2. General Information
The ES-20 is a compact desktop shaker-incubator used for mixing of biological liquids as well as
incubation and cultivation of biological liquids according to the program set by the operator.
Built-in microprocessor thermocontroller provides constant temperature control in the incubator
chamber. Forced heated air circulation inside the transparent plexiglass chamber guarantees even
temperature distribution. Dismountable construction makes transportation easy.
Orbital shaking is controlled by the digital tachometer (rpm) and digital timer regardless of the
temperature. The unit is equipped with the direct-drive system ensuring most reliable stable long-time
operation (up to 30 24 hour cycles).
The ES-20 is easy to operate. The two-line LCD display shows both set and actual values for
temperature, time and speed.
The device consists of a thermal regulator and control block, shaking block and a plexiglass
chamber.
The following elements are located on the front panel:
-power switch (fig.1/ );
-display (fig.1/ );
-control buttons (fig.1/ ).
The following elements are located on the rear panel:
-shaking block control cable (fig.1/ );
-socket for connecting the power cord (fig.1/ );
