Reliable mixing technology for demanding applications
In laboratories where reproducible mixing of samples is essential, this reciprocating shaker proves its worth thanks to its robust construction made of cold-rolled steel, precise adherence to the desired parameters and ease of use. The stroke length of 19 mm ensures the necessary efficiency, while the digital display for speed and time always provides clear information. The smooth start-up control protects samples from spillage, and an integrated load sensor reliably detects imbalances to automatically adjust the speed if necessary.
Important technical features at a glance:
- Piston shaker with 19 mm stroke for versatile processes
- Load capacity of up to 6.8 kg, ideal for a wide range of jar sizes
- Speed range from 20 rpm to 300 rpm for gentle to intensive mixing

- Brushless DC motor with eccentric drive for maintenance-free continuous operation
- Integrated RS232 interface to implement external devices or data communication
- CE and TÜV certification as proof of safety and quality standards
In addition, the shaker has a time control from one second to 160 hours, which covers numerous application periods. The solid construction was designed for continuous operation and allows cell cultures, blood or other biological samples to be mixed gently as well as intensively. Whether users are engaged in chemical extractions or gel staining: This unit is tailored to versatile laboratory scenarios and delivers consistent performance despite demanding operating conditions.
Certifications and standards
The CE and TÜV conformity of the device proves that it meets international safety and quality requirements. The robust design and the safety system to protect against imbalances also contribute to its reliability in daily laboratory use. In addition, the digital speed control ensures precise compliance with the displayed parameters, which is crucial for standardized and reproducible experiments.
Application examples
- Chemical extractions: The powerful forward and reverse stroke of the shaker facilitates efficient mixing of samples with solvents.
- Mixing blood samples: Thanks to the uniform motion spectrum, cells remain intact while blood components are homogeneously distributed.
- Gel staining: Whether in molecular biology or biochemistry laboratories, experiments benefit from reliable mixing at a defined speed.
- Cell cultures: The gentle start and stop mode is particularly suitable for aerating and homogenizing sensitive cell lines.
Widespread applications include buffer solutions, staining reagents in genetic engineering or media for cell cultivation such as DMEM or RPMI. With the optional separatory funnel platform, organic phases can also be precisely extracted and separated in separatory funnels. The shaker therefore covers a wide range of different applications.
FAQs
What speed is recommended for sensitive cell material?
A low speed of around 40 to 60 rpm is usually selected so as not to put too much strain on cells. Fine adjustment can be defined via the digital control system.
How can I avoid overloading?
The integrated load sensor automatically reduces the speed if an imbalance is detected. Also ensure that the load is evenly distributed to avoid fluctuations.
Is speed calibration necessary
Laboratories recommend regular calibration for particularly reproducible results. The device has an integrated speed calibration function that simplifies the adjustment process.
Which platforms are available as accessories
There are special platforms for separatory funnels, Erlenmeyer flasks and bottle holders. This allows the shaker to be adapted to different types of vessel.
Can the device be operated at low temperatures?
Yes, the intended temperature range is between -10 °C and 60 °C. Make sure that the samples themselves are also adapted to these temperature ranges.
Conclusion
This powerful reciprocating shaker combines a robust design with precise control to efficiently handle a wide range of laboratory tasks. Whether for cell cultures, chemical extractions or gel staining: Thanks to digital speed control, reliable safety functions and an extensive range of accessories, the device adapts flexibly to different applications. The ability to keep a close eye on critical parameters such as speed and time enables reproducible results. This makes this shaker an indispensable partner in any demanding laboratory that values productivity and precise results.
