Applications

Biotech & Bioprocessing

• Starter cultures and expression screening for E. coli/yeast at controlled low temperatures
• Plasmid prep, protein expression, and pilot-scale optimization

Microbiology & Molecular Biology

• General incubation with orbital agitation for growth curves and transformation recovery
• Temperature-sensitive studies with ±0.1 °C constancy

Academic & Core Facilities

• Teaching labs, shared resources, and multi-user environments needing clear visibility and safety
• Broad protocol coverage: 0–70 °C (model-dependent) and 25 mm orbit

Food, Beverage & Industrial QC

• Routine microbial QC with stable temperature and low-vibration orbital motion
• Throughput boost via dual-deck (LOM-150D) for parallel runs

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.

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.
