Orbital Shaker CAFIPPED Lab Oscillator 0-210rpm with Silicone Pad

Description

Product Overview

The CAFIPPED Orbital Shaker is engineered for precise horizontal motion, delivering a speed range of 0 to 210 revolutions per minute. Constructed primarily from high‑quality, heat‑resistant plastic, the unit combines durability with a lightweight profile, weighing just 7.94 pounds. Its robust DC gear motor, paired with eccentric ball bearings, ensures smooth, vibration‑free operation, while the integrated silicone pad provides a gentle yet effective surface for mixing delicate samples. The shaker’s compact footprint—12.99 x 12.6 x 4.7 inches—fits comfortably on any laboratory bench, and the generous workbench area can accommodate up to 2.2 pounds of material in a single run.

Designed with user flexibility in mind, the device features an adjustable timer that can be set from 1 to 15 minutes, allowing researchers to fine‑tune mixing cycles for a variety of protocols. The speed control dial offers incremental adjustments, giving precise command over oscillation intensity. Whether you are preparing RPR test cards, homogenizing reagents, or conducting routine sample preparation, the shaker adapts to the specific demands of each task, delivering consistent results across repeated runs.

Portability is a key advantage of this model. At under eight pounds, the shaker can be easily moved between workstations or taken on site for field applications. The compact design does not compromise on performance; the internal motor is engineered for low noise output, creating a quiet laboratory environment while maintaining the high torque needed for reliable mixing of viscous or particulate samples.

Durability is reinforced through the use of corrosion‑resistant components and a sealed motor housing that protects against accidental spills and dust ingress. The eccentric ball bearings reduce wear over time, extending the service life of the unit. Additionally, the silicone pad is replaceable, ensuring that the mixing surface can be refreshed without replacing the entire shaker.

Safety features include an automatic shut‑off when the timer elapses, preventing over‑mixing and conserving energy. The unit also incorporates a non‑slip base that stabilizes the shaker during operation, reducing the risk of movement that could disturb delicate samples.

Beyond standard laboratory use, the Orbital Shaker is suitable for educational settings, quality‑control labs, and small‑scale production environments where reliable, repeatable mixing is essential. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any workflow that requires gentle agitation, from biotechnology research to chemical analysis.

Accessories such as additional silicone pads, custom adapters, and protective covers are available to further tailor the shaker to specific experimental needs. The modular design allows for easy integration with existing lab equipment, enhancing overall workflow efficiency.

CAFIPPED stands behind its products with a comprehensive warranty and responsive technical support. Users can rely on prompt assistance for troubleshooting, parts replacement, and guidance on optimal usage practices, ensuring minimal downtime and sustained productivity.

Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward; the exterior plastic surface can be wiped with a mild detergent, and the silicone pad can be removed for thorough cleaning or replacement. This ease of upkeep contributes to a hygienic laboratory environment and prolongs the lifespan of the shaker.

Usage

The Orbital Shaker excels in environments where consistent, gentle mixing is required. In research laboratories, it supports protocols ranging from cell culture media agitation to enzyme reaction homogenization. Its adjustable speed and timer make it ideal for time‑sensitive assays, allowing scientists to synchronize mixing steps with other experimental procedures.

Field technicians benefit from the shaker’s lightweight construction and robust build, using it for on‑site sample preparation, environmental testing, and portable diagnostic workflows. The silicone pad provides a non‑reactive surface that accommodates a wide variety of containers, from standard microcentrifuge tubes to custom sample holders, ensuring versatility across diverse applications.

FAQ

What types of containers can I use with the silicone pad?

The silicone pad is compatible with most standard laboratory containers, including microcentrifuge tubes, petri dishes, and small beakers. Its non‑reactive surface ensures that samples remain uncontaminated.

Can I operate the shaker continuously for extended periods?

Yes, the shaker can run continuously, but we recommend using the timer function to prevent overheating and to conserve energy. For long‑duration runs, periodic breaks are advisable.

Is the speed adjustment smooth or does it jump between settings?

The speed dial provides incremental adjustments, allowing you to fine‑tune the rpm without abrupt jumps. This ensures consistent mixing conditions throughout your experiment.

How do I replace the silicone pad if it becomes worn?

The pad is designed for easy removal. Simply lift it from the workbench, clean any residue, and snap a new pad into place. Replacement pads are sold separately.

What warranty coverage does CAFIPPED provide?

CAFIPPED offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and motor performance. Our support team is available to assist with any issues that arise during the warranty period.
