Procurement of Insect Cell Shaker

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases requires the acquisition of insect cell shakers for the Laboratory of Molecular Biology. These systems are used to support insect cell culture processes for biomolecular research and protein production activities. The required features of this purchase include: • Accommodating up to six 3-liter flasks or three 5-liter flasks • Providing a shaking throw of 50 millimeters and a speed range of 20 to 350 revolutions per minute • Providing a temperature range of 4 degrees Celsius to 65 degrees Celsius • Including cooling capability to achieve temperatures at least 16 degrees Celsius below ambient conditions • Including an N-style tray with a non-slip surface to support flask stability without the use of clamps • Having a maximum footprint of 800 x 625 x 700 millimeters • Being floor-standing • Utilizing a magnetic drive system with a brushless three-phase motor to minimize vibration and wear • Including a front-opening design with a pull-out tray to allow for loading and unloading of flasks
