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.
Vortexing & Shaking
Life Science
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.
Hei-SHAKE
Series 2018
The lab shakers of the Hei-SHAKE Series support you and master nearly any shaking and mixing task not only reliable, but also efficiently. With the help of a wide range of attachments and extensions, each shaker is configurable for your individual application right up to temperate shaking with our optional incubator system.

Platform shakers
The Hei-SHAKE series offers platform shakers for different applications in the laboratory. There are different movement types for specific purposes: orbital shakers for moving cell and bacterial cultures, vibration shakers for dissolving solids in liquids, tumbling shakers for blotting methods, rocking shakers for protein dying processes and reciprocating shakers for liquid-liquid extractions. These shakers can be individually adapted with the matching accessories and are made for daily use in the laboratory thanks to their sturdy design and their intuitive handling.

Vortexer
Vortexers are indispensable devices in the laboratory providing fast results through their very intuitive handling and their performance and thus convincing overall. They are used for different applications e.g. the dissolution of solids or of cell pellets in a medium or the mixing of samples in test tubes. Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co. KG offers three different Vortexer models being able to process a wider range of samples more efficiently by means of additional accessories.

Overhead shakers
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.
