Advalab supplies Orbital Shaker offering adjustable speed and time settings, for various mixing applications. They offer gentle to vigorous mixing without causing damage to samples. These systems can accommodate multiple flask clamps for securing vessels. Crafted with corrosion-resistant materials, they provide long-lasting performance. Our Orbital Shaker is widely used in research and industrial laboratories to mix various liquid samples.
1. What is an Orbital Shaker?
An Orbital Shaker is a laboratory device that moves samples in a smooth, circular motion to mix liquids gently and evenly, ideal for cell culture, bacterial growth, and solubility experiments. This gentle agitation helps maintain the viability of sensitive biological samples and promotes uniform mixing. It is widely used in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories for consistent and reproducible results.
2. How does an Orbital Shaker work?
The Orbital Shaker uses a motor to rotate the platform in a circular orbit at adjustable speeds, providing consistent agitation without causing turbulence or damage to delicate samples. The circular motion ensures even distribution of nutrients and gases in culture media, improving sample growth and reaction efficiency. Speed and time controls allow for customizable operation tailored to specific experimental needs.
3. What types of containers can be used on an Orbital Shaker?
Orbital Shakers accommodate flasks, test tubes, bottles, petri dishes, and microplates, usually secured with clamps, racks, or platforms to prevent movement during shaking. This versatility makes them suitable for a variety of lab applications, from microbiology to biochemistry. Accessories and platforms can often be swapped or customized to fit unique container sizes and shapes.
