Boxun BSD-WX(F)3280 High-Capacity Horizontal Incubator Shaker

Overview

The Boxun BSD-WX(F)3280 is a high-capacity horizontal incubator shaker engineered for precision-controlled cell culture, microbial fermentation, enzymatic assays, and hybridization protocols requiring simultaneous regulation of temperature and mechanical agitation. It operates on dual-mode oscillation—orbital (circular motion) and reciprocating (linear back-and-forth motion)—each independently configurable to match the hydrodynamic requirements of diverse biological systems. The unit integrates PID-based temperature control with forced-air convection, ensuring thermal uniformity across the entire chamber volume (±1°C at 25°C, empty), while its brushless DC motor delivers consistent torque and speed stability—even at low rotational setpoints—eliminating vibration-induced shear variability critical in sensitive suspension cultures or fragile tissue-derived samples.

Key Features

• Intelligent microprocessor controller with audible/visual alarm system for environmental anomalies (e.g., overtemperature, motor overload, power interruption)
• Large backlit LCD display showing real-time and setpoint values for temperature, speed, amplitude, and remaining time
• Parameter lock function prevents unauthorized modification during unattended operation
• Programmable multi-segment curve control (up to 10 segments) supporting complex incubation-agitation profiles
• Extended timer capability (0–999 hours) with automatic shutdown and alarm upon completion
• Brushless DC motor architecture ensures maintenance-free operation, zero carbon dust emission, and stable low-speed performance (±1 rpm accuracy)
• Imported precision bearings reduce operational noise (<55 dB[A]) and extend service life beyond 20,000 operating hours
• Robust stainless-steel interior (electropolished mirror finish), static-dissipative powder-coated exterior, and reinforced tempered glass observation window
• Chamber features radius-rounded corners, integrated gas inlet port (for N₂/CO₂ purging), dual safety interlocks (door switch + independent overtemperature cutoff), and smooth-start acceleration profile to protect sample integrity

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The BSD-WX(F)3280 accommodates volumetric configurations from 50 mL test tubes to 5 L bioreactor flasks, with standard and optional bottle clamps supporting Erlenmeyer, baffled, and Fernbach-style vessels. Its working chamber (1010 × 590 × 470 mm) enables parallel processing of up to 75 × 100 mL flasks or 15 × 2 L flasks under uniform thermal and mechanical conditions. Designed for GLP-compliant laboratories, the system supports audit-ready operation through optional data logging modules compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (when paired with validated software). All thermal and rotational specifications meet ISO 13485 design controls for medical device R&D environments and align with ASTM E1545-22 guidelines for incubator shaker performance verification.

Software & Data Management

While the base unit operates via embedded firmware, optional connectivity modules enable integration into centralized lab infrastructure: USB data export (CSV format), RS-485 Modbus RTU communication for SCADA linkage, and GPRS-enabled remote SMS alerts for critical fault events (e.g., temperature excursion >±3°C, power loss >5 min). An optional thermal printer provides hard-copy traceability of run logs—including timestamps, setpoints, deviations, and operator ID—satisfying internal QA documentation requirements. When used with Boxun’s LabLink™ PC software (v3.2+), users gain access to real-time graphing, historical trend analysis, electronic signature support, and automated report generation aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 clause 7.7.

Applications

This shaker serves as a core platform in academic research labs studying bacterial growth kinetics (E. coli, Bacillus spp.), yeast expression systems (Pichia pastoris), mammalian suspension cultures (CHO, HEK293), and filamentous fungal fermentations. In pharmaceutical development, it supports solubility screening, dissolution testing per USP , and stability-indicating assay preparation. Food safety labs employ it for pathogen enrichment (Salmonella, Listeria), while environmental microbiology groups use it for biodegradation rate studies under controlled aerobic conditions. Its wide amplitude and speed range also make it suitable for solid-phase synthesis support, antibody conjugation reactions, and nucleic acid hybridization optimization.

FAQ

What is the maximum load capacity per shelf?
The single stainless-steel shelf supports up to 35 kg uniformly distributed, verified at 300 rpm orbital mode without resonance amplification.
Does the unit comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards?
Yes—certified to IEC 61326-1:2023 for laboratory equipment, including radiated/conducted emissions and electrostatic discharge immunity (Level 3, 8 kV contact).

Can the shaker operate continuously for 999 hours without manual intervention?
Yes—provided ambient conditions remain within specified limits (10–30°C, ≤80% RH non-condensing) and no fault condition triggers an auto-shutdown event.

Is calibration documentation included with shipment?
A factory-issued calibration certificate (traceable to NIM, China) covering temperature uniformity, speed accuracy, and timer linearity is supplied; user-performed periodic verification follows ISO/IEC 17025 Annex A.3 procedures.

Are replacement parts and service support available internationally?
Boxun maintains authorized service partners in Germany, USA, Singapore, and Brazil; spare parts inventory includes motor assemblies, PID controllers, and chamber insulation kits with lead times under 14 business days.
