A wrist action shaker is a type of laboratory equipment commonly used for the gentle mixing or agitation of samples in various scientific and research applications. It is designed to create a circular or orbital motion using a rotary mechanism, simulating the action of a person’s wrist movement.
The wrist action shaker consists of a platform or tray where the sample containers, such as flasks or bottles, are placed. The platform is attached to a central rotating shaft, which is driven by a motor. The rotation of the shaft causes the platform to move in a circular or elliptical motion, gently shaking the samples.
The circular motion produced by the wrist action shaker is particularly useful for applications that require gentle mixing without excessive turbulence or shear forces. It is commonly used in fields such as microbiology, cell culture, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical research.
One of the key advantages of wrist action shakers is their versatility. They can accommodate a range of sample sizes and types, from small vials to large flasks, by using adjustable holders or clamps. Some models may also offer adjustable speed settings, allowing users to control the intensity of the shaking motion based on their specific needs.
Wrist-action shakers are often preferred for applications that involve delicate or sensitive samples, as the gentle orbital motion minimizes the risk of sample damage or foam formation. They are also suitable for mixing viscous liquids, performing extractions, or distributing suspensions evenly.
Safety features are commonly incorporated into wrist action shakers, such as secure clamping mechanisms and non-slip platforms to prevent accidental spills or mishaps. Some models may also include timers or programmable operations for automated shaking cycles.
In summary, a wrist action shaker is a laboratory instrument that uses circular or orbital motion to gently mix or agitate samples. Its versatility, gentle shaking action, and suitability for delicate samples make it a valuable tool in various scientific and research settings.
