Orbital Shaker Chang Bioscience Lab Rotator 12×8.5in

Description

Product Overview

The Chang Bioscience Orbital Shaker is engineered for laboratory environments where consistency, reliability, and ease of use are paramount. Constructed from a high‑impact polymer housing and a stainless‑steel platform, the unit balances durability with a lightweight footprint, allowing it to be moved between benches without sacrificing stability. The shaker offers a continuously variable speed range from 0 to 210 RPM, giving researchers fine‑grained control over orbital motion to accommodate a wide variety of protocols, from gentle staining of delicate tissue sections to vigorous mixing of viscous reagents.

Its platform measures 12 × 8.5 in, providing ample space for standard laboratory trays, petri dishes, and multi‑well plates. An integrated anti‑slip silicone pad prevents movement of containers during operation, reducing the risk of spills and cross‑contamination. The device also includes a mechanical timer that can be set from 0 to 15 minutes or left in continuous mode for extended runs, offering flexibility for short‑term assays and long‑duration incubations alike.

Designed with a compact footprint of 13 × 13 × 6 in and a net weight of only 7 lb, the shaker fits comfortably on most benchtops while still supporting a maximum load of 2 kg (4 lb). The power supply operates on standard 110 V mains, making it compatible with typical laboratory electrical infrastructure. Temperature tolerance from 4 °C to 50 °C and humidity resistance up to 80 % ensure reliable performance across a broad range of environmental conditions.

Every component of the Orbital Shaker has been selected to meet rigorous quality standards. The motor is a brushless DC type that delivers smooth, low‑noise operation, while the control knob provides tactile feedback for precise speed adjustments. The unit complies with relevant safety certifications, giving users confidence that the equipment will perform safely and consistently over its expected service life.

Usage

This shaker is ideally suited for academic research labs, clinical diagnostics facilities, and industrial quality‑control settings where reproducible orbital motion is essential. Typical applications include immunohistochemistry staining, gel electrophoresis buffer mixing, enzyme reaction incubation, and cell culture plate agitation. Its quiet operation allows it to be placed in shared laboratory spaces without disrupting neighboring workstations.

Because the device can operate at low speeds, it is also appropriate for delicate procedures such as antibody incubation on tissue sections, where excessive motion could damage the sample. Conversely, higher speeds enable rapid homogenization of viscous solutions, making the shaker a versatile tool for both gentle and vigorous mixing tasks. The built‑in timer simplifies workflow by eliminating the need for external timing devices, and the anti‑slip platform ensures that containers remain securely positioned throughout the run.

Researchers working with temperature‑sensitive reagents will appreciate the shaker’s ability to function reliably within a 4 °C to 50 °C range, allowing it to be placed inside incubators or refrigerated cabinets when needed. The compact size also makes it easy to store when not in use, freeing valuable bench space for other equipment.

FAQ

What types of containers can I place on the shaker platform?

The 12 × 8.5 in platform is compatible with standard laboratory trays, petri dishes, multi‑well plates (up to 96 wells), and small beakers. The anti‑slip silicone pad helps keep containers stable during operation, preventing movement or spillage.

Can the shaker be used inside an incubator or refrigerator?

Yes. The unit is rated for operation within a temperature range of 4 °C to 50 °C, making it suitable for placement inside incubators, refrigerated cabinets, or other temperature‑controlled environments. Ensure that the power source is accessible and that ventilation requirements are met.

How do I set the timer for continuous operation?

To run the shaker continuously, rotate the timer knob to the “0” position. This disables the timing function, allowing the motor to run indefinitely until you manually stop it using the power switch. For timed runs, select any value between 0 and 15 minutes.

What is the maximum load the platform can support?

The platform can safely hold up to 2 kg (4 lb) of material. This limit ensures that the motor operates within its design specifications and helps maintain consistent orbital motion without over‑loading the device.

Is there a warranty or service plan available?

All Orbital Shakers come with a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Our technical support team is available to assist with troubleshooting, and we offer optional extended service plans for organizations that require longer coverage.
