The Orbital Shaker is a lower speed shaker and mixer (25-500 rpm) useful for culturing microbes, washing blots, and general mixing. It can handle multiple flasks and even accommodate two tiers.

A good characteristic of the Orbital Shaker is its lack of vibration and low heat output for this type of laboratory equipment. This allows the researcher to place this shaker inside either standard or cell culture incubators, and effectively convert that incubator into a shaking incubator. This expands the application of the shaker into tissue culture arena.

 


Orbital Shaker

COMMENTARY

Like many laboratories, our space and budget is limited. When we started to expand our molecular biology services, we needed a quick method for increasing our capacity to culture cells, grow E. coli, and generally mix samples that did not require new laboratory equipment and excessive cost. We were delighted to discover that this Orbital Shaker could serve as a mixer and be placed inside one of our current incubators where it effectively transformed the unit into a shaking incubator. The shaker runs relatively cool and does not add significant heat to the incubator, thus we were able to maintain temperature while the orbital shaker was active. We also applied the shaker to culturing fungi at room temperature and found it to be effective in that capacity as well.   This is a heavy duty, well built unit that will survive a beating.
