Microplate Shaker  

Introduction

Microplate shaker is a compact and specialized laboratory instrument used for the gentle agitation or mixing of microplates. It typically features a platform or attachment designed to securely hold microplates and provides controlled and consistent shaking or orbital motion. These shakers are widely used in various life science and analytical applications, including enzyme assays, cell culture, and sample preparation for high-throughput screening. microplate shakers are designed to fit within standard laboratory hoods and minimize sample splashing or contamination. They offer precise control over shaking speed, duration, and temperature, ensuring that the samples in microplates are uniformly mixed or agitated.

Standards

IEC 61010-2-051:2018-Particular requirements for laboratory equipment for mixing and stirring

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Orbital, linear, rocking or rotary motion suits different samples.

2. Compact, stable base resists walking at higher speeds.

3. Wide speed range handles gentle re-suspension through vigorous aeration.

4. Brushless motor provides quiet, maintenance-free operation.

5. Adjustable speed and time suit a range of mixing tasks.

FAQ

What is the Microplate Shaker mainly used for?

The Microplate Shaker is used to mix, agitate, blend or aerate samples and media. It supports sample preparation, culturing, extraction and quality control in biology, chemistry, food, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories.

What standards does the Microplate Shaker comply with?

The unit is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety and relevant GB/T standards for laboratory mixing equipment. Procedures should follow the applicable methods. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What does the warranty cover?

A 12-month warranty applies to the complete equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes consumables, wearing components and accidental or misuse damage. Our service team handles claims against the serial number, and longer cover can be arranged.

How easy is the Microplate Shaker to use?

The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.

How long does delivery usually take?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

How often should the Microplate Shaker be calibrated?

Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.

Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

Filters, seals, probes and similar items are standard and can be supplied through our channel. Customers may also source equivalent items that meet the specification. Provide the model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Are options or configurations available?

Customisation is supported for many installations, including tailored parameters, connections and accessories. Our team reviews the requirement and confirms feasibility and lead time in advance. We avoid committing to options that cannot be delivered reliably.

Is installation and commissioning included?

Benchtop and standard units typically require only placement and connection before use, while larger systems may need professional commissioning. We confirm the installation requirements at order stage. On-site service and training can be provided if needed.

What maintenance and safety points matter?

Do not exceed the rated load or speed, run unbalanced or unsecured vessels, or use incompatible media. Secure containers and use slow start. Follow laboratory safety rules.
