The VWR

symphony™ Incubating/Refrigerating 5000IR Orbital Shakers are designed for a
variety of shaking and incubating applications such as cell cultures.
Operating features:
Accu-Drive Shaking System:
The exclusive patented Accu-Drive Shaking System delivers
exceptional speed control, accuracy, and durability. The system continuously monitors shaking
speed and maintains set-point, even under changing loads. When unit is set to a speed above
100rpm, the speed accuracy is ± 1% of set speed. When set under 100rpm, speed accuracy
is ± 1rpm.
Opti-Flow Forced Ventilation System:
This patented system uses a powerful fan and air
deflectors to deliver exceptional temperature uniformity and stability.
Microprocessor control:
The variable speed microprocessor control provides consistent
uniform shaking action. Microprocessor will display last set-point and will restart if power is
interrupted.
PID temperature controller:
Maintains precise temperature control from 15°C below ambient
to 65°C. Easy-to-use controls allow user to adjust temperature in 1°C increments.
Triple eccentric drive:
Permanently lubricated bearings and maintenance free, brushless DC
motor provide reliable service and continuous duty operation.
LED display:
Touch pad controls with easy-to-read, independent LED displays for temperature,
speed, and time allow operator to view all settings at once. Provides repeatable and accurate
results every time and is easily visible across lab benches. The timer will display elapsed time
or, when programmed to user defined limit, will shut off unit when time reaches zero. Display
will show last settings, even after power has been turned off.
Temperature calibration mode:
Allows user to calibrate unit to an external temperature device.
Speed calibration mode:
Allows user to automatically recalibrate speed display.
RS-232 Interface:
Provides two-way communication for data logging and unit control.
Safety features:
Load sensor:
A built-in load sensor detects unbalanced conditions and automatically reduces
rpm to a safe speed, or stops unit, to protect samples.
Overload protection:
Audible and visual signals will activate when system detects an
obstruction or overload of the tray.
Over temperature sensor:
Unit will shut down and activate audible and visual alarms if
temperature deviates ± 1°C from set-point.
Speed ramping feature:
Slowly increases speed to desired set-point to avoid splashing.
Audible alarm:
In timed mode, alarm will sound when the timer reaches zero. Alarm has
optional mute function which can be set from the touch pad controls.
Polycarbonate lid:
Permits viewing of samples without disturbing internal temperature. When
lid is opened, automatic shut off of the circuit will stop the shaker tray to protect operator.
Spill resistant design:
Channels fluids away from internal components.
Caution hot indicator:
Symbol illuminates when the temperature of the air in the chamber
reaches 40°C and remains lit until temperature cools down.
Operating Conditions:
Units can be run in cold rooms, incubators, and CO
2
environments from
15 to 32°C (59 to 90°F), maximum 80% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Applications:
Cell cultures, solubility studies, bacterial suspensions, and extraction procedures.
