Laboratory Shakers are used to mix, agitate, or process samples within flasks, tubes or blots. The laboratory shaker's main purpose is to agitate samples within tubes or in most cases flasks. This device is made up of control panels that upon its movement the grooves would function more to support tubes horizontally.
Laboratory shakers do not damage constituent sample materials but rather leave those materials untouched. There are tons of laboratory shakers to serve various purposes like maintaining stasis, retard reactions to make a few.
Types of Laboratory Shakers
Laboratory shakes have lots of styles that can be grouped according to their shaking motion. It should be made known that the different types below don't make up the whole list but have some of the well-known styles. So, some of the popular ones are; rocking, reciprocating, wrist action, rotating, rolling, and finally orbital.
● Reciprocating motion: They tend to move forward or backward.
● Rocking motion: This device can move in a seesaw motion
● Rolling devices: This device can move from one side to another
● Rotating shakers: The speed isn't quite the same even though they function similarly to that of centrifuges.
● Wrist or hand shakers: This device has the capability of swinging especially when in motion.
● Orbital shakers: Some of this design is that of an incubator-style shaker. The movement of these shakers helps in culturing cells since they create a horizontal circular shaking motion.
