CZGY GYGZ-2X Illuminated Temperature- and Humidity-Controlled Orbital Shaking Incubator

Overview

The CZGY GYGZ-2X Illuminated Temperature- and Humidity-Controlled Orbital Shaking Incubator integrates precision environmental control with stable orbital agitation to support aerobic microbial growth, cell suspension culture, enzyme kinetics, and photobiological studies under reproducible, multi-parameter conditions. Engineered for laboratory-scale bioprocess development and long-term biological assays, it employs air-jacketed thermal regulation combined with a brushless DC motor-driven shaking mechanism—ensuring low-vibration, low-noise, and maintenance-free operation over extended duty cycles. The unit maintains simultaneous control of temperature (4–60 °C), relative humidity (50–90 %RH), and tunable white-light illumination (≥12,000 lux, 3-sided, six-step intensity adjustment), enabling simulation of diurnal light-dark cycles critical for plant tissue culture, algal cultivation, circadian rhythm research, and phototrophic fermentation.

Key Features

• Double-layer orbital platform design (2 × 790 × 555 mm) optimized for high-capacity flask and microplate handling without cross-platform interference
• Brushless DC motor with closed-loop speed feedback ensures ±1 rpm accuracy across full 30–300 rpm range and eliminates carbon brush wear or electromagnetic noise
• Fuzzy PID temperature and humidity control algorithms deliver ±0.5 °C temperature fluctuation and ±5 %RH humidity stability, validated per ISO 17025 traceable protocols
• Three-side LED illumination system (front + left + right) provides uniform irradiance distribution; light intensity is digitally selectable across six discrete levels to emulate natural photoperiods
• Stainless steel interior chamber (890 × 665 × 900 mm) with double-wall insulation and seamless welds meets GLP-compliant cleaning and sterilization requirements (autoclavable accessories supported)
• Segment-type LCD interface with dedicated parameter keys enables intuitive setting of temperature, humidity, speed, orbit, illumination level, and timer (0–9999 min/h in minute- or hour-based increments)
• Integrated safety architecture includes over-temperature cutoff, motor stall protection, door-open alarm, and compressor thermal overload safeguard

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The GYGZ-2X accommodates standard culture vessels—including Erlenmeyer flasks (50–5000 mL), baffled flasks, Petri dishes, deep-well plates, and custom bioreactor sleeves—via its universal stainless steel spring clamps. Its 532 L working volume supports parallel processing of up to 48 × 500 mL flasks or 12 × 2 L vessels per layer. The unit complies with IEC 61010-1:2010 for electrical safety in laboratory equipment and incorporates design features aligned with ISO 20387:2018 (biobanking environmental monitoring) and USP (analytical instrument qualification). Humidity generation uses ultrasonic humidification (external water reservoir), avoiding steam condensation risks inside the chamber. All control parameters are logged internally with timestamping, supporting audit-ready data integrity under FDA 21 CFR Part 11 when paired with optional external data acquisition software.

Software & Data Management

While the GYGZ-2X operates as a standalone instrument with embedded firmware, it supports RS-485 serial communication (Modbus RTU protocol) for integration into centralized lab monitoring systems. Optional PC-based software enables real-time remote supervision, historical trend analysis (temperature, humidity, speed, illumination), and automated report generation compliant with GLP documentation standards. Data export formats include CSV and PDF; event logs capture parameter changes, alarms, and door-opening events with user ID tagging where authentication is enabled. Firmware updates are performed via USB port using signed binary packages to ensure system integrity.

Applications

• Phototrophic microorganism cultivation (e.g., Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, cyanobacteria) under controlled light/dark regimens
• Suspension culture of mammalian and insect cells requiring precise O₂ transfer and thermal stability
• Enzymatic reaction profiling across temperature and illumination gradients
• Seed germination and plant callus propagation under simulated greenhouse conditions
• Environmental stress response assays (e.g., heat shock, desiccation, photooxidative stress) in model organisms
• QC testing of probiotic viability, yeast fermentation kinetics, and antibiotic susceptibility in liquid media

FAQ

What is the maximum flask size supported on each platform?
Each 790 × 555 mm platform accommodates up to twelve 2 L baffled flasks or forty-eight 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks using the standard spring clamp configuration.
Does the unit include an internal humidifier or require external water supply?
It features an integrated ultrasonic humidifier with a 4 L external reservoir; no plumbing connection is required.
Can illumination be programmed to cycle automatically between day/night modes?
Yes—the timer function allows independent scheduling of light-on/light-off sequences synchronized with temperature and speed profiles.
Is the chamber pressure-rated or suitable for anaerobic applications?
No. The GYGZ-2X is designed for ambient-pressure aerobic environments only; it does not support gas mixing, vacuum, or positive-pressure sealing.
What calibration documentation is provided upon delivery?
A factory calibration certificate (traceable to NIM, China) covering temperature, humidity, and speed sensors is included; users may perform field verification using Class A PT100 probes and NIST-traceable hygrometers.
