Laboratory shakers are a diverse group of essential instruments enabling controlled mixing and agitation of liquids, solutions, and various samples. They are necessary for many processes requiring homogeneity, dissolution, incubation, or aeration, providing an efficient and reliable solution to ensure reproducible experimental results. At Labotal, we offer a wide range of shakers, from compact vortex mixers to large incubator shakers, suitable for every laboratory need.
Shakers differ in the type of motion they produce, which is suitable for specific applications. The main types include: Orbital Shakers – providing a smooth circular motion, ideal for general mixing, bacterial growth, and cell cultures. Reciprocating (Linear) Shakers – providing a back-and-forth motion, suitable for extractions, wash steps, and absorption assays. Rocking Shakers and Waving (Platform) Shakers – providing tilting or wave-like motion, often for gentle use with gels, hybridization, or membranes.
In addition, there are Vortex Mixers for rapid, localized mixing of single tubes, Vibrating Shakers for high-speed mixing of multiple tubes in parallel, and Incubator Shakers – integrated systems providing temperature control, and sometimes CO2 and humidity, along with agitation, essential for incubating and growing sensitive or large-volume cell cultures. Most shakers offer precise speed control, timer settings, and are compatible with a wide range of platforms and accessories for holding various types of vessels (tubes, flasks, bottles, microplates).
Shakers are versatile tools used in a wide range of laboratory disciplines:
They provide a uniform and controlled solution for a wide variety of mixing and agitation tasks, contributing to reproducible and reliable experimental outcomes.
