Shaking machine

Which Shaker Type Fits Your Laboratory?

First, consider your daily lab tasks. Orbital shakers are ideal for cell culture due to their uniform circular motion, which prevents air bubble formation. For instance, if you work with sensitive cells, choosing this type ensures optimal oxygenation.

Next, examine the motion type. Vortex shakers like the Daihan DH-WVM00031, with speeds up to 3,300 rpm, are perfect for rapid mixing of small samples. Its compact design, weighing lightly with a height of only 215 mm, makes it highly portable.

Additionally, rocking shakers like the Jeio Tech CWS-350 (8-100 rpm, 0-13° tilt angle) facilitate gentle hybridization. The PID controller maintains a stable speed, which is ideal for staining at 15-70 rpm. While the CWS-350 can handle loads up to 5kg for larger flasks, the Daihan vortex shaker can process tubes up to 76mm.

Finally, prioritize your specific application. In yeast culture (120-300 rpm), an orbital shaker with a 25-50mm shaking amplitude is the top choice. This allows you to optimize performance right from the start.

How to Verify Shaker Quality?

To ensure durability, check the construction materials. The Witeg WI-1500 Pro shaker stands out with oil-free bearings, reducing maintenance needs. In practice, biology labs use it for DNA extraction without any interruptions.

Furthermore, verify certifications. Choose shakers that meet GLP/GMP standards for pharmaceutical research. Jeio Tech models with PID microprocessors ensure high repeatability. Additionally, conduct a practical test before purchasing. Check if the shaker maintains constant torque, keeping the speed steady even when the load changes. This determines daily reliability.

Lastly, a long-term warranty is a good sign. Models like the JEIOTECH CWS-350 typically come with a 2-year warranty and calibration services.

Key Considerations When Buying a Shaker

Budget is a major factor. Basic shakers range from 10 - 20 million VND, while high-end models like Witeg exceed 50 million VND - a worthwhile investment for specialized labs. Investing correctly leads to long-term savings.

Next, consider lab space. Stackable shakers save room, making them suitable for small facilities. Check dimensions; for example, the WI-1500 Pro is only 120mm high. Always read the manual carefully to avoid errors like overloading. With Jeio Tech, the automatic PID control simplifies the process.

In summary, choosing the right shaker by matching your application, specifications, and quality will elevate your experimental results. Evaluate your specific needs today, contact suppliers to test models like Witeg or Daihan, and start optimizing your lab more efficiently!
