Overview
The AELAB SK-0180-S and SK-0330-M Orbital Decolorizing Shaker Series is engineered to deliver smooth, uniform orbital motion for a wide range of laboratory mixing and decolorizing applications. With a compact footprint, brushless DC motor, dual-display interface, and high-precision speed control, this series provides reliable shaking performance for microbiology, molecular biology, and general laboratory workflows.
These AELAB orbital shakers operate using a precisely controlled orbital motion driven by a maintenance-free brushless DC motor. The system ensures repeatable, uniform agitation across sample vessels, enabling both time-controlled and continuous shaking modes. Integrated overspeed protection enhances operational safety and long-term reliability.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AELAB SK-0180-S & SK-0330-M feature rigid platforms, brushless DC drive systems, and LED or LCD display modules for real-time monitoring of speed and time. The compact housings minimize bench space while supporting multiple vessel formats including Petri dishes, microplates, culture flasks, centrifuge tubes, and specialized decolorizing trays. Each unit maintains stable motion with low vibration, ensuring uniform sample exposure during staining, destaining, washing, or extraction processes.
🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
Both models generate circular orbital motion at defined amplitudes—20mm for the SK-0180-S and 10mm for the SK-0330-M. The platform transmits consistent kinetic energy to sample containers, promoting efficient mixing, cell suspension, solubility enhancement, and reagent distribution. Operators can configure speed and timing via digital controls, enabling long-duration runs up to 99h59min. The brushless motor system ensures smooth acceleration, overload protection, and stable speed regulation.
