iShak 3D-5 NXT Digital 3D Rocking Shaker
iShak 3D-5 NXT Digital 3D Rocking Shaker
Programmable three-dimensional tumbling action with a maximum load capacity of 5 kg
The iShak 3D-5 NXT is a versatile digital three-dimensional shaker designed for gentle and uniform mixing of laboratory samples. Its fixed 7° tumbling angle produces a smooth rocking and swirling movement, making it suitable for applications where more aggressive orbital shaking may damage delicate samples.
With a maximum load capacity of 5 kg, variable speed control, an extended timer and programmable run-pause-run operation, the iShak 3D-5 NXT provides excellent flexibility for research, clinical and general laboratory workflows.
The combined rocking and tumbling action continuously moves samples across the platform, promoting uniform mixing without the vigorous agitation produced by a conventional orbital shaker.

Smooth and Uniform Tumbling Action
The platform moves through a controlled three-dimensional motion at a fixed 7° angle. This continuously changes the position of the samples and helps produce even, homogeneous mixing across the platform.
The low starting speed of 10 RPM allows particularly gentle movement of delicate samples, while speeds up to 120 RPM provide faster mixing where more active agitation is required.
Programmable Run-Pause-Run Operation
Pulse mode allows alternating periods of movement and rest to be programmed. This run-pause-run function is useful for protocols requiring intermittent agitation, improved sample redistribution or controlled contact time between reagents.
Save Frequently Used Programmes
Up to nine user-defined programmes can be stored for quick recall. This helps standardise frequently repeated procedures and reduces the time required to enter operating parameters between sample batches.
