VWR model 5000 Advanced Orbital Shaker features
Safety features include a built-in load sensor that detects unbalanced conditions and automatically reduces rpm or stops the unit to protect samples. Overload protection delivers audible and visual signals when the system detects an obstruction or tray overload. A ramping feature slowly increases speed to the desired setpoint to avoid splashing, and the spill-resistant design channels fluids away from internal components.
In timed mode an audible alarm will sound when the timer reaches zero. Model 5000 shakers can operate in cold rooms, incubators, and CO₂ environments from -10 to 60 °C (14 to 140 °F). An RS232 serial port provides two-way communication for data logging and unit control.
VWR model 5000 Advanced Orbital Shakers can accommodate a variety of stainless-steel platform options. Stainless-steel tier braces allow stacking of same sized platforms and provide a 25.4 cm (10") clearance between platforms.
Universal platforms are suitable for mounting flask clamps and test tube racks. The adjustable platform attachment is equipped with four cushioned rollers to securely hold glassware. Culture platform with mat is ideal for slow speed applications that utilize low profile vessels such as Petri dishes or culture flasks.
The system continuously monitors shaking speed and maintains setpoint even under changing loads. The variable speed microprocessor control provides consistent, uniform mixing action. Microprocessor will display last setpoint and restart if power is interrupted. The powerful triple eccentric drive and maintenance-free, brushless DC motor offer reliable service in continuous duty.
VWR model 5000 Advanced Orbital Shakers feature touchpad controls with large, independent LEDs for speed and time, allowing operators to view all settings at once. The timer will display elapsed time or, when programmed to a defined limit, will shut off the unit. A speed calibration mode allows users to automatically recalibrate the speed display.
