Boekel Scientific Orbitron V 281111 Nutating Shaker

Boekel Scientific Orbitron V 281111 Nutating Shaker

The Boekel Scientific Orbitron V 281111 is a laboratory platform rotator that produces a controlled three-dimensional gyrating motion for sample mixing. Manufacturer literature describes the Orbitron V as a shaker with variable speed, adjustable mixing angle, built-in timing, and a platform designed for laboratory vessels. The 281111 version is identified for 115 VAC operation, making the model number important when matching the shaker to an installation or laboratory power environment.

Key Features

• Orbitron V model 281111.
• Three-dimensional gyrating motion for gentle to vigorous mixing.
• Variable speed control and adjustable platform tilt.
• Built-in timer for timed mixing cycles.

Applications

Mixing and agitation of laboratory vessels, biological samples, staining procedures, molecular biology preparations, and general benchtop sample-processing workflows. The adjustable motion allows users to select a mixing style appropriate to the material and vessel arrangement without relying on a fixed agitation pattern.

Workflow Context

In a laboratory workflow, the Orbitron V can be positioned on a benchtop before sample incubation, staining, extraction, or other procedures that benefit from continuous or timed agitation. The manufacturer specifies a variable orbit rate and tilt angle, while the actual load, vessel arrangement, and operating conditions should be selected according to the laboratory procedure.

Additional Benefits

• Local pickup available in Houston, Texas.
• Free shipping on select products within the USA.
• International shipping via FedEx available upon request.
