Orbital Shakers
Orbital shakers are essential laboratory instruments designed to provide consistent and reproducible sample mixing across life science, clinical, biotechnology and industrial applications. Whether supporting cell culture growth, microplate processing, protein expression studies or routine laboratory workflows, orbital shakers deliver controlled agitation to improve sample homogeneity and experimental consistency.
The Fisher Scientific Channel offers a wide range of orbital shakers, including compact benchtop units, microplate thermoshakers, incubated shakers, refrigerated shakers and CO2-resistant systems from the leading Thermo Scientific, Grand Instruments, IKA, Eppendorf, Ohaus, Fisherbrand, Corning and Heathrow Scientific brands. With solutions ranging from light-duty laboratory mixing to high-capacity incubation and cell culture applications, users can select equipment tailored to their throughput, temperature control and vessel requirements.

FAQ
Orbital shakers provide circular motion to mix liquids, cultures and samples uniformly. They are commonly used in microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology and cell culture laboratories to improve reproducibility and sample consistency.
Selection depends on vessel type, load capacity, speed range, orbit size and temperature requirements. The Thermo Scientific, Grant Instruments and IKA brands offer models ranging from compact benchtop units to incubated and refrigerated systems.
Cell culture workflows often require incubated or CO2-resistant orbital shakers. Thermo Scientific™ MaxQ™ Shaker and Solaris platforms are designed to support sensitive cell growth and culture maintenance applications.
Orbital shakers are used in academic research, pharmaceutical development, biotechnology laboratories, clinical testing facilities and industrial quality control environments.
Orbital motion provides gentle, consistent mixing that improves oxygen transfer, reduces sample settling and supports reproducible experimental conditions across multiple vessel formats.
