Limited use with parallel cultivation of vibration-sensitive adherent cells like stem cells or primary cells due to transfer of vibrations.Some devices are limited to 200 rpm and may therefore not be suitable for protocols with higher rpm of plates and tubes.Platform capacity and drive design limited to shake a few 1L flasks (low throughput applications).Corrosion-resistant exterior made of stainless steel or specialized plastics like Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) that can also be disinfected.Sealed electronics and mechanical parts to avoid malfunctions, corrosion, and contamination inside.Low heat dissipation to avoid interference with the temperature control of the CO 2 incubator.Therefore, in contrast to standard open-air shakers, a CO 2 resistant shaker comes with design specialized for the use inside a CO 2 incubator.įeatures and limitations of a typical CO 2 resistant shaker: In addition, this humid atmosphere can lead to electronic malfunctions and spills of culture medium entering the device may form a contamination nucleus that is hard to detect and remove.

However, together with the high relative humidity (usually ~95%) CO 2-resistant shakers face a slightly acidic atmosphere that is highly corrosive. The elevated CO 2-concentration itself inside the incubator chamber is not the main challenge. The term “CO 2-resistant shaker” itself that is often used, also by manufacturers, is clearly misleading as it doesn´t address the main challenge these devices are facing and overcoming inside a CO 2 incubator. For higher throughput, CO 2 incubators with an integrated shaker are used. These cultures are, for example used for the expression of recombinant proteins or the production of bioreactor starter-cultures (inoculum).
