Versatile, high performance laboratory shakers and shaking incubators

The MaxQ range of high performance laboratory shakers from Radleys set new standards for shaking and incubating samples.

Available from compact benchtop to large capacity floor standing models, with options for incubation, refrigeration and water bath temperature control, MaxQ shakers combine unmatched durability with versatility and control. Engineered for 24-hour operation and heavy workloads, all MaxQ shakers feature a triple eccentric drive and a market-leading warranty - 5 years on parts and a lifetime guarantee on the shaker mechanism. The speed range for all analogue models is 40 - 400 rpm and 15 to 500 rpm on digital models.

The MaxQ's stainless steel shaker platforms will accommodate deep well plates, flasks, beakers, centrifuge tubes, test tube racks and gel trays enabling the widest range of applications including solubility studies, cell culturing, washing and extraction procedures, hybridisations, diagnostic tests and general mixing to be readily performed. The largest floor standing MaxQ shakers can take loads up to 34 Kg.

MaxQ shakers are also available in incubated and refrigerated formats operating across the temperature range -15C to +60C. Operating temperature is controlled to +/- 0.1C by a PID controller ensuring accurate, reproducible conditions for all experiments.

The user-friendly control panel on all MaxQ models is simple to operate saving time and minimising user errors. A range of features including unbalanced load sensors, over temperature monitoring and interlocks to stop platform motion when the lid is open on incubated/refrigerated models also provided added user safety.
