Benchmark Orbi-Shaker Touch Screen Orbital Shaker with Rubber Mat Platform 13″ x 12″ (BT3001)
$1,656.42
The Benchmark Scientific Orbi-Shaker™ with Touch Screen Display (BT3001) is a high-capacity benchtop orbital shaker designed for dependable mixing and agitation in daily life-science and general lab workflows. Built around a 13″ x 12″ non-slip rubber mat platform, it is well suited for common labware such as tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, and staining trays, making it a strong match for searches like platform orbital shaker, orbital shaker for flasks, Petri dish shaker, and staining tray orbital shaker. With capacity up to 9 × 500 mL, 5 × 1 L, or 2 × 2 L, BT3001 helps labs scale throughput on the benchtop without moving to a large footprint shaker.
For performance and repeatability, BT3001 uses a horizontally circular 19 mm orbit (preferred for swirling action, mixing, and aeration) and provides digital speed control from 30 to 300 rpm with 1 rpm increments. A 1 minute to 99 hour timer (or continuous run) supports everything from quick mixing to long incubation-style agitation. For multi-protocol labs, the BT3001 supports MAGic Clamp™ accessories to quickly exchange flask clamps and holders, helping teams move between flask sizes or vessel formats with less downtime. It is also rated for an operating temperature range of +4°C to +65°C, supporting use in many temperature-controlled lab environments when needed.
Description
Product Highlights
- Touch screen orbital shaker for streamlined control: Easy-to-use touch screen interface for repeatable control of speed and run time.
- High-capacity benchtop platform shaker: Supports up to 9 x 500 mL, 5 x 1 L, or 2 x 2 L for higher-throughput mixing on the benchtop.
- 13" x 12" non-slip rubber mat platform: Ideal for tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, and staining trays for everyday lab mixing and wash/stain workflows.
- 19 mm orbit for aeration & mixing: Horizontally circular 19 mm orbit promotes robust swirling action for effective mixing and aeration in flasks and general containers.
- Precise speed control: 30–300 rpm with 1 rpm increments for protocol-specific agitation and improved reproducibility.
- Fast changes with MAGic Clamp™ accessories (patented): Instantly exchange flask clamps and compatible holders to adapt as protocols and vessel sizes change.
Quick Q&A (Common Buyer Questions)
- Q: What labware is the standard rubber mat platform best for?
- A: The included non-slip rubber mat platform is ideal for tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, and staining trays, and it also works well for general containers used in routine mixing.
- Q: What is the orbit and why does it matter?
- A: The BT3001 uses a 19 mm orbit, commonly preferred for more robust mixing and improved aeration—especially useful for flask workflows.
- Q: How much can it shake at once?
- A: The listed capacity is up to 9 x 500 mL, 5 x 1 L, or 2 x 2 L (layout and vessel retention dependent).
- Q: Can I switch between flask clamp sizes quickly?
- A: Yes. The BT3001 supports MAGic Clamp™ accessories, allowing fast clamp/holder changes to support multiple vessel formats.
- Q: What should I verify before ordering?
- A: Confirm bench space/clearance for the shaker and your intended vessel layout, and ensure your setup stays within the listed load capacity.
