Orbital Shakers for the Lab: Uniform and Efficient Orbital Mixing for Cultures and Samples

Welcome to the Orbital Shakers category at Labotal. These instruments are a cornerstone in many laboratories, providing an optimal solution for uniform, precise, and efficient orbital mixing of liquids in flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks, plates, and other vessels. They are particularly essential for growing cell and bacterial cultures, dissolution processes, and preparing samples requiring constant aeration and mixing.

Principles of Operation: Rotational Motion to Create a Homogeneous Environment

An orbital shaker operates by creating a uniform and constant rotational (orbital) motion of the platform on which the vessels containing the samples are placed. This motion occurs in a horizontal plane, following a circular path with a fixed radius. The controlled rotation causes the liquid within the vessels to move dynamically, ensuring thorough mixing, sufficient aeration (in the case of cultures or reactions), and preventing particle sedimentation.

The ability to control the rotation speed (RPM) is a critical feature in orbital shakers, allowing precise adjustment of mixing intensity to meet application requirements, sample volume, and type of container. Many advanced models also offer the option of integrated temperature control (orbital incubator shaker), a built-in timer, and advanced programming capabilities, ensuring optimal working conditions and high reproducibility of experiments.

Key Applications of Orbital Shakers in the Lab

Orbital shakers are widely used in various fields, including biology, microbiology, biochemistry, clinical chemistry, and industry. The most common applications are:

  • Growing cell and bacterial cultures in flasks and Erlenmeyer flasks, ensuring optimal aeration and uniform mixing of the culture medium.
  • Preparation of suspensions and homogenization of biological and chemical samples.
  • Enzymatic and chemical reactions requiring constant mixing at controlled temperature.
  • Sample preparation before various analyses (HPLC, GC, spectrophotometry).
  • Screening assays in plates requiring uniform mixing of solutions in all wells.
  • Fast and thorough dissolution of powders, salts, and reagents in liquids.
