Shakers are simply indispensable in research laboratories - whether to prepare or stain samples for analysis, to cultivate cells and microorganisms, or to prevent sedimentation of solids. Solid-liquid or liquid-liquid extractions, as well as tests for quality control are carried out with laboratory shakers.

In order to cover this enormous range of requirements, we at Heidolph offer a wide selection of high-quality laboratory shakers with different types of motions. From vortexers with their powerful circular vibrating shaking movement to orbital and reciprocating shakers to rocking, wave and overhead shakers, you are guaranteed to find the right device for your application with us.

A range of accessories is also available for shaking vessels of different sizes and heights, such as multi-well plates (model Titramax), Erlenmeyer flasks (model Unimax), separatory funnels (model Promax), etc.

For the heat control of samples, our Incubator 1000, consisting of a heating module and a heating hood that can be selected from three models, can be easily combined with all Heidolph shakers of the 1000 series.

With the platform shakers of the Hei-SHAKE series, you have numerous possible applications through different types of movement, load weights, and a wide range of accessories for shaking and mixing.
You will find the following movement types in our portfolio:

• Orbital shaker: The circular movement of these shakers creates ideal conditions for keeping cell and bacterial cultures in motion, for example. In conjunction with our Incubator 1000, the shakers of the 1000 series can be quickly converted into an incubation shaker.
• Vibration shaker: Due to the small orbit and the high number of revolutions at the same time, stubborn solids in media can be dissolved properly.
• Tumbling shakers: Due to this gentle movement, these shakers are often used in blotting procedures. Particularly during the staining phase, the membranes are gently rinsed and the bands are properly stained.
• Rocking shaker: The rocking motion can be used for processes that require more agitation. These include, for example, histone modification or processing steps during gene expression.
• Reciprocal shaker: The strong back-and-forth movement is mainly used in liquid-liquid extraction. Extractions that require long processing times can be carried out in conjunction with the clamps for separating funnels.

In conjunction with the right accessories, you are able to have a reliable platform shaker that meets the highest requirements and, thanks to its robust design and intuitive operation, meets the day-to-day demands in the laboratory.

	The compact one with a maximum loading capacity of 2 kg Space-saving and with a load weight of up to 2 kg, this shaker can perfectly master all applications. The variably adjustable speed control (20-300 rpm) and the orbit of 20 mm guarantee homogeneous distribution. Your applications can be carried out in continuous operation or by means of a timer (max. 120 minutes).	This shaker can be integrated into the modular incubation system, and it is therefore ideal for all temperature-controlled shaking tasks. By means of the integrated RS 232 interface and in conjunction with the software Hei-PROCESS, processes can be realized semi-automatically. In addition, it is possible to operate several shakers of this size in one climate chamber. With a speed of 30-500 rpm and an orbit of 10 mm, samples are optimally kept in motion. Time-dependent applications can be performed without any problems by using a timer (max. 99 h 99 min 99 S). In addition, the automatic restart (e.g. after a power failures) can be regulated by means of a button.	The resilient one with a maximum loading capacity of 10 kg The Unimax 2010 is the optimal model for increased sample throughput. With a usable area of 390 x 340 mm and the possibility of a multi-story structure, space is used effectively. The orbit of 20 mm and speeds between 20 and 400 rpm guarantee gentle mixing of all samples. This shaker can be operated either continuously or with an integrated timer (max. 120 min).
