The KM CO2 is an orbital shaker from Edmund Buhler built to run inside a CO2 incubator. It is made for cell culture labs that need to agitate samples in a controlled CO2 and humidity atmosphere. The unit is operated from an external control unit with an LED display, connected by a 200 cm cable, so speed can be set without opening the incubator door. Its 200 x 295 mm platform holds a 2 kg load and covers a speed range of 5 to 220 rpm in steps of 5. The belt-free direct drive gives a softer start for sensitive cell cultures and removes belt wear from the maintenance picture. Its stainless steel construction withstands the humid, corrosive environment inside a CO2 incubator. The KM CO2 suits routine resuspension and mixing of small-volume samples in cell culture work.

Edmund Buhler KM CO2 Orbital Shaker for CO2 Incubators

An orbital shaker built to run inside a CO2 incubator

The Edmund Buhler KM CO2 is a compact orbital shaker designed to be installed permanently inside a CO2 incubator. It agitates cell cultures in a regulated CO2 and humidity atmosphere without moving samples out of the incubator.

The unit is operated from an external control unit with an LED display, connected by a 200 cm cable, so the operator can set speed without opening the incubator door.

Belt-free direct drive

The KM CO2 uses a direct drive with no drive belt. This gives a soft start that is gentler on sensitive cell cultures, and it removes belt wear and periodic belt replacement from the maintenance picture.

Stainless steel construction protects the unit from the humidity and corrosive atmosphere inside a CO2 incubator.

Platform and load capacity

The 200 x 295 mm platform holds a maximum load of 2 kg and runs from 5 to 220 rpm in steps of 5, with a 20 mm stroke.

9 Erlenmeyer flasks of 100 ml, or 2 flasks of 500 ml
Runtime from 1 second to 100 hours, or continuous
CO2 tolerance up to 20 percent, humidity 20-95 percent non-condensing

Cabling and power supply

The KM CO2 is supplied with a standard 200 cm connection cable between the platform and the external control unit. This cable requires a feedthrough drilled into the incubator wall.

The universal 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz power supply covers most European electrical networks.

Ideal Applications

The Edmund Buhler KM CO2 suits the following applications.

Cell culture in a controlled CO2 atmosphere
Resuspension of small-volume samples
Routine mixing inside a CO2 incubator
Cell biology and biotechnology laboratories
Applications where the shaker must be set without opening the incubator

Choose the KM CO2 when:

You need to shake samples inside a CO2 incubator
You want a belt-free orbital shaker with lower maintenance
Your cell cultures are sensitive to abrupt starts
Drilling a feedthrough in the incubator wall is not a constraint
You need external control with an LED display

Buhler Value Proposition

The KM CO2 combines a belt-free drive, convenient external control, and stainless steel construction suited to the humid environment of a CO2 incubator.

Edmund Buhler has manufactured laboratory shakers in Germany since 1880 and remains a family-owned company.
