Laboratory Shaker Buying Guide

When selecting a laboratory shaker, consider the types of samples and processes it will support.

Pay close attention to specifications such as speed range and capacity to ensure compatibility with your laboratory needs.

  • Check the speed range, typically from 30 to 500 RPM, to match your sample requirements.
  • Ensure the instrument can handle the desired sample capacity, up to 10 kg for larger volumes.
  • Consider the mode of agitation, such as orbital or reciprocating, for your specific application.
  • Verify the shaker's compatibility with any environmental conditions, such as temperature-controlled settings for incubator shakers.
