Purpose:
An Orbital Shaker is used to mix, agitate, or aerate samples within flasks, tubes, or other containers in biological and chemical laboratories. It ensures uniform mixing without manual intervention.
Features:
1. Agitation: Enables consistent mixing for cultures, reactions, or suspensions.
2. Temperature Regulation: Some models provide controlled temperature settings for heat-sensitive experiments.
3. Variable Speed Control: Allows adjustment of shaking intensity based on sample requirements.
4. Enhanced Aeration: Promotes gas exchange in cell cultures by shaking at optimal speeds.
5. Applications: Used in microbial culture growth, solubility studies, and preparation of assay solutions.
