Test Tube Shakers & Rotators

Ambient temperature shakers are perfect for cell culturing and provide consistent shaking without applying heat or cold. Shakers can be manual or automated, with some models featuring programmable controls, and some have digital displays for more precise shaking conditions. Test tube shakers are available in various sizes and capacities, ranging from small benchtop units to larger models for small and large applications. Typical applications include producing antibodies, protein expression, and DNA extraction and purification. At Thomas Scientific, we have a range of shaker styles available such as large orbital shakers, incubator shaker, CO2 shakers, and the Vortex Genie 2. They can be manual or automated, with some models featuring programmable controls and digital displays for more precise and reproducible shaking conditions. Thomas Scientific also offers a variety of other shakers depending on your lab needs

What is a tube rotator used for?

Tube rotators gently and continuously mix samples in laboratory tubes, thoroughly blending liquids, suspensions, or reagents. Their motion prevents sedimentation without causing damage, making them particularly useful for sensitive samples such as blood or cell suspensions.
