Shakers

Laboratory stirrers are electromechanical devices that are commonly used in laboratories to homogeneously mix solutions and suspensions. These are generally 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 equipments are used in the elaboration of chemical products, cosmetics, food, coatings, among others. They are equipment that easily adapt to small spaces and are easy to move from one place to another.

These devices can be used in the production of chemicals, cosmetics, food, coatings among others. In research, development, clinical research and education laboratories, the shaker is essential equipment, easily adapting to 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. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the first automated laboratory shakers began to facilitate this task to the laboratory team, thus being able to achieve a prolonged and controlled shaking.
