Laboratory shakers are electromechanical devices that are commonly used in specialized chemistry and/or biology laboratories to homogeneously mix solutions and suspensions for tests and trials.
The average agitators are made up of a plate, which moves propelled by an electric motor. The sample to be mixed is introduced into a container, which can be a beaker, tube or flask, which is positioned on a vibrating surface.
These devices can be used in the production of chemical products, cosmetics, food, coatings, among others. In research, development, clinical research and education laboratories, the shaker is essential equipment, easily fitting into small spaces and also easy to move from one location to another. Before the automated shaker, scientists had to perform this process manually, in order to create chemical reactions and other processes.
