Hybridisation, incubator & shaker, SI30H
- Compact design
- Rotisserie and rocker in one unit + Up and over door for accessibility
- Accurate temperature control
- Advanced safety features
- Variable speed control
A very versatile 20 litre hybridisation incubator and combined rocker shaker which only requires a minimum of bench space.
The incubator temperature is accurately set via the easy to use encoder controls and displayed by a bright LED. Forced air circulation combined with microprocessor control means outstanding temperature uniformity.
The 'safety first' design includes an over-temperature protection system that automatically tracks the set temperature and controls the heater in the event of a fault. The smart system displays error codes indicating a fault has occurred or if the set temperature has been interrupted. The incubator also cuts power to the motor if it overheats or stalls.
The incubator has a stainless steel interior, whilst the door is constructed from a double glazed panel of smoked acrylic and polycarbonate to provide radiation protection. The 'up and over1 door mechanism gives excellent access to the incubator.
The SI30H is supplied with a rotissene that accepts 7 x 40mm diameter bottles. It rotates at speeds variable between 2 and lOrpm inside the incubator. It also acts as a bottle stand when removed from the incubator. Accessory rotissenes are available to hold 2 x 75mm diameter glass bottles and for 24 x 50ml centrifuge tubes which are popular for small scale hybridisations.
Conversion of the unit to a rocker shaker is fast and easy Simply remove the rotisserie and pull forward the platform located at the rear of the incubator. The gentle rocking action is ideal for the washing stage of most hybridisation procedures. Rocking speed is fully variable allowing optimisation depending on application.
A range of hybridisation bottles are available made from tough Pyrex' glass and leak proof PTFE faced screwcaps

Incubator with Gyro-Rocker
- Combined incubator and gyro-rocker
- Forced air circulation up to 60°C
- Digital set and display of temperature
- Over-temperature cut-out
- Electronic speed control with soft start
The SI70 is a compact incubator with rocker that provides a gentle 3D gyratory motion, ideal for low foaming agitation, DNA extractions, staining and de-staining gels, etc. The blue non slip mat hold vessels in place.
The tier system means more platforms can be added to increase the working space. A choice of two tier heights is provided with each unit for maximum versatility.
The rocking speed is variable and controlled via an electronic feed-back to accurately maintain set speeds. The rocking action is automatically halted when the door is open for maximum user safety. The angle of the rocking platform can be adjusted between 3° and 12° allowing optimisation of the rocking motion.
Forced air circulation ensures uniform heating of the load. The desired temperature is easily set and accurately monitored via a digital display. For extra protection of samples, the incubator is fitted with an adjustable safety cut-out.
Microtitre Plate Incubator
- Compact Unit
- Ideal for microtitre plates and Petri dishes
- Laminar flow air circulation
- Digital setting and display of temperature
- Convenient upward opening door
- Stainless steel interior
Incubator, for microtitre plates, SI19
Specially designed for use with microtitre plates, which can be difficult to incubate. In conventional incubators, when 4 or more plates are placed on a shelf, they block the air circulation, which can seriously impair temperature distribution.
The Stuart SI19 Incubator overcomes this problem with forced air circulation, which blows preheated air across the shelves rather than just through them. Microtitre plates are also prone to drying out during incubation. The SI19 overcomes this with a water tray to increase the humidity within the chamber.
The bright LED display indicates temperature and the encoder control allows rapid and accurate temperature setting. An integral over-temperature protection system automatically tracks the set temperature and controls the heater in the event of a fault. Error codes are displayed if a fault has occurred or if the set temperature has been interrupted.
Excellent access to the interior is provided by an acrylic up wards opening door. The stainless steel chamber features 4 shelves each accommodating 6 plates (or 12 stacked in 2 layers.) Shelves are captive and slide out for easy loading.

Total Visibility Incubators
- Full visibility of samples
- Easy access to working chamber
- Choice of analogue or digital control
- Many applications
Constructed from clear acrylic polymer to give total visibility of samples at all times. Designed for easy access with hinged front and top panels. Each side panel has 2 x 10mm diameter plugged holes for the introduction of either gases or cables. The incubator does not have a base so that it can be placed directly over complete instruments (base is available as an accessory). Forced air circulation and electronic temperature control ensure accurately maintained conditions.
For analogue model SI60, setting the temperature is via a calibrated knob. For digital model SI60D, setting the temperature is more accurately achieved via the LCD display. The latter also gives a constant reading of actual temperature.
Both models have a push switch pre-set at 37°C. Additionally there is a temperature safety cut-out at 72°C. The incubator is supplied flat packed, for assembly at point of use. Assembly is simple and requires only a screwdriver.
