Orbital shakers are used in different situations when cultivating cells. The main purpose is to improve aeration of the culture. Similar to centrifuges, the settings have quite an impact on the performance...
Mixing 50, 100, or even 1,000 mL is a simple process. Due to the available volume you can easily create a vortex within your vessel, resulting in very well mixed samples. Low volume mixing is different.
Viscous liquids such as glycerol or polyethylene glycol (PEG) are often used as a nonaqueous solvent for drugs, vaccines or dyes or serve as antifreeze and stabilizing agents in protein solutions.
Shake cultures are grown in special vessels, also known as Erlenmeyer flasks. In contrast to other lab vessels, shake flasks have a characteristic shape to allow a good shaking performance without spilling liquid. Learn more about differences in design and material and its influence on aeration.
How to optimize your shake flask and bioreactor cultures
The Eppendorf MixMate can mix and vortex samples. Dedicated exchangeable tubeholders for different vessel formats provide flexibility.
The Eppendorf ThermoMixer C can heat, cool, and mix samples for incubation steps. Dedicated exchangeable SmartBlocks for different vessel formats provide flexibility.
SmartBlocks are sensor-controlled thermoblocks for ThermoMixer C and ThermoStat C. Easy to change and available in different formats.
