Stuart's
SI500 combined shaker/incubator and the SI505 model for microtitre plates are
now available with IQ/OQ documentation, meeting the requirements of customers
in regulated industries such as the pharmaceutical sector.
Installation
qualification documentation helps users to install their incubator correctly,
in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Issues such as location of
the unit, environmental requirements and initial set-up are covered in the IQ
document, with provision for all stages to be recorded for audit.
Operational
qualification is used to verify and document that the shaking incubator
functions within the defined specifications, for example with regard to shaker
and temperature parameters, and safety features. Step-by-step instructions are
given for each element of the OQ protocol, including the correct use of
temperature sensors and a laser tachometer.
The
compact benchtop Stuart
® SI500 and SI505 shaking incubators
have a unique retractable platform providing easy access to samples, a digital
display showing the independently controlled temperature and speed, and USB connectivity
for long-term monitoring of the incubator temperature via a PC. A
state-of-the-art microprocessor enables accurate, reproducible control of
temperature up to 60ºC, and the versatile integrated
timer can be set from 1 second to 9 days.
Removable
water reservoirs increase the humidity in the chamber of the Stuart
®
SI505, dramatically reducing sample evaporation. With an orbit of just 1.5mm
and high maximum speed of 1,250rpm, the shaking action is optimised for mixing
very small sample volumes in up to four microtitre plates or two racks of 0.2,
0.5 or 1.5ml micro tubes.
The
Stuart
® SI500 incorporates a versatile clamping system for
securing flasks of most sizes, while angle-adjustable stainless steel accessory
tube racks with magnetic locking system provide quick coupling and de-coupling.
