Benchtop shaking incubator with cooling: Axotron IS-RDD3

The Axotron IS-RDD3 is a compact benchtop shaking incubator with an integrated cooling unit, allowing for cultivations both above and below room temperature. This makes it the right choice for cold-preferring organisms, for expression optimisation at low temperatures (e.g., soluble protein expression in E. coli at 16–18°C), or for cultures that need to be brought to storage temperature directly in the device after the growth phase.

Technical specifications

Shaking surface 450×400 mm, circular orbit Ø 26 mm, speed range 30–400 rpm. The IS-RDD3 is identical in construction to the IS-RSD3 (without cooling) — with an identical shaking surface and identical speed range. List price: €5,300.00.

Distinction from the model without cooling

For cultivations exclusively above room temperature, the more affordable Axotron IS-RSD3 without cooling (promotional price €3,220.00) is the more cost-efficient alternative. Cooling is worthwhile if temperatures below approx. 20°C must be kept stable or if the device is also to serve as a short-term refrigerated incubator.

For which applications is cooling required in a shaking incubator?

Cooling is required if cultivations are to be carried out at temperatures below room temperature — for example, for cold-preferring microorganisms, for protein expression at 16–18°C to improve the solubility of recombinant proteins, or for cultures that are to be cooled down to low temperatures directly in the device after the growth phase.

What is the difference between IS-RDD3 (with cooling) and IS-RSD3 (without cooling)?

Both models share identical shaking technology (450×400 mm surface, Ø 26 mm orbit, 30–400 rpm). The IS-RDD3 additionally features an integrated cooling unit and, at €5,300.00, costs approx. €2,000.00 more than the IS-RSD3 (promotional price €3,220.00).
