It’s Purpose:

The Life Science Stovall ‘The Belly Dancer’ BDRAA115S Orbital Platform Shaker is a specialized laboratory equipment designed to provide an oscillating motion to a variety of samples such as cell cultures, bacterial cultures, and suspensions, in order to facilitate mixing, aeration, and chemical reactions.

The purpose of this platform shaker is to provide a uniform and consistent shaking action that allows for the efficient mixing of samples, as well as to maintain cells and microorganisms in suspension during experimental procedures. The shaking motion of the Belly Dancer enables researchers to carry out applications such as staining, hybridization, cell growth, protein expression, and other biochemical reactions that require a homogenous mixing of samples.

Acme’s Summary:

The Belly Dancer features a large shaking platform and adjustable speed controls that allow researchers to select the appropriate shaking speed, angle, and duration for their specific application. The platform also has a non-slip surface and is equipped with a timer that can be programmed to automatically turn off the shaker after a certain amount of time.

Overall, the purpose of the Life Science Stovall ‘The Belly Dancer’ BDRAA115S Orbital Platform Shaker is to provide researchers with a versatile, reliable, and easy-to-use platform for a variety of shaking applications in life science research.
