Shaker Buying Considerations

  • Determine the motion type required for your application: orbital, reciprocating, or rocking.
  • Consider the load capacity to ensure it meets your sample volume needs.
  • Check for compatibility with temperature control if your applications are temperature-sensitive.
  • Evaluate the speed range and adjustability for precise control over your mixing process.
  • Ensure the shaker fits within your available laboratory space and integrates with existing equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are orbital shakers used for?
Orbital shakers are used to mix solutions and suspensions in a circular motion, ideal for cell culture and microbiological applications.
How does a reciprocating shaker function?
Reciprocating shakers move samples back and forth in a linear motion, suitable for applications requiring precise agitation.
Can shakers be used for temperature-sensitive applications?
Yes, incubator shakers are designed to maintain specific temperatures while providing effective shaking, perfect for temperature-sensitive samples.
What industries benefit from using shakers?
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and chemical research extensively use shakers for their mixing needs.
