RPM Calculator For Consistent Results

This Application Tool is also made available as PDF document. Please scroll down for download.

Not all movement is the same – especially in the lab. Different shaking motions and their associated shear forces have been proven to affect cells and samples in various ways. Studies show that even small changes in movement type can significantly influence experimental outcomes.

Our RPM calculator is designed to help you determine the optimal speed for your specific application using a Heidolph laboratory shaker – based on the conditions of your existing setup. This way, you can lay the foundation for reproducible, reliable results – true to our promise of research made easy.
