Product description

Digital microplate shaker, 250–1250 RPM, compact orbital shaking for microplates up to 4 plates, CO2 incubator compatible.

The Stuart SSM5 Microplate Shaker is a digitally controlled orbital shaker designed for precise agitation of microtiter plates and tubes, essential for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Its speed range spans from 250 to 1250 RPM, adjustable in fine 10 RPM increments, supporting protocols requiring exact shaking conditions. The shaker features an 8.5″ x 8.5″ platform capable of holding up to four microplates simultaneously, making it suitable for high-throughput applications in biotechnology and synthetic biology research.

Key technical features include:

  • Orbit diameter: 1.5 mm, ensuring consistent and gentle shaking, ideal for live-cell assays and fluorescence analysis.
  • Max load capacity: 1 kg, supporting a variety of plate sizes and labware.
  • Operating environment: Compatible with CO2 incubators up to 40°C and 80% relative humidity, enabling integration with cell culture workflows and tissue engineering applications.
  • Programmable timer: Offers flexible timing modes—from seconds to hours (three programming options spanning from 1 second up to 9 hours), critical in bioprocessing and molecular cloning protocols.
  • Compact design: Dimensions of 10” x 12” x 7” and lightweight at 15 lbs, facilitating placement in limited bench space or controlled incubator environments.

Powered at 120 V, 60 Hz, 50 W, this unit ensures stable performance consistent with clinical diagnostics and cell imaging demands. The Stuart SSM5 Microplate Shaker is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biomanufacturing pipelines, providing reliable orbital shaking critical for efficient reagent mixing and cell culture agitation.

This model includes the platform and a 120 V power cord with a 30-day warranty for laboratory assurance. It is a valuable instrument for biotechnology laboratories focusing on live-cell experiments, fluorescence assays, and molecular biology workflows requiring precise, reproducible shaking conditions.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
