After you have received your order, inspect the boxes carefully for any damage that may have occurred
during shipping. Report any damage to the carrier and to your local Eppendorf distributor immediately.
2.3 Features
The Excella E-24 Benchtop Incubator Shakers uses a unicentric counter-balanced drive mechanism. It
provides horizontal plane rotary motion in a 1.91
cm (¾ in) diameter circular orbit. A Proportional/Integral
(PI) microprocessor controls the speed and temperature over the entire range.
The E-24 operates from 7 °C above ambient to 60 °C. This range depends on relative humidity and other
ambient factors. Ambient temperature is measured one meter from the front of the unit.
Erlenmeyer flasks, 2.8-liter Fernbach flasks, and a wide variety of tubes and plates can be accommodated
using New Brunswick shaker accessories.
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Excella E-24:
• Universal platforms are the most flexible, providing hole patterns for flask clamps, test tube racks and
other accessories.
• Dedicated platforms are supplied with flask clamps attached; they are designed solely and expressly for
this purpose.
• Test tube racks, microplate holders, and test tube rack holders are also available (a universal platform is
needed for all test tube racks and holders).
For further information on these accessories (see Accessories on p. 35).
