Overview
AELAB SK-L180-Pro and SK-L180-S Linear Decolorizing Shakers are advanced laboratory mixing instruments engineered for precise, uniform linear motion. Designed for culture dishes, flasks, and beakers, these models deliver reliable, efficient mixing suitable for extraction, aeration, and incubation environments—including CO₂ incubators and environmental chambers.
The AELAB SK-L180 Series operates through a precision-controlled linear shaking mechanism, generating consistent horizontal motion. This ensures uniform sample mixing, ideal for decolorization, staining, aeration, extraction, and cell culture applications. A high-performance brushless DC motor drives the platform smoothly while maintaining stable speed, even under varying load conditions.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AELAB SK-L180 Series features a durable platform structure engineered for continuous-duty laboratory operation. Both SK-L180-Pro and SK-L180-S incorporate maintenance-free Brushless DC motors, ensuring stable torque delivery and extended service life. The compact footprint and rigid housing provide vibration control for precise linear motion. SK-L180-Pro includes LCD displays for speed and time, while SK-L180-S uses an LED interface for simplified operation.
🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
The system generates controlled 4mm (SK-L180-Pro) or 20mm (SK-L180-S) linear amplitude through a high-precision drive assembly. The motor regulates horizontal movement at set speeds, maintaining consistent agitation suitable for staining, decolorizing, extraction, and culture mixing. Integrated timers allow long-duration workflows up to 99h59min, and digital feedback ensures accurate speed regulation throughout the run.
