The Benchmark Scientific Incu-Shaker 10LR (H2012) is a heavy-duty refrigerated shaking incubator for continuous-duty cell culture, microbiology, and molecular biology work. It combines orbital shaking (30–300 rpm) with precise temperature control from 12°C below ambient up to 60°C, so temperature-sensitive cultures stay on protocol without moving them to a separate refrigerator or incubator. The large 18 × 18 in. platform holds up to five 2 L flasks, and the patented MAGic Clamp system lets you swap flask clamps in seconds without tools.
Refrigeration built in, not bolted on. The integrated compressor cools to 12°C below ambient temperature, so low-temperature protocols (15°C, 20°C, 25°C) run accurately even in a warm lab — no cold room required.
Uniformity you can trust in the corners. Proprietary heat-distribution technology holds the set temperature within 0.25% throughout the chamber, eliminating the stratification and cold spots that ruin replicate consistency.
Built for continuous use. A brushless induction drive and computer-designed motor isolation system keep vibration and noise low under heavy loads, day after day. It's designed to run 24/7 with minimal maintenance.
Change vessels in seconds. The patented MAGic Clamp magnetic attachment system lets you instantly swap between flask clamps of different sizes — no screws, bolts, or tools. A standard non-slip rubber mat platform is included for tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, and staining trays.
Step programming. An advanced mode lets you program timed changes to temperature, speed, and run time — useful for multi-stage culture protocols.
The Incu-Shaker 10LR is a single model with two voltage configurations:

It is a refrigerated shaking incubator for growing liquid cultures — bacterial, yeast, or cell cultures — with simultaneous orbital shaking and precise temperature control. Common uses include microbiology, molecular biology, and food/beverage QA/QC enrichment cultures.
The 10LR is the refrigerated version: it cools to 12°C below ambient (down to roughly 8–13°C in a normal lab) and heats to 60°C. The standard 10L heats only, from 5°C above ambient to 60°C. Choose the 10LR if any of your protocols run below room temperature.
It holds 12°C below the ambient room temperature, up to a maximum of 60°C. In a typical 20–25°C lab, expect a usable range of about 8°C to 60°C.
Canadian labs use 115V/60Hz, which corresponds to Benchmark SKU H2012. Confirm the 115V configuration with Cambridge when you order.
The included rubber mat platform suits flat vessels (tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, trays). For Erlenmeyer flasks or tube racks, add the optional MAGic Clamp platform — its patented magnetic base lets you swap clamp sizes in seconds without tools. Ask Cambridge for the correct clamp sizes for your flasks.
Tell us your application (cell culture, microbiology, QA/QC), your temperature range, and your flask sizes — we'll confirm whether the 10LR or the standard 10L fits, and quote the right MAGic Clamp accessories.
