Shaking Water Bath

A shaking water bath is a laboratory instrument that combines the functions of a water bath and a mechanical shaker. It provides a controlled temperature environment with simultaneous sample agitation, making it ideal for a variety of applications such as sample mixing, incubation, extraction, or enzyme reactions. The combination of precise temperature control and shaking motion allows for efficient and uniform heat transfer throughout the samples.

The primary purpose of a shaking water bath is to provide consistent and controlled conditions for samples that require both temperature control and agitation. The instrument typically consists of a temperature-controlled water bath and a platform or rack system that holds the sample containers. The platform is equipped with an oscillating mechanism or shaker that imparts a back-and-forth shaking motion to the samples.

Shaking water baths offer several advantages for laboratory applications:

• Temperature Control
• Simultaneous Shaking and Heating
• Adjustable Shaking Speed and Amplitude
• Programmable Operation
• Versatile Sample Capacity
• User-Friendly Interface
• Easy Maintenance

Shaking water baths find applications in various fields, including molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and analytical chemistry. They are widely used for sample preparation, enzyme reactions, DNA hybridization, cell culture, solubility studies, and other temperature-sensitive processes. The combination of precise temperature control and simultaneous sample agitation makes shaking water baths versatile and essential tools in many laboratory settings.
