Product description

Precision VWR microplate shaker with 3mm and 15mm orbit, 30-1200 RPM, suitable for immunoassays and bioprocessing workflows.

The VWR Microplate Shaker offers versatile and reliable shaking for up to four microplates simultaneously, optimized for applications in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology. It features:

  • Variable speed control: 100–1200 RPM with a smooth 3 mm orbit for the Microplate Shaker, and 30–400 RPM with a 15 mm orbit for the Mini-Shaker 15 Advanced, allowing tailored agitation intensity based on protocol requirements.
  • Brushless DC motor: Powered by a maintenance-free motor with permanently lubricated ball bearings, ensuring long-term durability and minimal vibration—ideal for sensitive biochemical assays.
  • Compact, rugged design: Low-profile footprint (10" x 17" x 4") with an 11" x 7.75" platform, capable of operation in cold rooms (-14°F) and CO2 incubators with up to 80% non-condensing humidity, supporting live-cell imaging and cell culture protocols.
  • Digital controls: Intuitive upfront interface with precise speed and timer settings (1 sec to 160 hrs), a countdown function with automatic shutoff, and an audible alarm signaling assay completion, improving workflow monitoring in clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology labs.
  • Versatile compatibility: Supports standard microplates, deep-well blocks, and flat-bottom vessels using a sticky pad configuration—widely used in immunoassays, ELISA, and gene editing research requiring consistent orbital shaking.
  • Speed accuracy ±2%: Ensures reproducible results essential for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows.
  • Lightweight (17 lbs) and portable design for easy integration into biotechnology research environments.

This microplate shaker is critical in supporting biopharmaceutical production pipelines, molecular biology experiments, and fluorescence analysis by providing steady and programmable orbital shaking. It is favored for live-cell applications where controlled agitation improves reagent distribution and cell viability.

Backed by a 30-day warranty and factory-tested for reliability, the VWR Microplate Shaker serves as a reliable benchtop shaker for biomedical engineering, neuroimaging preparative processes, and synthetic biology research requiring precise and reproducible microplate agitation.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
