Description
The Labnet VorTemp 56 is a compact benchtop shaking incubator engineered for the simultaneous heating and mixing of small laboratory samples.
By integrating a heating chamber and a microplate/microtube shaker into a single unit, it consolidates laboratory workflows, minimizes processing time, and conserves valuable bench space. It is widely used in molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories for applications like bacterial cultures, assay preparation, and sample incubations.
Key Technical Specifications
The system is managed by intelligent microprocessor controls featuring a built-in self-diagnostic software system that actively monitors temperature and speed stability.
• Capacity: Accommodates up to 56 microtubes (0.25 to 2.0 mL) or up to 4 standard microplates (or 2 deep-well microplates).
• Temperature Range: Offers adjustable heating from Ambient +5°C to 99°C with a temperature accuracy and uniformity of ±0.5°C driven by internal mechanical convection.
• Shaking & Motion: Operates on a 3 mm circular orbit with an adjustable speed range of 200 to 1,200 rpm (reaching up to 1,400 rpm on 120V/60Hz models).
• Acceleration Controls: Includes three programmable acceleration levels to safely ramp up speed without damaging delicate biological samples.
• Timer System: Features a digital timer programmable from 1 to 99 minutes (or continuous operation mode).
• Environmental Versatility: Safe for operation in cold rooms for sub-ambient application environments.
The Labnet VorTemp 56 comes standard with both the microtube and microplate interchangeable platforms. For deeper maintenance details or operating instructions, you can access the Thermo Fisher Scientific VorTemp 56 Manual.
