ShiPing DJS-2013R-2 Plus Stackable Incubated Orbital Shaker

Overview

The ShiPing DJS-2013R-2 Plus Stackable Incubated Orbital Shaker is an engineered platform for precise, long-duration cultivation and agitation of biological samples under tightly controlled thermal and mechanical conditions. Designed around orbital shaking dynamics—where a circular motion (Φ25 mm amplitude) induces uniform mixing without vortexing—the system integrates refrigeration-assisted temperature control (4–60 °C), PID-based microprocessor regulation, and low-vibration single-axis balanced drive architecture. This configuration ensures high reproducibility in microbial growth, protein expression, cell suspension culture, enzymatic assays, and hybridization protocols. Its stackable form factor enables space-efficient deployment in multi-tier laboratory environments—particularly valuable in QC labs, bioprocessing scale-up facilities, and academic core facilities where footprint optimization and parallel experimental throughput are critical.

Key Features

• Stackable modular design supporting up to two units vertically, minimizing floor space while maintaining full operational independence per unit.
• Stainless steel interior chamber fabricated from 304-grade mirror-finish stainless steel with seamless arc-corner construction—compliant with cleaning validation requirements under GMP and ISO 14644 cleanroom-compatible maintenance protocols.
• Single-axis dynamic balance drive mechanism based on parallelogram linkage geometry—eliminating gear backlash and mechanical friction, delivering 72 h continuous).
• Imported hermetic compressor using R134a non-ozone-depleting refrigerant; frost-free evaporator design ensures uniform temperature distribution (±1 °C uniformity, ±0.1 °C accuracy) across the full 165 L working volume.
• Dual-layer tempered safety glass door with argon-filled insulating gap—enabling real-time visual monitoring at sub-ambient temperatures (down to 4 °C) without condensation or thermal distortion.
• Integrated UV germicidal lamp (8 W) and white LED illumination (8 W) for sterile workspace preparation and sample observation under controlled lighting conditions.
• Triple-layer safety architecture: independent overtemperature cutoff (mechanical + electronic), overspeed shutdown, motor current monitoring, refrigeration overload protection, and ground-fault circuit interruption.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The DJS-2013R-2 Plus accommodates standard laboratory vessels—including Erlenmeyer flasks (up to 5000 mL), test tubes, microtiter plates, and custom bioreactor bags—via interchangeable fixtures: stainless steel bottle clamps (304 mirror-finish, 360° elasticity, 420 HB hardness), spring-loaded platform inserts, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate holders. All wetted surfaces meet USP Class VI and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 traceability-ready configurations when paired with optional data logging modules. The system supports IQ/OQ/PQ documentation packages aligned with ASTM E2500-13 (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice) and ISO/IEC 17025 calibration frameworks. Its stainless steel construction and cleanable cavity comply with EN 61000-6-2 EMC immunity standards and IEC 61010-1 safety certification for laboratory equipment.

Software & Data Management

The embedded PID controller features an LCD interface with eight-segment programmable ramp-soak profiles, parameter encryption, automatic power-loss recovery, and factory-reset functionality. Optional firmware upgrades enable USB mass storage export of time-stamped temperature and RPM logs (CSV format), RS485 Modbus RTU communication for SCADA integration, and remote supervision via Ethernet/WiFi-enabled gateway modules. Audit trail functionality—including user login timestamps, parameter modification history, and alarm event logs—meets GLP/GMP audit requirements. When configured with third-party validation software, the system supports 30-point temperature mapping and rotational speed verification per ISO 17025-accredited procedures.

Applications

This shaker serves as a primary tool in upstream bioprocess development (e.g., seed train expansion, media optimization), pharmaceutical stability testing (ICH Q1A–Q5E), environmental microbiology (BOD incubation, coliform enumeration), molecular diagnostics (PCR master mix homogenization), and food safety testing (pathogen enrichment per AOAC 998.12). Its stable thermal-agitation coupling supports kinetic studies of enzyme kinetics (Michaelis-Menten analysis), biofilm formation assays, and aerobic/anaerobic bacterial fermentation under defined O₂ transfer rates. In academic research, it facilitates reproducible suspension culture of insect cells (Sf9, High Five), mammalian CHO lines, and yeast strains (S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris) across multi-day experiments.

FAQ

Can the DJS-2013R-2 Plus be validated for GMP compliance?
Yes—when equipped with optional data logging, user access control, and electronic signature modules, the system supports full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and can be qualified per Annex 15 (EU GMP) and ASTM E2500.

What is the maximum flask size supported per platform?
The platform accommodates four 5000 mL Erlenmeyer flasks simultaneously, or up to twenty 250 mL flasks, depending on fixture configuration.

Is refrigeration performance maintained during continuous operation at 4 °C?
Yes—the imported R134a compressor and optimized heat exchanger design ensure stable sub-ambient operation for >168 hours without performance degradation.

Are replacement parts and service support available internationally?
ShiPing provides OEM spare parts (bearings, compressors, PID controllers) through authorized distributors in North America, Europe, and APAC regions, with technical documentation available in English, German, and Japanese.

Does the system support external humidity control?
Humidity control is not built-in but can be integrated via optional external humidification module (sold separately), enabling combined temp/humidity profiling per ISO 14644-3 environmental testing protocols.
