Product description

VWR 3500 Orbital Shaker with 12.5×11″ platform, 15–500 RPM, digital timer up to 160 hrs, ideal for cell culture assays.

The VWR 3500 Orbital Shaker is a microprocessor-controlled benchtop shaker engineered for consistent, uniform orbital shaking essential in biotechnology and molecular biology workflows, including cell culture and synthetic biology research. Featuring a robust 12.5″ × 11″ platform with a rubber mat, this shaker supports a maximum load of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) and an orbital diameter of 19 mm (3/4″), providing stable agitation critical for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical features include:

Speed range: 15 to 500 RPM with precise speed control, maintaining accuracy within ±1 rpm under 100 RPM and ±1% above 100 RPM, ensuring reproducible mixing conditions.
Digital timer: Adjustable from 1 second up to 160 hours on the digital model, supporting prolonged assays critical in biopharmaceutical production and live-cell imaging.
Motor and drive: Brushless DC motor paired with a triple eccentric drive mechanism for continuous, smooth operation minimizing vibration artifacts during fluorescence analysis and cell imaging.
Control options: Independent digital keypad or mechanical knob input for simultaneous speed and time setting, with LED display enabling remote monitoring from lab benches.
Build: Sturdy weighted base for enhanced stability during operation, minimizing drift for sensitive experimental protocols.

This orbital shaker is widely adopted in laboratories focusing on cell culture, gene editing workflows, and molecular cloning, providing reliable agitation essential for consistent experimental outcomes. Its modular platform system allows easy accommodation of various vessel types, supporting diverse bioprocessing and synthetic biology applications.

Power requirements are 120 V, 75 W, 50/60 Hz, and the unit measures 16 × 14 × 6 inches (L × W × H) weighing 42 lbs, making it a compact and durable solution for laboratories seeking a dependable shaking platform.

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.
