MRC Labs 2D-300 and 2D-400 Dual Motion Shakers allow users to configure the tray for either smooth and powerful orbital motion or reciprocating motion at low speeds.  These shakers can provide more versatile mixing than standard single-motion shakers. 

Applications

• Cell Culturing and Growth, bacteria, yeast, algae, or mammalian cells.

• Protein and Enzyme Reactions in biochemical applications: Protein expression or enzyme reactions, where the gentle agitation maintains the integrity of proteins and enzymes while promoting reaction efficiency.

• Sample Extraction and Extraction Processes: For experiments involving the extraction of compounds from solids (e.g., soil, plant tissue),

• Suspensions and Homogenization: It is often used in processes where particles (e.g., powders, cells, or microorganisms) need to be suspended in a liquid. The combination of motion types enhances the dispersion and prevents clumping of particles in the liquid medium.

• Organic chemistry or synthesis: improve mixing during reactions, promoting uniform distribution of reactants, reagents, or catalysts, which can lead to more consistent yields in chemical synthesis.

• Protein Purification and Chromatography: The shaker can be used to mix and agitate solutions during purification steps, such as protein separation or chromatography, where gentle yet consistent agitation is essential for maintaining sample integrity.

• Tissue Cultures: Similar to cell culturing, but more specifically in the context of tissue engineering, selectable shaker motion can ensure proper distribution of nutrients and gases for optimal tissue growth.

• Microbial and Biochemical Studies: In microbiology labs, selection of shaker motion is useful for studies of microbial fermentation, where microbial cultures need constant and efficient aeration and mixing.

• Staining and Washing in Histology: For biological samples, particularly when preparing slides or working with histological stains, the digital shaker provides a consistent movement that can ensure even washing and staining of samples.

• Pharmaceutical and Clinical Testing: For drug formulation or clinical testing, digital control shakers provide precise and uniform mixing to ensure the consistency of test solutions.
