Design and Function

1.1

Design and Construction Features

The CERTOMAT ® Tplus is an easy to operate, efficient
and durable incubator shaking cabinet for universal
use in the various tasks of biological and chemical
laboratories, for example.
The basic equipment of the CERTOMAT ® Tplus
includes one tray support for shaking trays, the drive
unit, and the heater. The drive consists of a motor of
external rotor type with brushless drive and a
noiseless, robust Poly-V belt-drive. Shaking drives
with different orbits are available. The orbit can be
modified by our service on site. The different shaking
speeds can be adjusted continuously. The shaker can
be equipped with trays of different size and numerous
clamps, holders as well as mounting systems of the
CERTOMAT ® - shaker program.
Two large doors facilitate the fixing and removing of
the shaking containers or the changing of the tray
and they allow the visual control. For incubations in
the temperature range near to and below room
temperature a cooling unit can be installed. More
information concerning the equipment configurations
you will find in chapter 12 Technical Data, Ordering
Information. With this information you can specify
the optional equipment of the shaking cabinet
according to your specific demands.
The incubation chamber of the cabinet is made of
stainless steel. At the bottom a spill tray made of
stainless steel is mounted. If containers get damaged
during shaking operation this prevents spilled media
from escaping unchecked. The spill tray can be easily
removed from the incubation chamber and then
cleaned. This design also facilitates the efficient
cleaning of the shaking cabinet.
You can use the shaking cabinet on the floor or on
the table and you can stack 2 – 3 shaking cabinets.
For stacking 2 cabinets a support frame is available.
That means optimal arrangement for operation.

Available Equipment and Accessories

1.2.1 Shaking Drives

The operating terminal and the control system are
included in the panel on the right side of the cabinet.
The shaking drive is mounted below the spill tray inside
the cabinet. The drive is similar to the drive used for
the bench top shaker CERTOMAT ® RM. The drive
specifications are as follows:
• Orbital motion Ø 25 mm and 50 mm
(depending on the version delivered; can be changed to
alternative amplitude on site by authorized service
representatives of Sartorius AG).
•
Shaking speeds: 40 ... 400
• Rotation speed accuracy: max. ± 1% of final value
• The drive has a patented, variable mass compensation.

1.2.2 Trays

Trays can be delivered with sets of fixed clamps for
Erlenmeyer flasks of different sizes (type E, F), or they
are available for individual mounting as universal trays
type EU or FU.
•
Dimensions:
− type E/EU:
W x D about 420 x 420 mm
− tray type F/FU:
W x D about 800 x 420 mm
The universal trays can be equipped with clamps for
Erlenmeyer flasks of different sizes, hinged test tube
racks and universal mounting system. The universal
mountings allow to use various vessels, such as beakers,
bottles, or separation funnels. In addition, non slip mats
and adhesive tape are available.

1.2.3 Illumination Unit

• The Tplus can be ordered with an optional illumination
unit comprising 5 lamps of 18 W each. Each lamp can
be switched off separately. The mounting of the
illumination unit is described in chapter 2.3.2
Illumination Unit (option).

1.2.4 Grid for Petri Dishes

•
For static incubations, e. g. in Petri dishes, a grid for
petri dishes is optionally available. The mounting of the
tray insert is described in chapter 2.3.4 Installation of
the Grid for Petri Dishes (optionally).
