Gentle agitation, continuous efficiency: the 3D Sunflower Mini Shaker from Biosan
The 3D Sunflower Mini Shaker developed by Biosan is an indispensable tool for modern laboratories looking for performance, compactness and reliability for delicate mixing applications. This shaker has been designed to meet the specific needs of multiple protocols requiring gentle, three-dimensional shaking. Among the most common applications are mixing blood samples, staining and destaining mini-gels, washing samples and hybridisation reactions on membranes.
The 3D Sunflower Mini Shaker stands out thanks to its direct drive mechanism combined with a brushless motor, guaranteeing stable and continuous performance for up to 168 hours without interruption. This motor minimises mechanical wear. Thanks to its technical design, it is perfectly suited for intensive use in molecular biology, haematology, biochemistry and clinical research laboratories.
Its shaking platform measures 215 x 215 mm, providing sufficient space to accommodate different types of containers. The non-slip, temperature-resistant silicone mat ensures excellent stability of the tubes during shaking. In addition, compatibility with the optional PDM mat, equipped with dimples, secures tubes of different sizes, preventing them from rolling during shaking, even at low speeds.
The fixed tilt angle of 7° and the adjustable speed between 5 and 60 rpm make this mini shaker extremely versatile, allowing the parameters to be adapted to each experimental protocol. It is extremely quiet and energy efficient, with a maximum power consumption of only 3.1 watts.
The Sunflower Mini Shaker can also be used in temperature-controlled conditions, such as cold rooms or incubators, thanks to its operating temperature range of +4°C to +40°C. This opens up possibilities for shaking in thermally sensitive environments, which is essential in certain experiments requiring strict thermal stability.
Compact (235 x 235 x 140 mm) and lightweight (1.2 kg), this shaker can be easily integrated into any bench top or cell culture space. The device is available with several electrical connection options (European, multinational plugs) to suit different international standards. It is also available with IQ/OQ and PQ documentation for environments subject to strict quality validation.
The Biosan 3D Sunflower Mini Shaker is an optimal choice for laboratories looking for a reliable, durable, three-dimensional shaker that is easy to integrate into various experimental environments and complies with modern analytical process requirements.
