Orbital Shaker SURPEER Lab Slip Platform Speed

Description

Product Overview

The SURPEER orbital shaker is engineered for laboratory environments that demand reliable, uniform mixing of liquid samples. Measuring 12.4 by 8.58 inches, the anti‑slip platform provides a stable, non‑marking surface that can accommodate up to one kilogram of test tubes, microplates, or custom containers. Constructed from high‑impact ABS plastic and reinforced with silicone pads, the platform resists chemical exposure while maintaining a low‑profile design that fits comfortably on benchtops. The shaker’s orbital motion follows a 22 mm diameter path, delivering gentle yet thorough agitation that preserves delicate biological reagents and reduces shear forces.

Speed control spans from a complete stop to 210 revolutions per minute, allowing users to fine‑tune agitation intensity for protocols ranging from slow incubation to rapid emulsification. The integrated digital timer offers selectable intervals from one to fifteen minutes, as well as a continuous run mode for extended processes. Both speed and timer settings are adjusted via an intuitive LCD interface that displays real‑time values, eliminating guesswork and ensuring repeatable results across multiple experiments. Power consumption remains low, with a standard 110 V American plug that conforms to North American safety standards and provides consistent performance without overheating.

The compact footprint of the unit, weighing only 3.6 kilograms, makes it easy to relocate between workstations or transport to field sites where on‑site analysis is required. Its robust construction includes a reinforced chassis that dampens vibration, contributing to a quiet operating environment measured at less than 55 decibels, which is comparable to a normal conversation. This low noise level is especially valuable in shared laboratory spaces, teaching labs, and clinical settings where auditory distractions can interfere with precise observations. Additionally, the shaker’s firmware includes an automatic shut‑off after a period of inactivity, extending component lifespan and conserving energy.

Compliance with industry standards is reinforced by CE marking and adherence to ISO 13485 guidelines for medical device manufacturing, assuring users that the shaker meets rigorous quality and safety criteria. The device is supplied with a comprehensive user manual, a set of calibration tools, and a one‑year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Customer support is available through phone, email, and an online knowledge base, providing troubleshooting assistance and routine maintenance tips. Together, these features position the SURPEER orbital shaker as a dependable solution for research institutions, diagnostic laboratories, and educational facilities seeking consistent mixing performance.

Usage

In microbiology labs, the orbital shaker is frequently employed to keep bacterial cultures in suspension during incubation, ensuring uniform exposure to nutrients and temperature. The anti‑slip platform accommodates standard 15 mL conical tubes as well as 96‑well microplates, allowing simultaneous processing of multiple samples. Researchers can set the speed to a low 30 RPM for gentle agitation of fragile organisms, or increase to 180 RPM when rapid mixing of liquid media is required. The timer function enables precise control of incubation periods, reducing the need for manual monitoring and freeing up valuable bench time.

In clinical diagnostics, the shaker supports preparation of serological test cards, such as syphilis rapid tests, by providing consistent orbital motion that evenly distributes reagents across the card surface. The platform’s anti‑slip coating prevents movement of the cards during the critical incubation steps, improving assay reliability and reducing false‑negative results. Technicians can program a 10‑minute run at 120 RPM, after which the device automatically stops, ensuring that each batch follows the same protocol without operator variation.

Educational laboratories benefit from the shaker’s quiet operation and straightforward controls, making it an ideal teaching tool for demonstrating principles of fluid dynamics, diffusion, and reaction kinetics. Students can experiment with different speeds and timer settings to observe how mixing intensity influences reaction rates, fostering hands‑on learning and reinforcing theoretical concepts. Because the unit is lightweight and includes a standard 110 V plug, it can be easily integrated into classroom benches or portable lab kits for field demonstrations.

Biochemical research groups often require precise mixing for enzyme assays, protein crystallization, and emulsion reactions. The orbital shaker’s 22 mm orbital radius creates a gentle swirling motion that minimizes shear stress, preserving the activity of sensitive enzymes while still achieving thorough homogenization. By selecting a speed of 60 RPM and a timer of 5 minutes, scientists can standardize the incubation of substrate mixtures, leading to reproducible kinetic data across multiple experimental runs. The device’s ability to operate continuously for up to 24 hours without overheating further supports long‑term experiments that demand consistent agitation over extended periods.

Field‑based environmental testing teams appreciate the shaker’s portability and low power draw, allowing it to be powered by portable generators or battery packs when working in remote locations. The anti‑slip platform securely holds sample containers during vibration‑induced mixing of water quality assays, soil extract analyses, and microbial community studies. With its intuitive LCD panel, operators can quickly set the desired speed and timer without consulting a manual, streamlining workflow and reducing the potential for user error in challenging field conditions.

Overall, the shaker’s versatility across bench, classroom, and field environments makes it a valuable asset for any laboratory seeking reliable, low‑noise orbital mixing with precise speed and timing controls.

Why Choose Us

SURPEER’s commitment to quality is reflected in the rigorous testing each orbital shaker undergoes before leaving the factory. Components are inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and electrical safety, while the assembled unit is subjected to vibration, temperature cycling, and noise assessments to verify performance under real‑world laboratory conditions. This comprehensive validation process ensures that every shaker delivers consistent mixing results, reduces the risk of premature failure, and complies with international safety standards.

The design of the orbital shaker emphasizes user ergonomics and maintenance simplicity. The LCD control panel is positioned at an optimal angle for easy viewing, and the buttons are tactilely distinct, reducing the learning curve for new users.
