Biobase BJPX-C100DS – Dual-layer CO₂ shaking incubator for cell culture
The BJPX-C100DS from Biobase is a carbon dioxide shaking incubator designed to meet the strict requirements of laboratory cell culture. It combines the functionality of a CO₂ incubator and an orbital shaker in a single unit, enabling dynamic cultures to be grown in a controlled and homogeneous environment. This integrated design optimises floor space while offering a large load capacity, making it an ideal choice for busy laboratories.
The device features a large colour touchscreen that simultaneously displays the main operating parameters. The clear and easy-to-navigate interface facilitates adjustments and monitoring of experimental conditions. A password lock prevents unauthorised access, and the time programming function allows work cycles to be automated.
The BJPX-C100DS features a precise temperature, humidity and CO₂ control system. Its infrared sensor ensures fine regulation of carbon dioxide, maintaining the concentration at an optimal level with an accuracy of ±0.1%. Rapid recovery after opening the door guarantees continuity of experimental conditions. Humidity is managed in real time, maintaining a constant level between 85% and 95% at 37°C, thus limiting evaporation and dehydration of crops.
The internal design is based on high-quality materials. The chamber, shelves and vibrating table are made of 304 stainless steel, offering increased corrosion resistance and facilitating cleaning and disinfection. Rounded interior corners prevent dirt accumulation and contribute to a sterile environment. Electrochemical surface treatment protects against bacterial growth, extending the life of the equipment.
Mechanically, the orbital shaker operates via a three-axis eccentric drive, ensuring stable and quiet oscillation even at high speeds. Progressive control of plate start and stop reduces the risk of liquid splashing and preserves sample integrity. The speed is adjustable from 40 to 300 rpm, allowing the shaking to be adapted to the specific needs of the cultures.
Safety is a key feature of the BJPX-C100DS design. It has audible and visual alarms for any deviation in temperature, humidity, speed or CO₂ concentration, as well as alerts for prolonged door opening and UV lamp operating status. If safety thresholds are exceeded, an independent system automatically cuts off the heating to prevent any incidents.
The 90°C moist heat sterilisation function effectively eliminates contaminants and maintains a safe environment for cultures. With its ergonomic design, reliable performance and multiple safety features, the BJPX-C100DS is the tool of choice for research laboratories in cell biology, microbiology and biotechnology.
