Hybridisation shaking incubators

The CSL-NHYBRID incubators are a cost-effective system for homogeneous temperature control during routine incubations. Advanced ventilation design technology controlled by a digital microprocessor maintains temperature uniformity and stability to within 0.2°C. A stain resistant interior protects against spillages, while removable stainless steel mesh-shelves ensure that airflow remains unrestricted. Incubations may be set in precise 0.1°C increments under a continuous or programmable timer function.

A large 3.6″ colour-touchscreen control panel simplifies manipulation of speed, temperature and time within an easy to programme 3-line display, while a 32-bit microprocessor provides the temperature uniformity and stability necessary to support the most temperature-sensitive applications. With a robust metal chassis and fully stain-resistant interior, the HybridPRO range is designed to withstand the stresses of frequent daily usage.

The CSL-NHYBRIBVX has the same features as the CSL-NHYBRIDBASIC, but also includes a vortex platform for four microplates. The vortex platform is 20 x 30cm in size, and microprocessor-controlled to vibrate at speeds ranging from 50-1500 rpm.

The CSL-NHYBRIDROC includes a 27x20cm rocking platform to provide the perfect motion and tilt angle to prevent gels and membranes from drying out during staining, blocking and antibody incubations. Interchangeable hybridisation rotisseries may be exchanged for the rocking platform to allow the CSL-NHYBRIDROC to be customised for the full range of nucleic acid hybridisation applications, including Northern and Southern blotting techniques.

The CSL-NHYBRIDORB includes as standard a bi-directional 27 x 20cm orbital shaking platform that performs both clockwise and anticlockwise motion. Optional flask holders may be fitted to the orbital shaking platform to accommodate up to five 250ml or four 500ml flat-bottomed flasks, making the CSL-NHYBRIDORB a suitable bench top shaker for growing overnight cultures of bacteria, yeast and insect cells. The shaking-platform can be replaced by one of three hybridisation rotisseries ( purchased separately).

The CSL-NHYBRIDREC is a 27 x20cm reciprocal shaking-platform incubator that may be adapted to accommodate 250ml or 500ml flat-bottomed flasks. The shaking-platform has a reciprocal motion that is perfect for incubation of Western blots and microbial cultures, and may be replaced by one of three optional hybridisation rotisseries. An optional platform with four 10cm pillars mounts comfortably on the shaking platform to double capacity if required.
