Orbital Shaker ADOS-507

1. What makes the Orbital Shaker’s rubber mat suitable for long-term use?

This Orbital Shaker features a durable rubber mat that is leakproof and resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and safe operation. This mat securely holds vessels in place during shaking to prevent spills. Its anti-corrosive properties protect against chemical damage, making it ideal for various laboratory applications.

2. What does the IP21 shell guard level mean for the Orbital Shaker?

In this Orbital Shaker IP21 rating indicates that the orbital shaker’s shell guard protects against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and vertical dripping water, providing reliable safety and durability in laboratory environments. This helps prevent damage from accidental spills or light moisture exposure.

3. Does the Orbital Shaker come with interchangeable platforms?

Yes, our Orbital Shaker is equipped with interchangeable platforms, allowing compatibility with various vessels such as culture plates, flasks, and tubes for versatile laboratory use. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt the shaker for different experimental needs and sample volumes.

4. What is the maximum load capacity of the Orbital Shaker with clamps?

This Orbital Shaker supports a maximum load of 3.5 kg when used with clamps, making it suitable for securely holding multiple flasks or vessels during operation. This capacity ensures stable performance even with heavier sample setups.

5. What is the operation and shaking modes of the Orbital Shaker?

This Orbital Shaker operates in continuous mode, allowing for long, uninterrupted mixing sessions. It uses a circular shaking motion, ensuring uniform agitation ideal for cell cultures, suspensions, and general mixing applications.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
