Horizontal Shaker Incubator

What is a Horizontal Shaker Incubator?

A Horizontal Shaker Incubator is a lab device designed to mix and incubate samples simultaneously using a horizontal shaking motion. Unlike vertical shakers, which move samples up and down, horizontal or orbital/linear shakers move samples in a flat, circular or straight line path. This motion ensures gentle, thorough mixing with minimal disruption.

Shaking Type	Movement Direction	Sample Impact	Typical Use Cases
Horizontal Shaking	Orbital or linear, side-to-side	Even sample distribution, less splash and foam	Cell cultures, microbial growth
Vertical Shaking	Up and down	More agitation, risk of splash/foam	Some sedimentation studies

Benefits of horizontal shaking include:

• Consistent mixing for even oxygen and nutrient distribution.
• Reduced splash and foam, protecting delicate cells and reagents.
• Better reproducibility of experiments due to stable conditions.

Over time, horizontal shaker incubators evolved from simple mechanical units to advanced refrigerated models with smart controls, allowing precise temperature and shaking speed adjustments. These innovations enhance experiment reliability and adapt to diverse lab needs—from microbial cultures to sensitive cell growth.

Applications in Modern Laboratories

Horizontal shaker incubators are vital in many lab settings across the U.S., thanks to their reliable, even shaking and precise temperature control.

• Microbiology: Ideal for bacterial and yeast cultures, these incubators ensure consistent aeration and mixing, which means more reliable growth and less risk of settling or clumping.
• Cell and Tissue Culture: Perfect for stem cell expansion and hybridoma production, providing gentle, uniform shaking that supports delicate cell lines without damage.
• Pharmaceutical Testing: Useful in solubility tests, enzyme assays, and bioavailability studies, where controlled shaking and temperature promote accurate, repeatable results.
• Biotech R&D: Supports fermentation optimization and protein expression by maintaining stable environmental conditions for microbial and mammalian cultures.

A U.S. university recently reported improved reproducibility in ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) testing using Dexiang horizontal shaker incubators, showing faster turnaround times and enhanced data quality.

These applications highlight why labs looking for consistent, versatile incubation rely on horizontal orbital shaker incubators in their workflows.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Best Practices

Getting your Dexiang Horizontal Shaker Incubator up and running smoothly is straightforward when you follow a clear process. Here’s how to set it up, keep it working efficiently, and troubleshoot common issues.

Step-by-Step Setup

• Choose the right location: Place the incubator on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts.
• Power connection: Use a properly grounded outlet that matches the US voltage and frequency standards.
• Calibration: Before first use, run the temperature calibration protocol using a certified thermometer to ensure your incubator hits the ±0.1°C precision.
• Load evenly: When placing flasks or culture vessels, make sure they’re balanced on the platform to avoid shaking imbalance alarms.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean regularly: Wipe the stainless steel chamber with mild detergent and warm water weekly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Filter checks: Inspect and replace air filters every 3–6 months to maintain clean airflow and reduce contamination risks.
• UV sterilization: Use the built-in UV feature as recommended to keep the chamber sterile, especially in long-term microbial or cell culture projects.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Shaking speed changes: Inspect the DC motor and adjust settings if you notice fluctuations. Check for uneven loads that may trigger imbalance alarms.
• Temperature inconsistencies: Verify the PID controller settings and sensor placement. Recalibrate if necessary.
• Noise or vibration: Confirm the incubator is on a level surface. Clear any blocked vents to improve airflow and reduce noise (should stay under 50dB).
