Why the Refrigerated 20L
The H3022 represents the top of the Incu-Shaker family — combining production-scale 20 L chamber with refrigeration for the most demanding workflows:
- Production-scale RNA-prep at sub-ambient temperatures (preserve RNA integrity during shaker steps)
- Pharmaceutical / biotech research at high-stakes temperature-sensitive workflows
- Multi-investigator shared facility with both temperature-sensitive AND production-scale demands
- Cold-room workflow consolidation at production scale — bring full 20 L cold-cycle to the bench
Pick the H3022 Refrigerated 20LR when:
- Production-scale + sub-ambient temperature workflow combined
- 20 L chamber capacity required for sample-vessel format
- Heat-sensitive workflows at higher throughput than 10L H2012 supports
Step down to H2012 Refrigerated 10L ($10,916) for mid-throughput refrigerated workflows — saves $1,502 at 10 L chamber.
Stay with H3020 non-refrigerated 20L ($10,095) for production-scale at ambient-and-above — saves $2,323 when sub-ambient capability isn't required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the H3022 different from the H3020? The H3022 adds integrated refrigeration for sub-ambient incubation at the 20 L scale — a $2,323 step-up over the non-refrigerated H3020 ($10,095).
What chamber size is the H3022? 20 L — the largest refrigerated incubator-shaker in the Incu-Shaker family.
What voltage does the H3022 use? 115 V or 230 V at 50–60 Hz (discrete variants); the 230 V variant is by special order at the same price.
When should I choose the H3022 over the H2012 10LR? When workflows need both production-scale 20 L capacity and sub-ambient temperature; the 10 L H2012 ($10,916) covers mid-throughput refrigerated workflows and saves $1,502.
What is included with the H3022? A non-slip rubber mat is included.
