Introduction
A microplate shaker is a laboratory instrument used to mix the contents of microplates, such as 96-well, 384-well, and other plate formats, by shaking them in an orbital, linear, or other motion, and it is used in molecular biology, biochemistry, clinical, and drug discovery laboratories for mixing samples and reagents in microplate-based assays. The instrument consists of a platform that holds the microplate, a motor that drives the platform in the shaking motion, and controls for the speed and time; the microplate is placed on the platform and secured, and the shaking motion mixes the contents of the wells, ensuring uniform mixing of samples and reagents, resuspension of cells and particles, and acceleration of reactions, and the instrument provides adjustable shaking speed and time, and it can hold one or more microplates, depending on the model, and some models include temperature control or a heating function, and they can be used with microplates of different formats. Microplate shakers are used for mixing the contents of wells in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), for resuspending cell pellets in wells, for mixing reagents for assays, for cell culture in plates, for dissolving reagents, for homogenizing samples, for hybridization reactions, and for many other microplate-based procedures, and they are available in various configurations, from simple single-plate models to multi-plate models with programmable operation, with features such as adjustable speed, timers, and low noise. With their convenience and effectiveness, microplate shakers are essential for mixing in microplate assays.

FAQ
Q1: What testing scenarios is this shaker mainly applied to?
A: The microplate shaker is used in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, food testing, biotechnology and research to agitate and mix samples in microplates (96-well, 384-well) for ELISA, cell culture, reagent mixing, staining and incubation applications. It supports ELISA plate washing and incubation mixing, cell culture agitation, reagent mixing and resuspension, staining protocols, enzyme reaction mixing, and general microplate sample preparation. The controlled shaking provides consistent, reproducible mixing across all wells, supporting high-throughput assays and reducing well-to-well variability.
Q2: What standards does the shaker comply with?
A: The microplate shaker complies with relevant IEC 61010 laboratory electrical safety standards and applicable GB/T standards for laboratory equipment. The instrument follows applicable electromagnetic compatibility standards. Users should verify compatibility with their specific plate types and assay protocols.
Q3: What is the warranty period for the whole machine and key components?
A: The whole microplate shaker is covered by a 12-month warranty. The shaking mechanism, motor, controller, platform and housing are covered, while plate holders, mats and fuses are accessories or consumables. Damage from improper use, overloading or unauthorized repair is excluded. Extended service contracts may be available.
Q4: Is this device difficult to operate? Is professional training required?
A: Operation is simple: place the microplate on the platform, secure with holder, set speed and time, and start. No professional training is required, but users should follow proper plate loading, speed setting and safety procedures. We provide an operation manual and remote guidance.
Q5: What is the typical lead-time for order delivery?
A: 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.
Q6: Is regular maintenance required? What is the recommended maintenance cycle?
A: Speed calibration recommended every 6-12 months for critical applications. Mechanism and motor checked periodically. Platform and holder cleaned regularly. Routine inspection of power cord and connections. Full system performance check annually.
Q7: Are supporting consumables universal?
A: Plate holders, mats and fuses are available from laboratory suppliers, though compatibility should be verified. Long-term consumable cost is very low for a microplate shaker.
Q8: Can I customize parameters or supporting accessories?
A: Customization includes shaking mode (orbital, linear, double orbital), speed range, plate capacity (single, multi), timer, incubator capability (heated models) and accessories. Additional plate holders and accessories can be ordered separately. Custom orders extend delivery lead-time.
Q9: Does the purchase include on-site installation and commissioning service?
A: No installation is required. The package includes the microplate shaker and instruction manual. On-site service is not included for this type of laboratory equipment.
Q10: What types of plates are compatible with this equipment?
A: The microplate shaker agitates standard 96-well and 384-well microplates (and deep-well plates with appropriate holder) within the plate size, speed range and load specification. Different plate types (PCR plates, deep-well plates, microtiter plates) may require specific holders or adapters. Plates should be properly sealed to prevent spillage during shaking. Users should select appropriate shaking speed and time for the assay, ensure plates are properly secured, use plate seals or lids for volatile samples, avoid overloading the platform, follow proper biosafety procedures for infectious samples, and not exceed the maximum speed or load rating. The shaker should be placed on a stable, level surface. For heated models, temperature calibration should be performed periodically. The platform should be cleaned regularly, especially after sample spills. The shaking mechanism should be maintained per manufacturer schedule. For cell culture applications, the shaker should be used in an incubator or sterile environment as appropriate. The shaker should not be operated with unbalanced loads that could cause excessive vibration or movement.
