The new IS-971 floor model shaker series from Lab Companion, manufactured by Jeio Tech Inc, Woburn, Mass, consists of three models that offer rapid heating and cooling performance.

The IS-971 has a temperature range of 5° C above room temperature to 60° C. The IS-971R and IS-971RF (lighting control capability) have temperature ranges from 4° C to 60° C. The temperature uniformity is ±1.0° C at 38° C (based on various conditions).

The shaking motion includes a choice of orbital or reciprocating action, with a speed range from 10 to 300 cycles a minute and a maximum orbit size of 70 mm diameter. Run time can be programmed from 1 second to 1,000 hours.

Many temperature programs can be entered, including nine steps of temperature profiles programmable and repeatable up to 200 cycles.
