MILFORD, Mass. (January 15, 2009) — Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced the new Thermo Scientific MaxQTM 8000 series of stackable shakers. Offering the highest levels of performance, reliability and space savings compared to traditional orbital shakers, the MaxQ 8000 stackable orbital shaker is an ideal choice for laboratories shaking large quantities of flasks in a minimal space.
The MaxQ 8000 stackable shakers offer several unique features such as run points and set points for temperature, speed and time, displayed simultaneously for convenient run cycle monitoring. A built-in HEPA filter minimizes the chance of cross-contamination as well as ensuring that air inside the chamber remains clean. The fold-down door with ergonomically designed handle allows the shaker platform to slide out, enabling easy access for loading and unloading of samples. Safety is ensured by a flip-down handle/latch on the quick-release base, preventing the shaker from running if the platform is not secure. In addition, all stacking hardware is included so no additional accessories need to be purchased.
The chamber of the shaker is made of crevice-free type 304 stainless steel with coved corners and contains a built-in drain that keeps spills within the work area for easy cleaning. Electronic components and the HEPA filter are easily accessed from the front of the unit, eliminating the need to move the shaker during regular maintenance or service.
