Laboratory shakers do just that - shake the mixtures that are
placed on them. Plates vibrate back and forth or circularly to mix the
components. Some laboratory shakers have plates that tilt up and down as well
as side to side for an added mixing element.
The
first step in choosing the right machine is to decide the vibration speed, how
adjustable the speed is, and if the plate tilts as well as vibrates. The second
step is to choose which movement you need such as: orbital, rocking, twisting,
waver etc.

Types of shakers we have: Microplates, Wrist Action, Orbital, Rocker, Reciprocal, Twist, Platelet, Vertical
Shaker for cold room or cold incubator:
Suitable for work at 4 degrees Celsius and is not damaged as a result.
Shaker for CO2 incubator:
A standard shaker does not withstand the conditions prevailing in a CO2 incubator
Shaker designed to work in a CO2 incubator
With separate control located outside the incubator.
Shaker with heating (also possible to cool):
Air heating or water heating.
With air heating-called incubator shaker
With water heating is called a water bath with a shaker.
