This mini orbital shaker moves samples in a 360° circular orbit at a stepless 30 to 120RPM, set with a rotary knob on the front of the base. The platform measures 125 x 100mm and the whole unit is only 30mm thick, so it fits on a crowded bench, in a fume cupboard or on a school prep table. Power comes through a Type-C socket from the supplied USB adapter and 1 metre cable.
Features and benefits:
- Stepless speed control from 30 to 120RPM - turn the front knob to find a gentle swirl for delicate samples or a livelier mix for thicker liquids
- 360° circular orbital motion - a smooth, even movement for mixing, blotting and cell culture style work
- Low profile of 30mm - leaves room on shallow shelves and cramped benches
- Compact 125 x 100mm footprint - holds tubes, microplates or small vessels without taking over the bench
- Raised ridges and tabs along the platform edges - help keep items in place, with 2 rubber bands supplied for extra hold
- Type-C power, DC 5V / 2A - runs from the supplied adapter, and the maker says it also works from USB chargers, power banks or computers
- White finish - easy to wipe down and to see spills on
Applications:
- Mixing samples in tubes, microplates and small vessels
- Gentle blotting and staining steps in school and teaching labs
- Cell culture style work in research settings
- Mixing solutions for brewing, cosmetics and food testing benches
In the box:
- 1 x mini orbital shaker
- 1 x USB Type-C power adapter and cable
- 2 x rubber bands
Note: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface and secure vessels with the rubber bands before raising the speed. Keep liquids away from the Type-C port and the base, and wipe up spills straight away. Check the plug on the supplied adapter is suitable for your socket; use a UK adapter if it is not.
