Orbital Shaker/Open Air Type Shaker is a device used to stir, mix and homogenize liquids. Mixing solutions is one of the most common tasks in laboratories, which is why agitators are applied in many types of industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, clinical analysis, molecular biology, biotechnology, wastewater treatment, and many others. The purpose of the open-air type orbital shaker is always the same, it is a very simple task, but there are several forms of execution.
Orbital Shaker and Laboratory Needs
To define which is the best orbital shaker for your laboratory, one must take into account which meets your needs, evaluating the application to your process, container capacity, mixing speed, speed variability, liquid viscosity, execution time, and temperature, among others.
The diversity of the orbital shaker is enormous, so, like other equipment in your laboratory, you must evaluate not only the procedure to be performed but also the nature of the sample (such as size, type, and volume) needs to be considered. Using a high-speed stirrer to prepare a blood sample can alter the characteristics needed to perform the test and cause erroneous results.

- Ideal for use in microbiology, chemistry, immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology laboratories, etc.
Main Types of Orbital & Related Shakers
In addition to different types of shakers, open-air type shakers can vary in size and have several platforms to receive different types of containers, such as microtubes, tubes, plates, and flasks.
Some equipment combines agitation and heating, consisting of a thermal plate for heat exchange for mixtures that need to be diluted at higher temperatures. There is also the magnetic stirrer that homogenizes solutions through a small magnetic bar moved by a rotating magnetic field.
The speed of this equipment allows from a gentle to more vigorous agitation and the functions still present several alternatives, continuous or timed use, display options, audible warning, etc.
Orbital Shaker: It is the most common type and creates a horizontal circular agitation movement, with smooth and continuous movement for uniform mixing. Generally used for cell culture and syphilis tests.
Seesaw Shaker: They can perform a swing also called the seesaw movement.
Reciprocal Shaker: Equipment with linear agitation and alternating back-and-forth movement.
Roller Shaker: Formed by several rollers that provide rotation movements, generally used for tubes. These are placed on the rollers and the liquid slides over the wall of the container, performing homogenization.
Rotor Shaker: Also called "Ferris wheels", they rotate on an axis and work similarly to centrifuges, although they do not reach the same speed. Ideal for homogenizing collection and centrifuge tubes.
3D Shaker: The three-dimensional model performs several types of movements in a single device.
Vortex Shaker: Also widely used, generally for shaking small flasks and microtubes. The flask is shaken together with the platform and can be a continuous movement or only when pressed on the rubber, producing vortices in the liquid.
Magnetic Shaker: It consists of a metal plate, the container containing the liquid is placed on the plate with a small magnetic bar inside, covered with an inert plastic so as not to interact with the solution. A motor under the plate produces magnetic forces by rotating the magnet and causing circular motion in the liquid. The magnetic stirrer also has heated versions, performing both tasks simultaneously.
Note: the shaker types above (seesaw, reciprocal, roller, rotor, 3D, vortex, magnetic) are included as general lab-reference background — Yatherm Scientific's product line covered on this page is the orbital shaker itself (KAKSH-50A/100A/200A flask-capacity range and KAKSH-S15/S35 analog range). If you also manufacture or want to list any of the other shaker types separately, they'd read better as their own product pages rather than folded into this one.
Yatherm Scientific orbital shaker/open-air type shaker is a general-purpose stirrer with microprocessor control, perfect for basic mixing applications, transfer techniques, staining, and bleaching. Variable speed control provides constant, even agitation. The speed is adjusted using a button with several settings; the ramp function slowly increases the speed to the selected value for greater safety.

Frequently Asked Questions: Orbital Shakers
What is an orbital shaker used for?
An orbital shaker stirs, mixes, and homogenizes liquids using a smooth, continuous horizontal circular motion. It's used across food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, clinical analysis, molecular biology, biotechnology, and wastewater treatment labs — anywhere solutions need consistent, even agitation rather than violent mixing.
How is an orbital shaker different from a vortex, roller, or magnetic shaker?
An orbital shaker moves the whole platform in a circular path, which suits flasks and multi-container batches. A vortex shaker agitates one small flask or microtube at a time. A roller shaker rotates tubes over rollers rather than shaking them. A magnetic shaker uses a spinning magnetic bar inside the container instead of moving the container at all. Each suits a different sample format and volume, so the right choice depends on your container type and required agitation intensity.
What flask capacities do the KAKSH-50A, 100A, and 200A models support?
Capacity scales with model size: the 50A handles smaller flask counts (up to 12 x 100ml or 6 x 250ml), the 100A extends to larger volumes including 2000ml flasks, and the 200A offers the highest per-batch flask count across every size from 50ml through 2000ml. The full breakdown is in the specifications table below.
What is the difference between the KAKSH-50A/100A/200A range and the KAKSH-S15/S35 models?
The 50A/100A/200A range is built around flask capacity per batch — the numbers in the model name track this. The S15 and S35 are a separate analog shaker line specified by maximum load (15 lbs vs 35 lbs) rather than flask count, with a wider RPM range on the S35 (25-500 RPM) versus the S15 (30-250 RPM). Choose based on whether your work is defined by flask count per run or by total sample load and speed range.
What speed range does this orbital shaker offer?
Speed is adjustable from 25 to 500 RPM depending on model, with a ramp function that increases speed gradually to the selected value rather than jumping straight to full speed, which protects samples and glassware at startup.
Are these shakers certified for lab use?
The KAKSH-S15 and S35 models carry CE and ISO certification, which is worth checking against your facility's procurement or import requirements before ordering.
How is the orbital shaker packaged for shipping?
Standard packaging is a wooden case, with corrugated paper and plywood case options available depending on the model and shipping requirement — check the packaging table below for weight and dimensions per model.
