Orbital Shaker ACNAO Oscillator with Adjustable Feet, Long Power Cord

Description

Product Overview

The ACNAO Orbital Shaker is engineered to provide consistent, uniform motion for a broad spectrum of laboratory applications. Built around a high‑precision DC gear motor coupled with eccentric ball bearings, the shaker delivers smooth horizontal oscillation that minimizes dead zones and ensures every sample receives equal exposure to mixing forces. The platform measures a generous workbench area, allowing users to accommodate containers up to 2.2 lb (approximately 1 kg) in a single run, which translates to higher throughput and reduced handling time. Speed control is intuitive, offering a continuous range from 0 to 210 r/min, while the built‑in timer can be set between 1 and 15 minutes in one‑minute increments, giving researchers the flexibility to fine‑tune protocols for cell culture, enzyme reactions, or chemical synthesis. The unit operates on a standard 110 V power supply and includes a long power cord that facilitates placement on crowded benchtops without the need for additional extensions. Its compact footprint, weighing only 7.94 lb, makes it portable enough to move between workstations or to transport to field sites, yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily laboratory use.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, the ACNAO Orbital Shaker fits seamlessly into a variety of laboratory environments. In a typical microbiology lab, researchers can place culture flasks, petri dishes, or microtiter plates on the platform to promote even aeration and nutrient distribution, which is critical for reproducible growth curves. In analytical chemistry settings, the shaker can be used to keep reagents in suspension during titration or spectrophotometric assays, ensuring that absorbance readings are not skewed by sedimentation. The adjustable speed range accommodates delicate samples that require gentle motion as well as more vigorous mixing for viscous solutions. The timer function eliminates the need for constant supervision, allowing technicians to set the desired mixing duration and attend to other tasks, thereby improving overall lab efficiency. Because the shaker includes adjustable feet, it can be leveled on uneven surfaces, making it suitable for use on laboratory benches, fume hoods, or even portable workstations in field research. Its low noise level ensures that it does not disrupt the quiet environment required for sensitive measurements such as optical density or fluorescence detection.

FAQ

What types of containers can I use with this orbital shaker?

The shaker’s platform is designed to accommodate a wide range of laboratory containers, including standard 50 ml and 250 ml conical tubes, petri dishes, microtiter plates, and small beakers up to 2.2 lb. The adjustable feet allow you to level the platform on uneven surfaces, ensuring stable operation regardless of the container shape.

Can I operate the shaker continuously for extended periods?

Yes. The ACNAO Orbital Shaker is built for continuous operation and includes a robust DC gear motor that can run for many hours without overheating. For prolonged runs, it is recommended to monitor the device periodically and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

Is the shaker compatible with a 220 V power supply?

The standard model is configured for 110 V operation. If you require a 220 V version, please contact ACNAO customer service to arrange a compatible power configuration or an appropriate voltage converter.

How do I clean the shaker after use?

Cleaning is straightforward: disconnect the power cord, wipe the platform with a soft, damp cloth, and use a mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. The motor housing is sealed to protect against splashes, but it should be kept dry.

What warranty does ACNAO provide for this product?

ACNAO offers a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty includes free technical support and, if necessary, repair or replacement of faulty components. Registration of the product on the ACNAO website is required to activate the warranty.
