Orbital Shaker ONiLAB 40-200 RPM, 2kg Capacity, Replaceable Platform

Description

Product Overview

The ONiLAB orbital shaker is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern research laboratories, teaching facilities, and quality control environments. Constructed from high‑strength ABS plastic, the shaker housing resists corrosion, chemical exposure, and the wear of daily use, ensuring a long service life. Inside, a maintenance‑free brushless DC motor delivers a smooth, vibration‑free motion across a speed range of 40 to 200 RPM, allowing users to fine‑tune agitation for delicate cell cultures or vigorous solution mixing.

One of the standout design elements is the replaceable platform measuring 240 × 215 mm (9.4″ × 8.5″). The platform can be swapped without tools, enabling rapid adaptation to different container sizes, from small microcentrifuge tubes to larger beakers. Optional platforms are available for specialized applications, such as petri dishes, flasks, or custom trays, extending the shaker’s versatility across a broad spectrum of experimental protocols.

The user interface features an independent LED digital display that clearly shows both speed and timer settings. The timer can be programmed from a minimum of 1 minute up to a maximum of 99 hours 59 minutes, or set to continuous mode for indefinite operation. Over‑speed detection and automatic shut‑off protect the device and samples from accidental overspeed, while a non‑slip rubber mat on the working platform and a foot mat on the base provide stability during extended runs.

Dimensions of the unit are compact at 18 × 17.6 × 8.7 inches, weighing only 11.4 lb, making it easy to place on benchtops, inside incubators, or on mobile carts. The shaker is compatible with standard laboratory power supplies (110‑120 V, 50/60 Hz) and includes a built‑in safety interlock that prevents operation when the platform is removed, further enhancing user safety.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of laboratory activities, the ONiLAB orbital shaker excels in applications such as cell culture incubation, enzyme reactions, solubility testing, and sample homogenization. Its gentle orbital motion mimics the natural rocking of a tide, which is ideal for maintaining cell viability while ensuring thorough mixing of media and reagents. In teaching labs, the clear digital display and intuitive controls allow students to quickly set up experiments, fostering hands‑on learning without the need for extensive training.

Because the shaker can operate continuously for up to 99 hours 59 minutes, it is well‑suited for long‑duration protocols, such as overnight incubations or multi‑day kinetic studies. The replaceable platform accommodates a variety of container formats, enabling researchers to run multiple sample types simultaneously without compromising performance. The low noise level, typically below 45 dB, ensures that the shaker can be placed in shared spaces without disrupting other work.

In quality‑control settings, the precise speed control and timer accuracy support reproducible testing of product stability, viscosity, and particle dispersion. The device’s robust construction and safety features meet the stringent standards of regulated environments, making it a reliable choice for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food‑science laboratories.

FAQ

What types of containers can I use on the shaker?

The standard platform fits containers up to 240 mm in length and 215 mm in width, including microcentrifuge tubes, petri dishes, flasks, and small beakers. Additional platforms are available for larger or uniquely shaped containers.

Is the shaker safe to operate unattended?

Yes. The device includes overspeed detection, an automatic shut‑off feature, and a safety interlock that prevents operation when the platform is removed. The timer can be set for long runs, and the unit will stop automatically when the programmed time expires.

How do I clean the shaker?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The platform can be removed for thorough cleaning; it is compatible with standard laboratory disinfectants. Avoid submerging the motor housing or electronic components.

Can I use the shaker inside an incubator?

Yes. The compact size and low heat generation make it suitable for placement inside most incubators, provided there is adequate ventilation and the incubator’s temperature does not exceed the shaker’s operating limits.

What is covered under the one‑year warranty?

The warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship, including motor failure, electronic display issues, and structural problems. Labor and replacement parts are included, and support is provided through our dedicated service team.
