Platelet incubator with integrated platelet‑agitation mechanism, designed to provide an optimal storage environment for platelets after collection, suitable for blood banks, transfusion services, hospitals, blood‑transfusion centres and biomedical‑research applications. The unit combines a temperature‑controlled chamber with an internal platelet shaker, providing 22 °C ±1 °C conditions and continuous, gentle motion of blood bags, the key condition for maintaining platelet functional viability throughout the shelf‑life period in line with modern transfusion‑guideline requirements.
Internal temperature is maintained at 22 °C ±1 °C by semiconductor‑based temperature control with a PID‑algorithm regulator, which delivers high‑precision stabilization while reducing energy consumption by about 30 % compared with traditional compressor‑based systems. The chamber uses a 60 mm‑thick insulation‑foam layer; in a power‑failure situation at 25 °C ambient and empty load, the centre‑chamber warm‑up time from 22 °C to 24 °C exceeds 4 hours, giving a substantial safety margin for cold‑chain protection. The agitation unit incorporates an alarm and calibration device that monitors the oscillating motor and ensures uniform shaking pattern across all bags throughout the storage cycle.
The shaking‑drive uses a semiconductor‑type drive and EBM oscillating motor, operating with low noise and vibration levels, making the incubator suitable for transfusion‑department and blood‑bank areas adjacent to clinical wards and sensitive equipment. The unit includes an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection function that helps maintain a more sterile internal environment, reduces chamber‑surface bioburden and supports routine hygiene between different platelet‑storage batches. The system offers multiple alarms: high/low temperature, power‑failure, sensor‑failure, micro‑ajar‑door, low‑battery, oscillating‑motor‑fault and remote‑alarm contact, together with data‑logging (), supporting central‑monitoring, procedure‑audit trails and traceability of events tied to platelet‑storage conditions.

Aplicações
This platelet incubator with agitator is suitable for blood banks, transfusion‑medicine services, hospitals, transfusion‑network hubs and research laboratories that store platelets under continuous shaking within the 20 °C to 24 °C range, as required by platelet‑storage best‑practice guidelines. The combination of precise 22 °C ±1 °C control, integrated shaking, enhanced thermal insulation, low‑noise operation and multiple alarms makes the unit appropriate for high‑throughput platelet‑storage routines, minimisation of functional platelet‑damage risks and electronic‑event‑traceability, matching quality‑assurance and audit‑readiness expectations.
The HXZ‑149 and HXZ‑1369 configurations allow scaling from small‑scale blood‑bank operations to large‑volume transfusion‑centres, while the UV‑disinfection function and remote
