The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 6000 Incubator Shakers are stackable floor units for incubation and shaking. They offer high capacity and reliable temperature control. Two units can be stacked to double throughput. Available with and without active refrigeration.
The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 6000 Incubator Shakers combine orbital agitation with precise temperature control in a stackable floor-standing design. Two units can be stacked using the optional stacking frame, effectively doubling capacity within the same floor footprint. The units are suitable for high-volume cell culture applications in research and production environments.
The MaxQ 6000 features a heavy-duty orbital drive with a 19 mm orbit and speeds up to 400 rpm. The large stainless steel chamber accommodates substantial shaking platforms and a wide range of vessels. Digital control with simultaneous parameter display provides full visibility of speed, temperature, and time at a glance.
The incubated version maintains temperatures above ambient for standard aerobic culture. The refrigerated version adds active cooling for temperature-sensitive applications. Both versions maintain precise temperature uniformity throughout the chamber.
