Waving Shakers for the Lab: Gentle and Precise Mixing for Sensitive Samples

Welcome to the Waving Shakers (Rocking Shakers) category at Labotal. These instruments provide an ideal solution for gentle, uniform, and efficient mixing of sensitive samples, viscous liquids, and large volume samples, suitable for various laboratory applications. Waving shakers are especially essential when homogeneous mixing is required without compromising sample integrity.

Principle of Operation: Controlled Waving Motion for Optimal Mixing

Waving shakers operate by creating a gentle rocking or controlled waving motion, mimicking sea waves (hence their name). This motion, typically occurring in one plane with a variable tilt angle, allows for efficient sample mixing without generating strong shear forces that could damage delicate samples, such as cells, proteins, or other sensitive molecules.

Most models allow control over shaking speed and tilt angle. Precise adjustment of these parameters is critical for the type of sample and the specific application. The gentle motion ensures thorough homogenization even in larger volumes or samples with varying viscosity, while preserving sample integrity and minimizing foam or degradation.

Key Applications of Waving Shakers in the Lab

Waving shakers are essential for many applications in clinical labs, research, blood banking, and biotechnology, including:

• Mixing blood collection tubes to prevent clotting and for homogenization before hematological and biochemical tests.
• Gentle mixing of cell cultures in flasks, plates, or culture bags without compromising cell viability.
• Hybridization processes in molecular biology (such as Southern/Northern Blots).
• Mixing of gels during destaining or washing processes after electrophoresis.
• Preparation of gentle suspensions of particles or cells.
• Mixing of viscous liquids, culture media, or samples containing various components that require gentle mixing.
• Use in blood banks, to ensure uniform mixing of blood and platelet units.
