Laboratory shakers are the preferred method for blending samples inside tubes and flasks. Precision shaking motion is essential for many lab applications, but not all shakers perform the same task. The most commonly used orbital shaker provides a smooth continuous motion for uniform mixing. For a side-to-side motion with simple agitation, choose a reciprocating shaker or dual-action shaker. Delicate samples require a rotating motion. If you want to duplicate the effect of hand mixing, select the wrist-action shaker. The rocking tool creates a gentle uniform mixing with its see-saw motion. We have a wide variety of shakers to provide you with the exact shaking motion your application requires.
