Description
Orbital shakers are ideal for solubility studies, extraction procedures, cell cultures, diagnostic tests, general mixing, hybridization, genetics research, bacterial suspensions, staining, destaining, and washing procedures. Units operate in temperature ranges of 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) and noncondensing humidity conditions of 20–80%, enabling them to be used in general-purpose incubators, warm rooms, environmental chambers, and refrigerators. Triple eccentric drive enables continuous 24-hour operation, handles heavier loads, and provides smooth, uniform agitation of full or unbalanced loads even at high speeds. Shakers feature a powder-coated, cold-rolled steel exterior. A strong, ABS housing surrounds and protects the polyester control panel.

Digital Models
Variable speed control from 15 to 500rpm
Continuous and timed operation from 0.1 hr. up to 999 hr. or 0.1 min. to 999 min.
Minimize errors: speed and operating time display simultaneously on two individual LED displays
Shaker shutdown and audible/visual alarms signal if unit operates ±10% of set speed, preventing shaker from walking
User-adjustable speed calibration can be performed using a digital handheld tachometer, where verification is required and protocols can be standardized
Unbalanced load sensor stops platform motion when excess vibration is detected and visual/audible alarms signal until condition is corrected
Soft-start feature eliminates sudden starts and stops, splashing of vessel contents or wetting of flask closure
Retains parameters during power failure and restarts unit automatically after power is restored
RS232 interface allows remote monitoring of speed and time
CO2-Resistant Digital Operating System
Electrical and mechanical components treated to protect them from up to 10% CO2 and 95% noncondensing humidity
Prevents humidity and CO2 from reacting with electrical components and forming carbolic acid
An integrated tachometer monitors and displays speed in rpm to guarantee accurate setting, and the timer allows for continuous operation or timed shaking from 1–60 minutes.
