Benchmark Orbi-Shaker™ Series

The Orbi-Shaker™ Series by Benchmark Scientific offers reliable and efficient orbital shaking for a wide range of laboratory applications. With digital speed control and variable speed options, these shakers are ideal for mixing and aerating samples in flasks, microplates, test tubes, and more. Each model in the Orbi-Shaker™ series features a unique shaking orbit and is designed to cater to different sample sizes and throughput requirements.

Key Features:

1. Orbital Shaking Motion: The Orbi-Shaker™ units utilize precisely controlled, circular (orbital) motion, ensuring even mixing for a variety of samples. The shakers can accommodate different vessels like Erlenmeyer flasks, microplates, and test tubes.

2. Multiple Models for Different Needs:

   • Orbi-Shaker JR: Ideal for small sample sizes and compact spaces, this model features a 19 mm orbital motion and can accommodate up to 12 x 50 ml flasks. With digital speed control from 50 to 300 rpm, it's perfect for general mixing tasks.
   • Orbi-Shaker: With a 19 mm orbital motion and capacity to hold up to 14 x 250 ml flasks or 9 x 500 ml flasks, this model is suited for mid-to-high-volume laboratory applications.
   • Orbi-Shaker MP: Specifically designed for mixing microplates, the 3 mm orbital motion can handle up to 4 microplates, and the speed ranges from 200 to 1500 rpm, making it ideal for high-speed mixing in well plates.
   • Orbi-Blotter: A low-speed orbital shaker designed for gentle mixing of gels and blots, with a speed range of 3 to 70 rpm. Ideal for sensitive applications, it features a large 14x12 in platform that can hold various flat-bottomed vessels.

3. Digital Control: All models feature digital speed control, providing easy adjustments for precise control over mixing speed. The models with digital controls allow users to adjust and monitor the speed for optimized sample mixing.

4. MAGic Clamp™ Platform: The Orbi-Shaker models include MAGic Clamp™ platforms, which secure flasks and tubes without the need for additional clamps. This innovative attachment method allows easy changes between flasks of different sizes.

5. Compact and Durable Design: The units are designed to fit in compact spaces, with a solid, sturdy platform to securely hold your samples during operation.
