A laboratory shaker is an important piece of laboratory equipment with multiple functions and a wide range of applications. Its main roles include:
(1) Mixing and cultivation. By vibrating or shaking, the shaker mixes the liquid or culture medium in the container to promote the uniform growth and propagation of cells, bacteria or other microorganisms.
(2) Control of environmental conditions. Shakers usually have a temperature control system that maintains a constant temperature, simulating the in vivo environment and providing ideal conditions for biological experiments.
(3) Improve experimental efficiency and accuracy. By increasing the supply of oxygen and mixing cultures, shakers help to increase the growth rate of cells and the homogeneity of cultures, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of experiments.
(4) Applicable to a wide range of experiments and research. Shaking table has a wide range of applications in many fields such as biology, medicine, pharmacy, molecular science, genetics, environmental protection, etc. It is especially suitable for experiments with high requirements on temperature and oscillation frequency, such as cell culture, enzyme reaction, PCR, hybridization and fermentation.
(5) Promote scientific research. By precisely controlling the motion mode (such as linear, circular vibration, etc.) and vibration parameters (such as frequency, amplitude, etc.) of the shaker, researchers can simulate the conditions in different physiological states to study cell growth, differentiation and function, thus improving the reliability and repeatability of experiments.
To summarize, laboratory shaker is an indispensable tool in modern scientific research work, which is of great significance to improve the quality and efficiency of experiments.
