Overview
The Qiangle HZL-F100 Constant-Temperature Shaking Incubator is an integrated laboratory instrument engineered for simultaneous temperature-controlled incubation and orbital shaking—optimized for microbial growth, cell culture expansion, enzyme assays, and suspension-based bioprocess development. It operates on a precisely regulated Peltier-assisted heating/cooling system coupled with a brushless DC motor-driven eccentric drive mechanism to deliver stable, low-vibration orbital motion (typically 20–300 rpm) across a defined temperature range (ambient +5 °C to 65 °C). The unit features a vertical upright cabinet design with double-layer tempered glass door, internal LED lighting, and a stainless-steel chamber (304 grade) resistant to corrosion from aqueous and mild organic media. Its architecture conforms to fundamental requirements of ISO 13485-aligned manufacturing practices for laboratory equipment and supports routine validation protocols under GLP-compliant environments.
Key Features
- Stable temperature control with ±0.3 °C uniformity (at 37 °C) and ±0.5 °C accuracy across the working range
- Orbital shaking platform with adjustable speed (20–300 rpm), programmable ramping, and real-time digital feedback
- Intelligent microprocessor controller with 7-inch capacitive touchscreen interface, multi-step program storage (up to 10 programs, each with 8 segments)
- Dual independent safety systems: over-temperature cut-off and motor overload protection with audible/visual alarm
- Chamber volume of 100 L with removable stainless-steel shelves (standard configuration: 2 shelves; optional third shelf available)
- Low-noise operation (<55 dB(A) at 1 m), energy-efficient design meeting IEC 60335-1 safety standards
- Optional CO₂ compatibility kit (requires external gas supply and analog regulator) for extended mammalian suspension culture applications
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The HZL-F100 accommodates standard laboratory vessels including Erlenmeyer flasks (50–2000 mL), baffled flasks, deep-well plates, and custom bioreactor bags mounted on compatible clamps or trays. Chamber geometry allows for flexible load configurations without compromising airflow distribution or thermal homogeneity. The device complies with CE marking requirements (2014/30/EU EMC Directive and 2014/35/EU LVD Directive) and meets essential performance criteria referenced in ASTM E171–22 (Standard Specification for Environmental Chambers) and ISO 20387:2018 (Biobanking—General Requirements for Biobank Operations). It supports audit-ready documentation for laboratories operating under FDA 21 CFR Part 11–enabled workflows when paired with validated data logging software.
Software & Data Management
The built-in controller enables local data logging of temperature, shaking speed, and runtime (up to 999 hours per session) with timestamped CSV export via USB port. Optional Ethernet/Wi-Fi module (Qiangle QLink v3.2 firmware) provides remote monitoring, alarm notification via SMTP/email, and integration into centralized lab infrastructure via Modbus TCP or HTTP REST API. All logged parameters are traceable with user-accessible audit trails, supporting ALCOA+ principles (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available) required in GxP-regulated settings.
Applications
- High-yield aerobic bacterial cultivation (e.g., E. coli, Bacillus subtilis) in LB or TB media
- Suspension-adapted CHO and HEK293 cell line expansion prior to transfection or bioreactor inoculation
- Enzyme kinetic studies requiring precise thermal and mixing control (e.g., lipase hydrolysis, polymerase activity assays)
- Environmental microbiology: enrichment cultures for heterotrophic plate count (HPC) and coliform detection
- Pharmaceutical stability testing per ICH Q1A(R2) guidelines using shake-flask models
- Yeast fermentation optimization (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae) under controlled O₂ transfer conditions
FAQ
What is the maximum flask size supported on the standard platform?
The standard platform accommodates up to four 2 L Erlenmeyer flasks or eight 1 L flasks with proper balancing. Custom platform inserts are available for 5 L vessels upon request.
Does the HZL-F100 support humidity control?
No—this model does not include active humidification. For applications requiring >70% RH, users should employ sealed vessels or integrate external humidification modules compatible with third-party environmental chambers.
Is calibration certificate included with shipment?
A factory-issued temperature and speed verification report is provided. Full UKAS-accredited calibration (per ISO/IEC 17025) is available as an optional service with lead time.
Can the unit be operated inside a biosafety cabinet?
Due to its rear ventilation requirements and heat dissipation profile, standalone operation outside containment is recommended. Integration into Class II BSCs is not advised without prior thermal and airflow validation.
What is the warranty coverage and service response time?
Standard warranty: 24 months parts and labor. Extended service contracts include on-site preventive maintenance and priority technical support within 48 business hours in major EU/NA logistics hubs.
