CZGY TS-2112B Digital Display Orbital Incubator Shaker

Overview

The CZGY TS-2112B Digital Display Orbital Incubator Shaker is an integrated air-jacketed temperature-controlled shaker designed for precise cultivation, fermentation, hybridization, enzymatic assays, and cell/tissue culture applications in life science laboratories. It combines the thermal stability of an incubator with the mechanical reproducibility of an orbital shaker—utilizing convective air circulation for uniform temperature distribution and a brushless DC motor to deliver consistent rotational motion across its dual-tier platform system. Engineered for long-duration operation under controlled environmental conditions, the TS-2112B supports both static incubation and dynamic suspension culture workflows. Its operational range spans from refrigerated (4 °C) to elevated physiological temperatures (60 °C), making it suitable for mesophilic bacterial growth, mammalian cell expansion, yeast propagation, and biochemical reaction kinetics studies where simultaneous temperature regulation and orbital agitation are required.

Key Features

• Brushless DC motor drive ensures low-noise, maintenance-free operation with high torque stability across the full speed range (30–300 rpm); eliminates carbon brush wear and commutation-induced electrical noise.
• Dual independent timing systems: one for temperature control (0–9999 min), another for oscillation activation—enabling programmable staggered start/stop sequences critical for time-resolved experiments.
• PID-based digital temperature control with ±0.5 °C accuracy and 0.1 °C resolution; utilizes platinum resistance sensor (PT100) feedback loop for real-time thermal compensation.
• Double-layer insulated stainless steel chamber with double-door design enhances thermal retention and minimizes external heat exchange—validated for <1.2 °C internal gradient at 37 °C steady state (ASTM E1510-compliant test method).
• Orbital motion with 26 mm diameter displacement provides gentle yet effective mixing for suspension cultures without shear-induced cellular damage—optimized for E. coli, CHO, HEK293, and primary fibroblast lines.
• Integrated UV-C germicidal lamp (254 nm) and dedicated O₂ inlet port support aseptic chamber conditioning and aerobic culture requirements, aligning with GLP-compliant microbiological workflow standards.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The TS-2112B accommodates standard laboratory vessels including Erlenmeyer flasks (up to 5 L), centrifuge tubes, deep-well plates, and custom bioreactor bags via configurable clamp systems. Its 1255 × 505 mm platform dimensions per tier allow flexible arrangement of heterogeneous sample sets. The unit meets IEC 61010-1:2010 safety requirements for laboratory equipment and complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directives EN 61326-1. While not certified for medical device use under ISO 13485, its temperature and timing traceability supports audit readiness for ISO/IEC 17025-accredited testing labs and FDA-regulated R&D environments operating under 21 CFR Part 11 data integrity guidelines when paired with optional touchscreen firmware enabling electronic signature and audit trail logging.

Software & Data Management

Standard operation uses a segment-type LCD interface with tactile membrane keys supporting manual parameter entry and real-time display of setpoint/actual values for temperature, speed, and elapsed time. An optional 4.3-inch true-color capacitive touchscreen module upgrades the system with graphical trend visualization, multi-step protocol programming (up to 10 segments), password-protected user profiles, and USB export of timestamped CSV logs. Firmware supports RS-485 Modbus RTU communication for integration into centralized lab automation networks or SCADA systems—enabling remote monitoring and alarm notification via Ethernet gateway (external adapter required). All data records include ISO 8601 timestamps and comply with ALCOA+ principles when exported for regulatory submission.

Applications

• Molecular biology: Plasmid amplification in liquid culture, PCR master mix equilibration, ligase and restriction enzyme reaction incubation.
• Cell culture: Suspension-adapted mammalian line expansion (e.g., Sf9, Spodoptera frugiperda), microbial consortia co-cultivation, and biofilm formation assays under controlled aeration.
• Biopharmaceutical development: Seed train preparation, media optimization trials, and stability assessment of therapeutic proteins under thermal stress + agitation.
• Environmental microbiology: BOD testing, biodegradation kinetics of xenobiotics, and activated sludge respirometry.
• Food & beverage QA/QC: Yeast viability profiling, lactic acid bacteria fermentation monitoring, and spoilage organism enrichment protocols.

FAQ

What is the maximum flask size supported on each platform?
Each 1255 × 505 mm platform accommodates up to eight 2 L Erlenmeyer flasks using standard universal clamps; alternative mounting kits for 5 L vessels or microplate carriers are available upon request.
Does the unit support ramp-and-soak temperature profiles?
No—the base model implements single-setpoint PID control only; ramp/soak functionality requires the optional touchscreen controller with programmable protocol mode.
Is refrigeration performance validated below 10 °C?
Yes—performance verification reports confirm stable operation at 4 °C ambient (25 °C room) with ≤±0.8 °C deviation over 24 h, per ISO 8570:2017 Annex A testing protocol.
Can the UV lamp be operated while the chamber is heated?
UV sterilization is interlocked with door position and temperature; activation is disabled above 40 °C to prevent ozone accumulation and polymer degradation.
What documentation is provided for IQ/OQ validation?
Factory-supplied documents include Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) report, calibration certificate for PT100 sensor and tachometer, and electrical safety test summary—all traceable to NIST standards.
