What is a Shaker Incubator (Incubator Shaker)?
In many biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical experiments, the growth and proliferation of cells and microorganisms require a stable and controlled environment. Factors such as temperature, humidity, oxygen levels, and uniform movement of samples directly influence the quality and reliability of experimental results.
This is where an advanced device known as a shaker incubator, or incubator shaker, comes into play. This device is a combination of an incubator—used for controlling temperature and environmental conditions—and a shaker, which provides continuous agitation of samples. For this reason, it is regarded as a key piece of equipment in many microbiology laboratories, cell biology research facilities, and pharmaceutical industries.
What is a Shaker Incubator ?
A shaker incubator is a multi-functional laboratory instrument that not only provides uniform temperature within the chamber but also enables orbital or linear motion of the samples.
This motion ensures uniform distribution of nutrients and gases throughout the culture medium and prevents cell sedimentation or particle settling. For this reason, cell and microbial cultures are carried out in this device with significantly higher efficiency and precision.
The most important features of a shaker incubator include the following:
- Precise temperature control (typically in the range of -5 to +70°C).
- Ability to adjust the speed and range of shaker movement.
- Creating ideal conditions for aerobic and biologically sensitive cultures.
Structure and Components of a Shaking Incubator
A shaking incubator is composed of several key components, each serving a specific function:
1. Insulated compartment
- Made of steel or corrosion-resistant materials.
- Has thermal insulation layers to maintain temperature stability.
- Designed to prevent energy waste and environmental pollution.
2. Shaker system
- Orbital or linear mechanism for continuous shaking of flasks and plates.
- Ability to adjust speed (RPM) depending on the type of test.
- Anti-vibration design to reduce noise and increase accuracy.
3. Digital controller
- LCD or touch screen.
- Multi-step programming capability to adjust temperature, time, and speed.
- Warning system in case of errors or deviations from optimal conditions.
4. Safety and design
- Double-paned glass door for viewing samples without opening the door.
- Ventilation valve to release unwanted vapors and gases.
- Safety systems to prevent sudden fluctuations.
Application of Shaker Incubator
The incubator shaker is a multipurpose piece of equipment used in various scientific and industrial fields:
Microbiology
- Cultivation of aerobic bacteria such as coli.
- Study of the metabolic processes of microorganisms.
Cellular biology
- Culturing eukaryotic cells.
- Vaccine and pharmaceutical research.
Biotechnology
- Production of recombinant proteins.
- Recombinant DNA and gene expression experiments.
Food and pharmaceutical industries
- Investigation of microbial growth in food products.
- Quality control in the pharmaceutical industry.
Types of incubator shakers
Shaker incubators are divided into different types based on application, temperature range, and technical features:
1. Conventional incubator shaker
- Temperature 30 to 70 degrees Celsius.
- Suitable for general laboratory applications.
2. Refrigerated incubator shaker
- Temperature 4 to 40 degrees Celsius.
- Suitable for crops that require temperatures lower than ambient.
3. CO2 shaker incubator
- Equipped with tank and control system
- Ideal for concentration-sensitive cell cultures
4. Advanced incubator shaker
- Ability to control humidity and light.
- Possibility of adjusting the composition of ambient gases (controlled atmosphere).

Yes, in these situations, a flow control system is used in incubator shaker devices to avoid stressing the motor and gearbox. In case of overloading, the sensor cuts off the input current to the motor and the shaker stops. In this way, it prevents the engine from burning and damage to the gearbox.
Yes, the use of CMT technology in shaker incubator devices has made it possible to place the load at any point of the moving plate, the resulting pressure will be spread over the entire surface and the pressure will not be concentrated in one point. Therefore, the shaker will have a uniform and steady movement and you will not witness such problems. Also, not using chains, belts and springs has made the device work smoothly and without extra noise and vibration.
Clamps available in shaker incubators These clamps are usually suitable for sizes 250, 500 and 1000 and can be made in other sizes if the user needs them.
