This shaker provides ease of use features, amazing comfort and maximum safety. Exchangeable adapter plates enable a perfect adaptation to tubes or glass vials. Fully adjustable up to 3,000 rpm, well beyond the speeds of most other brands, guarantees fast, reliable mixing for vials. 

Small. Light. Efficient. Quiet.
  • Ideal for vials and tubes
  • For weight of more than 200 g
  • Optimized mass balance elements
  • Fast mixing from 200 up to 3,000 rpm
  • 2.0 mm mixing orbit
  • Perfected adapters
  • Sensored zero-position
  • All parts indside
  • Easy installation & simple start-up

Recommended mixing speeds

The adjustment of the optimal mixing frequency in depending on filling volume per well should always be made in dependence on the size of the well and the filling volume. 

Only in this way optimum results can be achieved with in shortest process time with a high reproducibility.
