What is a laboratory shaker?

Laboratory shakers, which are used to mix liquids and prepare solutions and suspensions. These equipment creates a movement between liquids or between liquids and solids in order to achieve mixing, suspension, dispersion, homogenization, heat transfer processes, among others.

Shaker stirrers are mainly used in clinical and research laboratories; for mixing, homogenizing and/or preparation of combinations of substances. There is a wide variety of presentations of these devices and they mostly depend on their size and whether their speed is fixed or adjustable. Inside they have an eccentric rotating mechanism that allows the rotation of the substances in question.

To help in that regard, some of these teams have sticking platforms or fasteners that hold everything in place when starting the shaking process.

This equipment consists of a time control which can be adjusted as needed, likewise some have a speed control which can be adjusted as required. At the top is a platform where the sample holders are placed, which has a non-slip material.
