Lab Companion SKC-7100 Orbital Shaker with 1" Stroke and Microprocessor PID Control

The Lab Companion SKC-7100 Orbital Shaker is a precision benchtop orbital shaker designed for diverse laboratory applications including biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cell culture workflows. Featuring a 25mm orbital stroke, this shaker operates at speeds up to 500 rpm, controlled via a microprocessor PID system to maintain constant, stable shaking conditions critical for reproducible experimental results.

Key technical features include:

• Microprocessor PID control ensuring precise and consistent shaking speed
• High torque direct drive brushless motor with triple cam system for quiet, maintenance-free operation, supporting heavy workloads while minimizing vibration
• Programmable progressive operation, allowing for automation in repetitive protocols vital in bioprocessing and synthetic biology
• Smooth acceleration and deceleration to prevent sample spillage, ensuring sample integrity during live-cell imaging or fluorescence analysis
• Intelligent best effort run function that auto-adjusts rpm under excessive or unbalanced loads, enhancing reliability in clinical diagnostics labs
• Low-profile design (only 12 cm height) minimizes shaking-induced displacement, suitable for sensitive biomanufacturing and biopharmaceutical production pipelines

The user-friendly VFD control panel offers clear, tactile membrane switches and a durable control knob, facilitating ease of use in demanding research environments. The shaker platform optionally supports easily exchangeable slide-type universal platforms and accessories such as spring wire racks, rubber mats, and weight increasers to accommodate a variety of vessel types and protocol requirements.

Environmental operation range is 5–40°C with up to 80% relative humidity, ensuring compatibility with most controlled lab settings.

This orbital shaker is widely adopted in biotechnology research, synthetic biology, and clinical diagnostics, making it an essential tool for workflows involving molecular cloning, cell culture agitation, and bioassay preparation.
