The laboratory shaker is an automated instrument dedicated to agitating samples in flasks, tubes, and plates. Offered in benchtop and floor-standing formats, it performs this function through defined motions, primarily orbital shaking. This controlled agitation is critical for homogenizing mixtures, ensuring proper aeration for cell growth, and preventing component stratification. As such, it is a cornerstone instrument for ensuring uniform treatment of samples in research and quality control labs.

Its operation is based on the precise application of mechanical motion. This provides a consistent alternative to manual mixing. Device types are differentiated by their motion profile and added functionalities: basic orbital shakers, gentle-motion rockers, and comprehensive incubator shakers. The advent of digital interfaces has brought precise control, with settings for RPM, time, and temperature being accurately displayed and maintained, which is crucial for sensitive biological or chemical processes.

The instrument's utility is evident in key applications. It is used for growing recombinant E. coli cultures for protein purification. It facilitates sample preparation for spectroscopy by ensuring complete dissolution. In immunology, it provides gentle agitation for cell-based assays. Salient characteristics often include a user-replaceable drive belt for easy maintenance, a clear and intuitive control panel, and a sturdy construction that can withstand the rigors of daily use in a busy laboratory.
