Shaker

Kimiagene Laboratory Shakers are essential devices in any modern laboratory, designed for uniform sample mixing, solution incubation, and performing chemical and biochemical reactions. These devices, with precise speed and time control, increase the accuracy and reproducibility of experiments and are widely used in biology, chemistry, medicine, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Using a Kimiagene laboratory shaker, you can mix samples uniformly and error-free, improving the quality of your results.

What is a Laboratory Shaker?

Laboratory shaker is a device designed for mixing, stirring, and homogenizing solutions, samples, and laboratory materials in a controlled environment. It allows researchers and laboratory technicians to mix liquid, suspended, or gel samples quickly and accurately without direct manual intervention.

Using a laboratory shaker reduces human error, saves time, and increases the quality and uniformity of samples. This device is used in many scientific fields including molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, medicine, food industry, and even cosmetic and hygiene industries.

Simply put, for a practical example: imagine you have a DNA solution in a test tube that must be fully mixed before a PCR reaction. Manual mixing may create bubbles or uneven samples, but a laboratory shaker, with oscillatory or rotary motion, prepares the sample uniformly and quickly for the next steps.

Types of Kimiagene Laboratory Shakers and Their Applications

Kimiagene laboratory shakers are designed in various models and sizes to meet diverse laboratory needs. Each type of shaker, with its unique features, is suitable for specific laboratory applications. Below we introduce the different types:

VDRL Shaker

The VDRL shaker is designed for serology tests and small vial assays. With adjustable speed and time, it mixes samples uniformly and prevents errors in test results.

Applications: Blood tests, serology reactions, vial preparation.

Erlenmeyer Flask Shaker

This type of shaker is suitable for mixing chemical and biochemical solutions in large Erlenmeyer flasks. With a powerful motor and ergonomic design, it ensures uniform mixing of samples.

Applications: Chemical reactions, solution preparation, industrial and research testing.

Microtube Shaker

The microtube shaker is suitable for small samples in microtubes. With adjustable speed and smooth motion, it is ideal for incubation and mixing sensitive samples.

Applications: DNA/RNA preparation, enzyme mixing, molecular biology samples.

Incubator Shaker

The incubator shaker combines a shaker and incubator, providing precise temperature control in addition to mixing samples. It is used for growing cells and microorganisms under constant temperature and isolated conditions.

Applications: Bacterial and cell growth, temperature-sensitive enzymatic reactions, laboratory cultures.

Magnetic Shaker

Magnetic shakers use a magnetic rod inside the solution to mix samples indirectly and without contact with the device. This type of shaker is suitable for solutions that should not contact the motor or shaker surface.

Applications: Sensitive solutions, delicate chemical reactions, preventing sample contamination.
