The Thermo Scientific IntelliStack Incubator Shakers combine incubation and agitation in one modular system. Available with 25 mm and 50 mm orbit and as CO₂ version. Stackable up to 3 units for maximum capacity. Suitable for bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cell culture.
The Thermo Scientific IntelliStack Incubator Shakers are developed for bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cell culture where precise temperature and shaking control is required. The modular design allows up to three units to be stacked, mixing CO₂ and non-CO₂ models as needed. This maximises lab space utilisation without compromising performance.
The IntelliStack is available with a 25 mm orbit for standard cell culture applications and a 50 mm orbit for larger vessels requiring higher agitation. CO₂ versions maintain controlled atmospheric conditions directly inside the shaker chamber, eliminating the need for a separate CO₂ incubator for shaking cultures.
All models feature a touchscreen interface for intuitive programming of temperature, speed, and time. Protocols can be stored and recalled for reproducible workflows. The stacking frame ensures stability and safe operation even at maximum configuration.
Key Features
The lowest attainable temperature depends on ambient conditions: cooling is specified to 18 °C below ambient, with a minimum of 4 °C. The operating ambient temperature is 10–35 °C. In a three-unit stack, the middle unit is limited to 250 rpm and the top unit to 220 rpm. The permitted speed also depends on load and platform; follow the operating manual for the installed configuration.
