Microbial culture shaking incubator systems from Biostream, available through Apex Scientific, are engineered for reliable cultivation of microbial samples, including bacterial cultures, yeast, fungi, and other microorganisms. Combining a precision incubator with a high-performance shaker, these systems provide stable temperature control, uniform orbital agitation, and flexible cooling options to support consistent laboratory results. Their compact, stackable modular design maximizes valuable bench space while allowing laboratories to expand capacity as research demands increase.
Designed for laboratories throughout South Africa, the Microbial culture shaking incubator range delivers dependable performance for microbiology, biotechnology, molecular biology, protein expression, and fermentation workflows. Apex Scientific supplies this advanced laboratory equipment with expert local support, helping laboratories select the most suitable solution for their application.
Optimized for microbial cultivation
The Microbial culture shaking incubator is ideal for applications requiring accurate incubation and vigorous shaking. It is well suited for bacterial, yeast, and fungi cultivation, while also providing gentle agitation for insect cell culture and other sensitive biological samples. Furthermore, the system supports molecular biology applications such as protein expression, where consistent environmental control is essential for reproducible results.
Because temperature stability and shaking performance work together, laboratories can confidently cultivate a wide variety of microorganisms under controlled conditions.
Flexible temperature control
Different laboratory applications require different incubation temperatures. Therefore, Biostream offers several cooling configurations to suit diverse research environments.
For laboratories operating close to ambient conditions, the standard model provides efficient operation without additional cooling. Where lower temperatures are required, optional Peltier cooling delivers quiet, vibration-free performance without compressors or chemical refrigerants. Alternatively, compressor-assisted cooling extends the operating range for more demanding applications while maintaining excellent temperature stability and energy-efficient operation.
This flexibility allows laboratories to select the configuration best suited to their research requirements without compromising performance.
Practical design for modern laboratories
Every Microbial culture shaking incubator has been designed with everyday laboratory use in mind. The intuitive digital display and membrane keypad remain easy to operate, even while wearing laboratory gloves. In addition, the innovative drop-down door doubles as a convenient support shelf for the pull-out tray, improving accessibility without requiring additional clearance in front of the instrument.
The compact footprint allows the unit to fit comfortably on or beneath standard laboratory benches. Moreover, the stackable design enables multiple incubators to be configured vertically, helping laboratories increase capacity while conserving valuable floor space.
Optional features for specialized applications
The Microbial culture shaking incubator can be equipped with several optional features to support more specialised workflows.
Optional UV sterilization assists with chamber decontamination between experiments by reducing microbial contamination while avoiding direct exposure of samples during cultivation. For laboratories performing photosensitive or light-dependent studies, optional LED illumination provides adjustable light intensity, making the system suitable for algal research, seed germination, seedling cultivation, and selected microbial applications.
In addition, integrated RS232 and RS485 communication interfaces simplify connection to external monitoring and laboratory data systems, supporting efficient laboratory management and documentation.
