Description

This listing is for a Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 Orbital shaker incubator

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.


The Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 is an orbital shaker incubator — a piece of lab equipment that combines controlled shaking and temperature control in one unit. It’s designed for biological and biochemical workflows where maintaining both a constant temperature and agitation are important, such as:

  • Cell culture (bacteria, yeast, insect or mammalian cells)
  • Fermentation
  • Protein expression
  • Hybridization and DNA work
  • Solubility studies and other mixing tasks


How It Works

  • Orbital shaking: The platform inside moves in a circular (orbital) motion to mix or agitate samples evenly.
  • Temperature control: It incubates samples at controlled temperatures — typically from above ambient up to ~60 °C, and in refrigerated models also below ambient — so you can grow cultures or perform temperature-sensitive reactions.
  • Stackability: Units can be stacked 2–3 high to multiply capacity without using more floor space.


Key Features

  • Temperature range: Ambient +10 °C to ~60 °C (or lower if refrigerated version)
  • Speed range: ~25–400 rpm for shaking with accurate control
  • HEPA-filtered chamber: Promotes clean air and reduces cross-contamination risk inside the incubator for better culture conditions.
  • Slide-out platform: Makes loading and adjusting flasks easy.
  • Microprocessor controls: Digital display and alarms for monitoring temperature, speed, and time.

Typical Applications

  • Growing microbial or cell cultures
  • Protein expression studies
  • Hybridization reactions
  • Solubility assays
  • General mixing where precise temperature control is needed alongside agitation.
