A laboratory shaker is an automated instrument, available as a benchtop or floor-standing model, dedicated to agitating samples. Its primary function is to create homogeneous mixtures by subjecting containers to continuous motion. This action ensures even distribution of solutes, gases, and cells, which is fundamental to the success of countless laboratory protocols in biotechnology, pharmaceutical science, and clinical diagnostics.

The core concept is the mechanization of mixing to ensure consistency. Different motion patterns serve different ends: orbital motion is ideal for general mixing and culture aeration; linear motion may be used for washing blots; rocking is suited for very gentle agitation. Advanced incubator shakers provide a fully controlled environment, regulating temperature, and sometimes CO2 and humidity, in tandem with shaking—a must for sensitive biological incubations.

Applications are extensive. Shakers are used for culturing microorganisms in nutrient broths, for mixing components in PCR master mixes, and for facilitating chemical reactions during synthesis. Salient modern features include bright digital displays for clear visibility, audio-visual end-of-run indicators, and robust construction using materials that resist corrosion from common laboratory spills. Their adaptability and reliability make them indispensable in labs where reproducible sample processing is paramount.
