Vibrating Shakers for the Lab: Uniform and Efficient Shaking of Samples and Tubes

Welcome to the Vibrating Shakers category at Labotal. These instruments, known for their ability to mix samples quickly, uniformly, and efficiently, are a basic and essential tool in a wide range of laboratories, suitable for mixing liquids in test tubes, flasks, plates, and more.

Principles of Operation: Controlled Shaking for Sample Homogeneity

Vibrating shakers operate by generating controlled mechanical motion that is transferred to the samples. The type of motion can vary, ranging from orbital rotation, linear or vertical movement, to the unique ‘vortex’ motion found in compact devices. The main goal is to cause the liquid within the test tube, flask, or plate to move dynamically, thereby ensuring thorough and uniform mixing of all sample components.

Many instruments allow for adjustment of shaking speed, and sometimes duration, for precise adaptation to application requirements and sample volume. Efficient mixing is essential for ensuring accuracy and reliability in various experiments requiring a homogeneous sample or complete dissolution of substances.

Common Applications of Vibrating Shakers in Laboratories

Vibrating shakers are versatile tools with a wide range of applications in the lab, including:

• Mixing and dissolving reagents, chemical, and biological samples.
• Resuspension of pellets from cell or bacterial cultures.
• Preparation and mixing of samples before various analyses (such as spectrophotometry, chromatography, PCR).
• Mixing bacterial/yeast cultures for homogenization before sampling or plating.
• ELISA and other assays in plates requiring uniform mixing of solutions.
• Mixing of viscous materials or samples containing particles.
