Orbital Shakers
Orbital shakers are used in laboratories to gently mix liquids or solid samples in a controlled, circular motion. They operate by rotating a platform in an orbital path, creating uniform motion that ensures consistent mixing without excessive agitation. This gentle movement is especially useful for applications where delicate stirring is necessary to avoid foaming or damage to sensitive materials. Commonly used in biology, chemistry, and life sciences, orbital shakers are ideal for tasks such as maintaining uniform growth conditions for cell cultures, promoting even growth and protein production in bacterial or yeast cultures, mixing solutions and reagents, and assisting in extraction processes from biological or chemical samples. These shakers are crucial in research and clinical labs, offering precise control over mixing speeds and durations to optimize experimental conditions.
