    The Excella E-24/24R Benchtop Incubator Shakers use a UniCentric™ counter-balanced drive mechanism. They provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a ¾-inch (1.9 cm) diameter circular orbit. A Proportional/Integral (PI) microprocessor controls the speed and temperature over the entire range. The incubated and refrigerated E-24R operates from 15ºC below ambient (with a minimum setpoint of 4ºC) to 60°C, and the incubated E-24 from 7ºC above ambient to 60ºC.
