Shakers

Shakers are essential laboratory instruments designed for mixing, blending, and agitating samples in a controlled and consistent manner. They operate using various mechanisms, including orbital, reciprocal, rocking, and vortexing motions, to ensure thorough homogenization and optimal results for diverse applications. These versatile devices support workflows in cell culture, microbiology, molecular biology, and chemistry, facilitating tasks such as dissolving reagents, suspending particles, and enhancing reactions. Shakers play a crucial role in sample preparation for analytical techniques like spectroscopy, chromatography, and microscopy, ensuring reliable and reproducible data. Common laboratory shaker models include orbital shakers like the Thermo Scientific MaxQ and platform shakers suitable for flasks and beakers. Reciprocal shakers, offered by brands like New Brunswick Scientific and... + More

Common laboratory shaker models include orbital shakers like the Thermo Scientific MaxQ and platform shakers suitable for flasks and beakers. Reciprocal shakers, offered by brands like New Brunswick Scientific and Eppendorf, provide vigorous agitation for more demanding applications. Vortex mixers, often found in brands like IKA and VWR, are indispensable for rapid mixing of small volumes. Investing in a high-quality shaker from trusted manufacturers like these ensures accurate and dependable performance, contributing to the success of various scientific experiments and analyses. ALT offers a selection of pre-owned and refurbished shakers, each backed by a standard 90-day warranty that can be upgraded to a three-year warranty, along with ALT's lifetime support. Because they're refurbished, shakers from ALT are typically priced 50%-80% lower than the cost of new instruments, helping labs stretch their budget further without compromising on quality. - Less
