Vibration Technique

Vibration technique uses different laboratory devices in order to blend or affiliate liquid substances or assays due to continued and steady motion. Therefore, the technical implementation of different vibration motions is deviated from motions by hand at manual vibration. Horizontal motion is distinguished from vertical motion as well as circular and tilting motion. For the implementation of those motions in fields of vibration techniques, different machines are used. Besides overhead vibration machines, in which case the content of closed containers is blended via a rotational motion, flatbed vibration machines are used as well in fields of vibration techniques. The flatbed vibration achieves the mixture of the reagents due to different motions of a horizontal bearing. Orbital shakers achieve a blend due to circular vibrating motion. Above all, a luffing shaker is distinguished from a wobbling shaker, an incubating- and a test-tube- shaker. Vibration technique is mainly used in fields of laboratory processing to synthesize and analyze chemical and biological samples.

Incubation shakers: Incubators are used in general to induce monitored temperature- and humidity-conditions to simulate special, natural conditions and habitats for living organisms to grow and develop, which is important in special cases of growing micro-organisms to prohibit the formation of a so called flower. A flower is a thin biofilm emerging at bounding surfaces between different phases and therefore can lead to a falsification of experimental results. Additional through vibration the test duration can be reduced, or processes in the human organism can even be imitated. The selection of different vibration frequencies and rotational speeds allows a wide field of application. 

Orbital shakers: Another device applied in fields of vibration techniques is the circle shaker. Due to circular-vibrating rotational motion, an even blend of samples can be achieved. The construction design ranges from simple test-tube-shakers up to complex vibration systems for sample-pallets with extensive additional equipment. The application range includes solubility studies as well as the growing of microorganisms and analytic and diagnostic applications in food industry and pharmacy.
