Shakers

Laboratory shakers, a vital subcategory within incubators and ovens, provide precise and controlled agitation for a variety of scientific applications. These instruments use orbital, reciprocating, or rocking motions to mix, blend, or aerate samples within flasks, tubes, and microplates. This controlled agitation is essential for consistent temperature distribution within incubated samples, supporting workflows like cell culturing, solubility studies, and bacterial growth. Shakers enhance the efficiency of processes such as staining, hybridization, and extraction, ultimately ensuring reliable results for downstream analysis in techniques like spectroscopy and chromatography. They are integral to sample preparation and play a critical role in maintaining homogenous conditions for sensitive reactions.

They are integral to sample preparation and play a critical role in maintaining homogenous conditions for sensitive reactions. Leading manufacturers like Thermo Fisher Scientific, Eppendorf, and New Brunswick Scientific offer a range of shaker models with varying platform sizes, speed ranges, and temperature controls to suit diverse laboratory needs. From compact benchtop units ideal for individual experiments to larger, high-capacity models designed for high-throughput screening, researchers can find the perfect shaker to optimize their workflows. These advanced shakers often integrate with other lab equipment, enhancing the reproducibility and efficiency of applications like protein crystallization, DNA sequencing, and general chemical synthesis. Selecting the appropriate shaker ensures reliable sample processing, contributing to the accuracy and repeatability of research findings across various scientific disciplines. ALT carries a wide selection of pre-owned, refurbished incubator shakers. Every unit includes a standard 90-day warranty, with the option to upgrade to a three-year warranty, plus ALT's lifetime support for as long as you own the equipment. Refurbished incubator shakers from ALT typically cost 50%-80% less than buying new, making it easier for labs to get the equipment they need without straining their budget. - Less
