Cooling capacity loss
Long continuous runs expose refrigeration capacity problems first.
Temperature-controlled agitation
Refrigerated shaker service
Continuous mechanical motion combined with active cooling — a duty cycle that finds weaknesses.
Why us for this
Specialised, not general
Shakers run for long unattended periods, which is exactly why a drift or a developing drive fault can go unnoticed until a culture run is lost.
Brands serviced
Thermo Fisher Scientific and comparable refrigerated shaker platforms.
Common faults
What usually goes wrong
Most of these are progressive. Caught early they are maintenance items; caught late they are emergencies.
Orbit or speed instability
Inconsistent agitation produces inconsistent results, quietly.
Drive mechanism wear
Bearings and drive components are consumables under continuous duty.
Temperature control drift
Set point and actual diverging over a long run is a common and correctable fault.
Excess noise or vibration
Almost always mechanical, and almost always progressive.
Service scope
What a visit covers
- Refrigeration and cooling capacity service
- Drive mechanism and bearing inspection
- Orbit and speed verification
- Temperature control calibration
- Platform and clamp condition check
Included with plans
Put this on a schedule
Reactive service means every fault arrives as an emergency. A preventive maintenance plan turns most of them into a line item on a calendar instead.

Questions
About refrigerated shakers
That pattern usually points to refrigeration capacity rather than control. It is diagnosable and generally repairable.
