Lab Shakers: High-Performance Orbital & Vortex Mixers for Laboratories
Lab shakers are precision instruments designed to agitate, mix, or homogenize samples in laboratories. They play a critical role in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and material science.
Types of Lab Shakers:
Applications of Lab Shakers:
- Biotechnology and Cell Culture
- Used for cell suspension cultivation, bacterial growth, and mixing biological reagents (e.g., enzymes or DNA solutions) to ensure uniform nutrient distribution.
- Incubated or refrigerated models maintain optimal temperature for sensitive biological samples.
- Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research
- Facilitate dissolution testing, chemical reactions, and extraction processes by providing consistent agitation, critical for reproducibility in drug development.
- Specialty shakers handle corrosive substances or CO2-resistant environments.
- Quality Control and Industrial Testing
- Applied in paint mixing, ink homogenization, and material testing (e.g., plastics, textiles) to ensure product consistency.
- Vortex mixers rapidly blend viscous materials like adhesives or gels .
- Medical and Clinical Laboratories
- Perform serological tests (e.g., VDRL for syphilis, Widal test for typhoid) by agitating antigen-antibody mixtures 9.
- Mini vortex shakers prepare samples for diagnostics, such as blood or saliva analysis.
- Environmental and Food Science
- Shake samples for contaminant analysis, fermentation studies, or nutrient extraction in food safety protocols.
