Technical Data

Introduction about laboratory shaker

A laboratory shaker, encompassing both compact benchtop and high-performance floor-standing units, is engineered for the uniform agitation of samples. Its primary role is to mix, aerate, or suspend contents within laboratory vessels through controlled mechanical movement. This capability is fundamental to establishing consistent experimental conditions, directly impacting the validity of results in microbiology, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical development.

The instrument functions by applying consistent kinetic energy to sample containers. This energy maintains fluid motion, preventing settling and promoting homogeneity. The orbital shaker is the standard configuration. Specialized types include low-temperature shakers and incubator shakers that provide heating/cooling. Digital control technology has enabled precise parameter management, with accurate speed calibration and timer functions that contribute significantly to protocol standardization.

Applications are extensive and critical. Shakers are used for culturing bacterial strains for antibiotic susceptibility testing. They facilitate solvent extraction in natural product research. In clinical chemistry, they mix calibrators and controls thoroughly. Notable features often include a wide speed range to suit various viscosities, a durable platform resistant to chemical corrosion, and safety mechanisms such as a lid switch for enclosed models or an automatic overload shut-off to protect the motor.
