Reciprocal Shakers

Explore a range of laboratory reciprocal shakers designed to provide controlled back-and-forth agitation for mixing, extraction, washing, incubation and sample preparation.

Reciprocal shakers move the platform in a horizontal back-and-forth motion, providing a different form of agitation from orbital and rotary shakers. The reciprocating movement is suitable for applications requiring consistent and controlled contact between the sample and surrounding liquid or medium.

Reciprocal shakers are commonly used for sample extraction, washing procedures, staining, dissolution, mixing, microbiological applications, tissue processing and general laboratory sample preparation. They can accommodate a variety of vessels, depending on the platform, tray or clamp configuration.

Depending on the model, features may include variable speed control, adjustable shaking stroke, digital display, programmable timer, continuous operation, interchangeable platforms, clamps and vessel holders.

Suitable for research and development laboratories, microbiology laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, biotechnology laboratories, food and beverage testing, educational institutions and industrial quality control laboratories, reciprocal shakers provide controlled and repeatable horizontal agitation.

When selecting a reciprocal shaker, consider the shaking speed, stroke length, platform dimensions, maximum load, vessel compatibility, operating time, attachment options and intended application.
