iShak US 15 Heavy-Duty Programmable Platform Shaker
Orbital or linear shaking with a maximum 15 kg load and large 745 × 490 mm platform
The iShak US 15 is a heavy-duty programmable platform shaker designed for laboratory loads up to 15 kg. It is available in two versions—orbital or linear reciprocating—with movement options from 30 to 60 mm.
Its large 745 × 490 mm working platform accommodates a wide range of flask, bottle and vessel configurations. A powerful brushless DC motor and microprocessor-controlled drive provide reliable operation across a speed range of 50 to 300 RPM.
Heavy-duty shaking for larger laboratory workloads
Process loads up to 15 kg using orbital or linear movement, with a choice of interchangeable platforms and vessel-retaining systems.

Orbital Version
The orbital version moves the platform in a continuous circular path. This promotes smooth sample circulation and is particularly suitable for microbial cultures, aeration, flask mixing and applications requiring multidirectional movement.
Linear Version
The linear version moves the platform backwards and forwards along a defined path. This reciprocating movement is suitable for extraction, washing, staining, destaining and applications requiring controlled directional agitation.
Programmable Operation
User-defined programmes allow several speed and time stages to be combined into an automated shaking protocol. The programme-looping function can repeat the sequence cyclically for extended or repetitive applications.
Last-run memory provides convenient repeatability, while the optional power-interruption mode allows operation to resume with the remaining parameters after the electrical supply is restored.
Typical Applications
- Microbial and cell-culture growth
- Large-batch flask and bottle mixing
- Extraction and dissolution procedures
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology research
- Environmental and water-sample preparation
- Food, beverage and cosmetic development
- Staining and destaining procedures
- Solubility and formulation studies
- Pilot-scale and quality-control applications
