Shakers
Laboratory shakers are essential lab agitation equipment used across life sciences, biotech, molecular biology, and cell culture workflows. From gentle rocking to high-speed orbital motion, shakers provide the controlled movement needed for mixing reagents, incubating samples, growing cultures, and supporting blotting or analytical protocols. MIDSCI offers a complete selection of digital shakers, orbital shakers, and microplate shakers designed to fit benchtop, shaking incubator, and cold room environments.
Our units maintain consistent functionality with reliable speed range control, calibration stability, and compatibility with test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, tube racks, microplate formats, and a wide range of shaker accessories.
Types of Shakers
Digital Shakers
Digital lab shakers provide precise control, reproducible settings, and stable motion. Ideal for PCR workflows, blotting trays, microbiology applications, and life sciences environments where accuracy and consistency matter.
Orbital Shakers
Orbital shakers deliver uniform circular motion suitable for growing cell culture samples, mixing reagents, and maintaining suspensions. They are popular in incubator shakers, shaking incubator environments, and general laboratory equipment setups. Models range from heavy-duty shakers to stackable formats for high-capacity workflows.
Plate Shakers
Microplate shakers are designed for microplate assays, high-throughput screening, and PCR plate agitation. Their compact benchtop footprint integrates easily with incubators, refrigerators, and water baths.
