Orbital and Reciprocal Shaker

Introduction

This dual-mode shaker combines orbital and reciprocal motion, offering flexibility for different laboratory mixing requirements. It is widely used in research laboratories where multiple agitation modes are needed for various experimental protocols.

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

2. Low-profile platform and non-slip feet keep the unit steady.

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

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

5. Platform accessories accept tubes, flasks, bottles and microplates.

FAQ

What are the main applications of the Orbital and Reciprocal Shaker?

The Orbital and Reciprocal 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.

Which standards and regulations apply to the Orbital and Reciprocal Shaker?

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 warranty comes with the Orbital and Reciprocal Shaker?

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 Orbital and Reciprocal 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.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

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 Orbital and Reciprocal 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.

Where do we get replacement parts?

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.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

The standard model can be configured with selected accessories and operating options to suit the task. Non-standard requests are assessed before quotation so the final build is clearly defined. We confirm details before production.

How is the Orbital and Reciprocal Shaker commissioned?

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.
