Vortexing & Shaking

Limitless possibilities made easily and conceived individually

Life Science

The Life Science sector is the most common area of application of our shakers. They are used both for media and sample preparation (e.g. orbital shakers for LB media or vortexers during the DNA/RNA extraction), for coloring blots and for the production of microbiological organisms and eukaryotic cell cultures.

Chemistry

In chemistry, shakers are used among others for the media and sample preparation (e.g. salt solutions, color mixtures or soil sample preparation for measuring the pH or the heavy metal content) and for chemical reactions that do not need a heating (e.g. photochemistry).

Pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical companies use shakers in quality control for preparing buffer solutions or samples that serve analytical purposes.

Overhead shakers are compact devices that are suitable especially for challenging applications. Large models such as our Reax 20 are equipped with a separate emergency switch ensuring safety even during heavy loads of up to 30 kg. This allows the user to mix color and varnish samples safely, to prepare soil samples or to dissolve poorly soluble salts. The smaller Reax 2 is often used in molecular biology or biochemistry to extract different products from cells or tissues.

Platform Shakers

Regardless of whether homogenization, suspension or dispersion – a shaker is used during the course of an experiment in virtually every laboratory. A wide range of different shakers exists, which are also used with different accessories to become strong supporters of daily laboratory tasks.

The choice of platform shakers is so large that it is easy to quickly loose track. This can make choosing the right model for your own application a challenge.

This buyer’s guide should help you to make the right choice.
