Incubator Shaker

An incubator shaker is an essential piece of equipment in a microbiology laboratory, specifically designed to support the growth and study of microorganisms under controlled conditions. It combines the functions of a laboratory incubator and a shaker, allowing samples such as bacterial or fungal cultures to be maintained at a constant temperature while being continuously agitated.In microbiology, maintaining optimal growth conditions is critical for accurate experimentation and culture development. The incubator shaker provides a stable temperature environment—similar to a standard incubator—while the shaking motion ensures proper mixing of nutrients and efficient oxygen transfer within liquid media. This is particularly important for aerobic microorganisms, as oxygen availability directly influences their growth and metabolic activity.
