OverviewDesigned for cell culture, fermentation, hybridization, biochemistry and tissue research, the LFZ-SCOI series combines CO2 cryogenic incubation with orbital shaking to support reproducible laboratory workflows.
Features- Integrated CO2 incubator and shaking platform for a compact footprint with high vessel capacity.
- Large color touch screen: unified parameter display, menu navigation, password lock and timer functions.
- Energy-efficient refrigeration with branded compressor and optimized air duct for reduced cooling time and low noise.
- 304 stainless steel inner chamber, shaker table and shelves with electrochemical inner-wall treatment for corrosion resistance and easy disinfection; four-corner and semi-circular interior design for straightforward cleaning.
- Multiple interchangeable cradles and fixtures for Erlenmeyer flasks and other vessels to accelerate setup.
CO2 monitoring and control system- Infrared CO2 sensor: fast, high-accuracy measurement stable under temperature/humidity changes and frequent door openings.
- CO2 inlet with high-efficiency microbial filter (filters up to 99.99% of particles ≥3 μm) to reduce contamination from CO2 supply.
Temperature and humidity control system- High-temperature-rated temperature and humidity sensors for accurate control and rapid recovery after door openings; real-time humidity control (typical chamber 85–95% RH at 37°C).
Door temperature heating and monitoring system- Heated outer glass door to prevent condensation; door temperature tracks slightly above chamber temperature. Opening the door pauses heating, fans and shaker for safety and process stability.
- Independent ambient temperature detector adjusts door heating to prevent overshoot.
Continuous operation guarantee- Low heat-dissipation DC motor with high starting torque and wide speed range; maintenance-free design for prolonged continuous operation.
Drive and shaking system- Three-eccentric-shaft balanced drive ensures uniform rotation across samples, high load capacity and durable operation.
- Oscillation frequency control and accuracy ensure stable shaking for culture processes (40–300 rpm, ±1 rpm where specified).
Air circulation and filtration- Automatic circulating fan speed control reduces airflow at steady temperature to minimize sample evaporation and provide gentle circulation for cell growth.
- HEPA intake filter for outside air to maintain internal cleanliness; filter is removable for service and quick recovery to clean level after door closure.
Sterilization system- 90°C high-temperature humid heat sterilization for the entire inner chamber including sensors, CO2 sensor, fans, partitions and brackets; typical full-cycle program ~18 hours.
Hierarchical authority management (optional)- Multi-user accounts with up to three levels (administrator, operator, visitor); touch screen supports dual-language input and logs operations for audit and maintenance.
Security functions- Independent temperature limit alarm with visual and audible alerts; alarms for low/high/over-temperature, abnormal speed or CO2 concentration, prolonged door opening and sterilization reminders.
- Dedicated speed-control circuit ensures smooth shaker start to avoid liquid splashing; independent temperature limit can cut off heating when exceeded.
Data logging, diagnostics and optional alarms- Optional data recording and fault diagnosis with RS485/232 interface for download and storage.
- Optional wireless SMS alarm system to notify designated recipients of faults when off-site; optional embedded printer available.
