Air Bath Oscillator LABO-A13

Labtron’s Air Bath Oscillator brings versatility to the laboratories with its unique dual-motion system, combining both reciprocating and gyrophonic (orbital) shaking modes. Think of it as having two distinct motion patterns in one machine—each designed to meet a different scientific challenge. The reciprocating motion, which moves samples back and forth in a straight line, is perfect for rigorous mixing tasks, breaking up clumps, or ensuring solid and liquid phases interact thoroughly. On the other hand, the gyrophonic (orbital) motion gently swirls samples in a circular path, reducing the risk of splashing and mechanical stress, which is crucial when working with delicate cell cultures or fragile biological materials.

Yes, as Labtron’s Air Bath Oscillator features an exceptionally flexible timer that allows for countdown settings from 0 to 999 hours and 59 minutes or up to 9999 minutes, in addition to a continuous operation mode. This is a significant advantage for long-duration experiments such as overnight incubations, fermentation, or prolonged mixing protocols. Researchers don’t have to reset the device repeatedly, saving time and ensuring uninterrupted conditions. This extended timing capability also minimizes the need for additional timing equipment.

Contamination control is a major concern in labs, especially when dealing with microbiological cultures or sterile media. Our Air Bath Oscillator offers an optional UV sterilization feature, which helps sanitize the interior chamber between uses. This not only prevents cross-contamination between experiments but also helps maintain aseptic conditions—crucial for studies involving pathogens, cells, or sensitive chemical reactions. UV sterilization adds a layer of biosafety and convenience, eliminating the need for separate disinfection processes or reliance on external sterilizing equipment.

It supports dual power input of 110V 60Hz or 220V 50Hz, making it compatible with electrical standards across most countries. This is a practical advantage for international labs or institutions with global procurement needs. It also makes the device an attractive choice for multinational research facilities, academic collaborations, or contract research organizations that require standardized equipment across different locations.

The temperature control is highly accurate, maintaining a fluctuation of only ±0.5°C within the range of room temperature +5°C to 60°C. This ensures consistent conditions for sensitive biological or chemical processes.
