EziLab offers the Bench-Top Shaker Incubator EZL-BS81, an 18 L mini shaking incubator that grows small culture batches at a set temperature while an orbital tray keeps them aerated. The brushless DC motor turns a 295 by 253 mm tray from 20 to 300 rpm with ±1 rpm hold, heating spans RT+5 to 60 °C with ±0.1 °C control and ±1 °C uniformity, and the timer runs 1 to 9999 minutes or continuously. Nine 100 mL flask clamps come fitted, data memory recalls the last program, and the ABS housing measures only 440 mm wide, so the unit sits on a shelf or inside a fume hood. University research labs, biotech start-ups, clinical microbiology units, teaching laboratories, food fermentation groups and pharmaceutical pilot teams use this bench-top shaker incubator where a full-size cabinet would be wasted on a few flasks. Typical runs include E. coli protein expression, enzyme screening, bacterial and yeast starter cultures, plasmid amplification, antibiotic sensitivity broths and small-scale fermentation trials. Choose it over the 69 L sibling when nine flasks or fewer are the daily load. A shelf is only safe if it is rated for the shaker plus its flasks at full speed; ask for the shipping weight and test the surface for walking at 300 rpm. Related incubators sit in Laboratory Incubator, with Bench-Top Shaker Incubator pages for the shaking models.
