1. Introduction
Stat Fax® 2200 is an economical combination incubator, timer, and shaker that accommodates two standard
microplates or strip trays. This microprocessor controlled instrument offers variable temperatures, times, and
mixing speeds via the keypad. Incubation, timing, and mixing may also be used independently. A pulse mode is
available. Temperatures may be set from room temperature to 40°C with a resolution of 0.1 degree. The
instrument is designed to provide long life and trouble-free performance. A smoke tint acrylic cover protects the
plates, shields them from light, and insulates them during incubation. The enclosed system also reduces the risk
of biohazard from the dispersal of aerosols. Like all of the Stat Fax®instruments, this instrument offers quality
and versatility and is backed with a one year warranty.
