Product Description
MRC LOM-65, LOM-80, LOM-150, and LOM-150D Orbital Shaker Incubators
are 0–70°C class, front-door, orbital shaker incubators engineered for reproducible microbial growth, protein expression, and general incubation with integrated shaking. A stainless-steel SUS304 chamber, large viewing window with internal light and movable blind, and a touch-screen controller combine ease of use with durable construction. LOM-80/150/150D deliver cold-capable performance down to 0°C (ideal for E. coli/yeast workflows), while the compact LOM-65 lacks cooling and operates from ambient + 4°C to 70°C. A 25 mm (1") orbital motion, robust safety protections, and flexible flask capacities (up to 6 L; dual-deck on LOM-150D) help scale from starter cultures to higher-throughput production. These units provide tight temperature constancy (±0.1°C) and uniformity (±1°C at 37°C) for consistent results with minimal maintenance.
Applications

Food, Beverage & Industrial QC
- Routine microbial QC with stable temperature and low-vibration orbital motion

Features
- Cold-capable performance (model-dependent): 0–70°C on LOM-80/150/150D; ambient + 4°C to 70°C on LOM-65 — expand protocols without a second unit.
- Consistent results: temperature constancy ±0.1°C and uniformity ±1°C at 37°C support repeatable growth and expression studies.
- High visibility, front-door access: large viewing window, internal chamber light, and movable blind help monitor cultures without disrupting conditions.
- Scalable capacity: accepts flasks up to 6 L; LOM-150D provides two independently loaded platforms for higher parallel throughput.
- Durable, lab-ready design: SUS304 stainless chamber; low noise/low vibration shaking; orbital 25 mm for broad method compatibility.
- Touch-screen control: intuitive interface with programmable shaking speed ranges (model-dependent) and compressor restart delay after power loss.
- Safety protections: overheat/low-temp protection, short-circuit breaker, refrigerator overload protection, and sensor-abnormality detection.

Documentation
FAQs
Q1: What’s the key difference between LOM-150 and LOM-150D?
A: The LOM-150D includes two independently loaded shaking platforms (dual-deck) for higher parallel throughput. The LOM-150 uses a single platform with higher per-platform capacity for large flasks.
Q2: Can these shakers run at low temperatures (e.g., 4 °C)?
A: Yes. LOM-80/150/150D operate from 0–70°C and can maintain 4°C setpoints. LOM-65 runs from ambient + 4°C to 70°C. Always allow time for stabilization before critical steps.
Q3: How accurate and uniform is the temperature control?
A: The series provides ±0.1°C constancy and ±1°C uniformity at 37°C, supporting consistent growth and expression experiments.
Q4: What safety protections are built in?
A: Overheat and low-temperature protection, a short-circuit breaker, refrigerator overload protection, and sensor-abnormality detection enhance operator and sample safety.
Q5: Which model should I choose for 3–6 L flasks?
A: For frequent use of 3–6 L vessels, choose LOM-150 (single deck, higher per-platform capacity). For multiple smaller flasks in parallel, LOM-150D’s dual decks maximize throughput.
Q6: Are clamp layouts configurable?
A: Yes. Platform real estate supports various clamp combinations. See capacities above and contact us for confirmation of your exact vessel mix.
