Frequently Asked Questions
What are orbital shakers used for?
Mixing and agitation: Orbital shakers are commonly used to mix powders or suspended solids in a liquid. The circular motion of the shaker ensures that all the particles are evenly mixed and suspended, which is important for many laboratory procedures such as cell culture, staining, and chemical reactions..
What is the difference between rocking shaker and orbital shaker?
Orbital shakers typically have a wider speed range than rocking shakers, ranging from a few rpm to several hundred rpm. This allows for a more vigorous shaking motion that can be adjusted to suit the sample type. In contrast, rocking shakers usually have a slower speed range, typically between 5 and 100 rpm.
How to operate an orbital shaker?
Adjust the speed and time settings on the shaker to the desired settings. Turn the shaker on and allow it to run for the desired amount of time. Once the shaking is complete, turn off the shaker and carefully remove the container from the platform.
