The Orbit LS Low Speed Lab Shaker has been designed by Labnet as a general purpose laboratory shaker. It features an economical analog control which has easy to turn knobs. The streamlined device has a 19 mm orbit for blotting, general mixing and gel staining. The low speed of the device combined with its large orbit make it ideal for washing blots, general mixing, and staining and destaining gels. The compact Orbit LS Low Speed Lab Shaker has electronic controls which are used to set the speed and time. A 30 x 30 cm stainless steel flat platform and a non-slip rubber mat are supplied with the Orbit LS Low Speed Lab Shaker. These ensure that plates, dishes and other sample containers are all kept in place.
