Quality

Reliable technology by Kuhner

The in-house designed magnetic drive system of the LS-Z shaker guarantees accurate control and low energy consumption/heat dissipation even at high speeds. The maintenance-free direct drive is long lasting, robust, and economical. Our Kuhner Kelvin+ incubator has a precise temperature control and comes with a very consistent temperature distribution – for reliable and reproducible cultivation processes.

Flexibility

New modular system

The LS-Z comes with three functional options: benchtop only/stand-alone, combinable with incubators from other manufacturers, or combined with our new Kuhner Kelvin+ for temperature control. The LS-Z shaker will accept loads up to 25 kg and the shaking diameter can be adjusted at any time. There are three standard shaking diameters (12.5, 25 and 50 mm) with others available on request. The LS-Z shaker unit tolerates an ambient relative humidity of up to 90% and features a detachable control unit and power cube. Therefore, the LS-Z is extremely flexible regarding its installation site: it can be placed in any lab incubator or temperature controlled room.

Size

Can be placed almost anywhere

To take up as little work space as possible in your lab, the LS-Z shaker and Kuhner Kelvin+ both have a very small footprint and can thus either be placed under any standard table or lab bench or be used as a benchtop device. The compact Kuhner Kelvin+ has a flat front and space saving door mechanism. The big window provides a good overview of your cultivation vessels even with closed door.

Application

Starter model with great options

LS-Z and Kuhner Kelvin+ are the perfect starter set, e.g. for universities or start-ups with limited space and resources. They can be used for cultivation of microbial, plant, human and animal cell cultures. For cell culture fermentations, which require a humidity and CO2 controlled environment, LS-Z and Kuhner Kelvin+ are combinable with the Flask Aeration System by Kuhner.

Automatisation

Features for automated processes

The LS-Z has a fixed stop position, which is especially useful for automated processes. The integration in a liquid handling system was successfully performed several times already. Due to the flexible Net60 interface, the LS-Z can be controlled by nearly every external software system.

Hygienic Design

Easy Cleaning

The drive is protected from spills and the Kuhner Kelvin+ incubator can be easily dismounted for cleaning the whole surface or removal of any unwanted liquid. The incubator chamber can be cleaned with chemicals or sterilized.

Warranty

Quality guaranteed

As with all Kuhner products, the LS-Z and the Kuhner Kelvin+ are cost effective investments in quality backed with a five year warranty.
