Shakers

Understanding Laboratory Shakers

Shakers are versatile instruments utilised for the agitation and mixing of liquid or solid samples to promote chemical reactions, cell culture growth, or solution homogenisation. Common types include orbital, reciprocal, and platform shakers, each offering different motion patterns to suit specific experimental needs.

When selecting a shaker, consider factors such as speed range, platform size, load capacity, and temperature control capabilities. Applications often involve microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and environmental science laboratories. Precision and reproducibility in mixing are critical to produce consistent experimental results.
