Thermo Fisher Scientific launches new stackable shakers range

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the launch of a new range of stackable shakers, the MaxQ 8000.

"An ideal choice" for laboratories that have minimal space in which to shake large quantities of flasks, according to a statement from the company, the new range offers a built-in HEPA filter to decrease cross-contamination and features to allow easy loading and unloading of samples.

In addition, the MaxQ 8000 simultaneously displays run points and set points for time, speed and temperature, designed for the easy monitoring of run cycles.

Crevice-free type 304 stainless steel has been used to produce the chamber of the shaker, which has coved corners and a built-in drain to retain spills within the work area. Servicing and maintenance is also simplified, Thermo Fisher Scientific continues, by having the HEPA filter and electronics located at the front of the unit, meaning moving the shaker during these times is unnecessary.

People in science sales jobs may also be interested in the company’s new suite of GC/MS software. The Lab Forms 2.5 packages were launched last month.
