Ratek OM6, OM7, OM8 and the EOM5 Orbital Shaker Descriptions
Applications for Orbital Shakers
Applications encompass general mixing procedures, cell culture maintenance, solubility analysis, diagnostic assays, bacterial suspension preparation, extraction protocols, staining and de-staining processes, washing techniques, and numerous other biological and chemical laboratory tasks.
Ratek OM6 Medium Digital Orbital Shaker Description:
The Ratek OM6 Digital Orbital Shaker delivers precise performance for diverse mixing applications including medical diagnostics, hematology, and sample preparation through its advanced digital control system. Operating across a speed range of 30-400 RPM, the unit features an intuitive front panel interface with a large LED display that simultaneously shows both set and actual speeds for accurate monitoring. The microprocessor-controlled system incorporates slow acceleration technology to minimize spillage risk during startup, while the comprehensive timer function can be programmed from 0-99 in either minutes or hours to accommodate various protocol requirements. Three memory buttons provide convenient storage of frequently used time and speed combinations, ensuring consistent reproducibility across repeated experiments.
Built for reliability and safety, the OM6 features super-quiet operation that enables extended unattended use without laboratory disruption, supported by a robust 8kg maximum capacity for substantial sample loads. The motion interrupt safety feature provides additional protection during operation, while the included non-slip nitrile mat secures containers effectively during low-speed applications. For higher-speed operations, optional accessories such as the RR5 Universal rack expand the unit's versatility with adjustable rubber-covered horizontal bars that accommodate various container types including test tube racks, trays, and flasks. This combination of digital precision, safety features, and accessory compatibility makes the OM6 an ideal solution for laboratories requiring dependable orbital shaking performance with advanced control capabilities.
