INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the specifications, operation and use of the Labnet I-5311-DS shaking incuba-
tor and its accessories. Please pay special attention to the
Safety Precautions
section in this
manual.
The I-5311-DS shaking incubator from Labnet International provides an extremely stable tempera-
ture environment, and an aggressive shaking motion for the mixing of materials for cell culture
growth at ambient and above ambient temperatures.
The I-5311-DS shaking incubator uses microprocessor controls and mechanical convection to
maintain a stable temperature environment and to achieve fast chamber temperature recovery
after a door opening. The incubator interior is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resis-
tance and easy clean-up of accidental spills. All incubator doors have an integral glass window and
the incubator has a light to allow observation of samples without opening the door. Each door is
fully thermal gasketed.
The I-5311-DS shaking incubator comes with one removable full shelf and four large, rubber pad-
ded adjustable feet for leveling the unit. Additional half and full shelves may be purchased. The I-
5311-DS shaking mechanism supports a wide range of optional rack and flask platforms which are
user changeable.
