FAQ

What are the main applications of the Platelet Shaker?

The Platelet 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 Platelet 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?

We provide a 12-month limited warranty on the instrument and its key working parts. Consumables, accessories and parts subject to normal wear are excluded, as is damage caused by incorrect operation or maintenance. An extended service plan is available on request.

How easy is the Platelet Shaker to use?

No advanced specialist skills are needed for standard operation, though correct sample handling and safety practice should be followed. We supply a detailed manual and start-up support. For multi-user or regulated sites, a short staff training session can be arranged.

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 Platelet Shaker be calibrated?

To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.

Are the consumables universal or proprietary?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Are options or configurations available?

Yes, common options include different ranges, voltages, accessories, interfaces and capacity or size configurations. We confirm feasibility, specifications and any delivery impact before order confirmation. Custom requirements are reviewed case by case.

Is installation and commissioning included?

Most models can be commissioned by following the manual, including positioning, connections, checks and a first test run. Remote guidance is available during start-up. On-site installation, commissioning and training can be arranged separately where required.

What should be avoided when using the Platelet Shaker?

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.
