
conditions from another location

Your sample monitoring just got easier.
Our MaxQ high performance shakers feature a backlit display that can be viewed
in bright or dimly lit conditions. It contains both run points and set points of
temperature, speed and time which can be viewed simultaneously, preventing
toggling from one display to another.
Your cultures need to be protected.
That’s why our MaxQ high performance shakers feature set point security which
restricts unauthorized or inadvertent changes to key functions. To ensure the safety
of your samples, our shakers are equipped with alarm contacts allowing them to be
connected to remote alarms making you aware of how the shaker is performing at
all times, safeguarding both the shaker and contents.
Your cultures require optimum growth.
Even when the shaker is fully loaded with samples, outstanding temperature
uniformity is provided due to laminar airow and a HEPA ltration system.
Low end temperature of 4°C is achieved efciently and effectively by the ltered
front to back refrigeration system airow. This design outperforms side-to-back
and back-to-back airow designs even in high ambients.

Choice of two platform sizes
maximizes capacity
• Low heat 24V DC motor with moisture resistant electronics provides
continuous maintenance-free operation on the benchtop or in a chamber
• Triple counter-balanced mechanism for optimum handling of full or
unbalanced loads regardless of vessel placement and completely
eliminates walking
• Units operate in temperature range of 4°C to +40°C and humidity
conditions from 50 to 80% non-condensing enabling them to be used
in a variety of environments
• Oversized, adjustable suction cup feet minimize vibration

Enhance your shakers with Thermo Scientific Labware
In your lab, quality means reproducibility, so trust your cultures only to the most dependable materials.
Complement your Thermo
Scientific MaxQ shakers with
Thermo Scientific Nalgene
Sterile Single-Use
Erlenmeyer Flasks
Thermo Scientic™ Nalgene™ PETG asks are ideal for
suspension cell culture, media preparation, mixing and storage.
Our sterile, single-use flasks are made of light, break resistant, crystal clear
PETG and come with either a solid cap or vented cap for sterile gas exchange.
All sizes are available with plain bottom or with baffled bottom for use on the
bench top or shaker table.
• Sterile and single use: reduce contamination risk
• Robust and break resistant: increase personal safety
• Collapses when autoclaved: reduce biohazardous waste
• Graduated for quick volume assessment
• Excellent validation support: validation binder available
