Thermal Mixer

Laboratory shakers are common instruments used to mix, agitate, or process samples within a variety of vessels, such as flasks, tubes, plates, and trays. In order to provide optimal conditions for cell growth, some type of agitation or shaking is necessary to incorporate oxygen and evenly distribute nutrients throughout the culture media. Reactions, assays, and other preparations may also call for prolonged and consistent shaking. Shakers can come in a variety of formats, sizes, and functions. Open-air platform shakers can be placed on a benchtop or inside incubators. Incubated shakers fulfill an additional role as an incubator by enclosing the sample and providing temperature control. Some features to consider when purchasing a laboratory platform shaker are platform size, capacity, display options, and customizable options.
