Kuhner LS-Z/Kelvin+ shaking incubator

Click2Contact

Kuhner, a company with decades of experience in shaking technologies, has introduced the LS-Z/Kelvin⁺ combination. The LS-Z is a sturdy benchtop shaker designed for continuous and maintenance-free operation. The Kuhner Kelvin⁺ is a compact-sized incubator with an optimal temperature distribution. Together, they form a modular system for maximum flexibility and economical culturing.

The magnetic drive of the LS-Z is designed to ensure precise shaking speed and a long and failure-free working life. Additionally, the drive system allows the setting of three different shake diameters: 12.5, 25 and 50 mm. The Kuhner Kelvin⁺ incubator features a stainless steel chamber which can be added to the LS-Z shaker platform for precise temperature control and consistent temperature distribution, facilitating reproducible cultivation processes.

The system allows three different configurations: the LS-Z alone can be used as a benchtop shaker in the lab or in a temperature/humidity controlled room (even up to 90% RH) due to detachable electronics; the LS-Z can be installed in other manufacturers’ incubators, with or without CO₂/humidity control, to convert them to a shaking incubator; and the Kelvin⁺ can be added to the LS-Z to create a fully capable culturing environment, with the addition of Kuhner FlowCon allowing CO₂, oxygen and humidity control.

The Kuhner TOM (transfer-rate online measurement) system can be optionally added for the online measurement of OTR, CTR and RQ in up to 16 individual shake flasks for precise process analysis. The TOM is easily installed and has no footprint on the shaker tray as it is mounted above.
