ShiPing SPH-2102 Vertical Dual-Door Double-Layer Full-Temperature Incubated Orbital Shaker

Overview

The ShiPing SPH-2102 is a vertically configured, dual-door, double-layer incubated orbital shaker engineered for high-capacity, temperature-controlled cultivation and mixing of biological samples in research, bioprocessing, and quality control laboratories. It operates on the principle of orbital motion—generating uniform circular agitation at precisely regulated speeds—to ensure consistent suspension, aeration, and mass transfer across culture vessels. Its full-temperature capability (4°C–60°C) enables both low-temperature preservation and elevated-temperature expression protocols, while the dual-layer architecture maximizes volumetric throughput without compromising footprint efficiency. Designed for scalability from bench-scale optimization to pilot-scale production, the SPH-2102 integrates thermoelectric cooling and resistive heating within a single chamber, maintaining ±0.1°C temperature accuracy and ±1°C uniformity per ISO 13485-aligned thermal validation protocols. The system complies with IEC 61010-1 safety standards for laboratory equipment and supports GLP/GMP traceability through parameter logging and audit-ready event records.

Key Features

• Vertical dual-door double-layer configuration: Optimized spatial utilization with two independently accessible stainless-steel shelves (734 × 464 mm each), supporting up to 104 × 100 mL or 24 × 1000 mL flasks per layer.
• PID microprocessor controller with backlit LCD dual-display: Simultaneously monitors and sets real-time temperature, oscillation speed, elapsed time, and remaining timer duration.
• CFC-free R134a refrigeration system: Meets international environmental regulations (EU F-Gas Regulation, EPA SNAP) and ensures stable sub-ambient operation down to 4°C with 230 W cooling capacity.
• Balanced single-shaft drive mechanism (Chinese Patent ZL2018XXXXXXX.X): Delivers low-noise (<55 dB[A]), low-vibration performance and extends motor service life; eliminates carbon brushes and requires no routine lubrication.
• Comprehensive safety architecture: Independent over-temperature cutoff, door-interlock shutdown, leakage current protection, and automatic power resumption after grid interruption—all certified to IEC 61010-1 Class II insulation requirements.
• Programmable multi-segment operation: Supports up to eight-step time-temperature-speed profiles for complex fermentation or induction protocols, including ramp-hold cycles and repeated sequences.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The SPH-2102 accommodates standard microbiological and molecular biology vessels—including Erlenmeyer flasks (100–1000 mL), test tubes, deep-well plates, and custom bioreactor bags—on its mirror-finish 304 stainless-steel shelves. Its internal chamber (850 × 520 × 760 mm H) permits stacking of tall culture vessels while maintaining unobstructed airflow via high-efficiency axial circulation fans. The unit meets ISO 14644-1 Class 8 cleanroom compatibility when equipped with optional UV germicidal lamps (254 nm) and HEPA-filtered air inlets. For regulated environments, it supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance when integrated with validated data acquisition software (e.g., LabArchives or Empower 3), providing electronic signatures, audit trails, and immutable parameter logs.

Software & Data Management

While the SPH-2102 operates autonomously via its embedded PID controller, it features RS-485 communication ports (Modbus RTU protocol) for integration into centralized lab automation networks. Optional PC-based software enables remote monitoring, historical trend analysis, and export of CSV-formatted datasets—including timestamped temperature, speed, and alarm events—for inclusion in SOP documentation and regulatory submissions. All parameter changes are logged with user ID, timestamp, and pre/post values, fulfilling ALCOA+ data integrity principles. Firmware updates are performed via USB interface with cryptographic signature verification to prevent unauthorized modification.

Applications

• Microbial and mammalian cell culture expansion under controlled O₂ transfer conditions
• Plasmid amplification and protein expression in E. coli and yeast systems
• Antibiotic susceptibility testing and MIC determination per CLSI M07-A10 guidelines
• Enzyme kinetics assays requiring precise thermal and mechanical consistency
• Diagnostic sample homogenization for ELISA, PCR, and lateral flow assay preparation
• Pharmaceutical stability studies (ICH Q1A–Q5C) involving temperature-cycled dissolution and extraction

FAQ

Does the SPH-2102 support humidity control?

No—humidity regulation is not integrated; however, optional external humidification modules or sealed chamber inserts can be deployed for specific applications requiring >60% RH.

Can the shaker accommodate flask clamps for different neck sizes?

Yes—the standard shelf includes universal spring-loaded clamps compatible with 24–100 mm flask diameters; custom clamp kits (e.g., for 500 mL Fernbach or 2 L baffled flasks) are available as accessories.

Is calibration certificate included with shipment?

A factory-issued temperature and speed calibration report (traceable to NIM, China) is provided; third-party ISO/IEC 17025-certified calibration services are available upon request.

What is the warranty coverage?

Standard 24-month parts-and-labor warranty covering all components except consumables (e.g., fuses, gaskets); extended service contracts include preventive maintenance and on-site technician support.

How is firmware updated?

Via USB flash drive using signed firmware packages distributed through ShiPing’s secure customer portal; update process preserves all user-defined settings and historical logs.
