EOM5 Medium Orbital Shaker

Product Code: EOM5

Product Overview

The Ratek EOM5 Orbital Shaker is a versatile, reliable, and easy-to-use laboratory shaker designed for a broad range of mixing applications. Built for laboratories that require consistent performance and long-term durability, the EOM5 combines precise speed control with smooth orbital motion to deliver reproducible mixing results across a variety of biological, chemical, and diagnostic procedures.

Featuring a solid-state speed controller with optical feedback, the EOM5 maintains accurate and repeatable shaking speeds from 20 to 200 RPM, ensuring dependable performance even during extended operation. The simple front-mounted speed control dial allows quick adjustment, while the robust brushless AC motor and Ratek’s proven silent belt drive system provide years of quiet, maintenance-free operation.

To enhance user safety and sample integrity, the EOM5 incorporates a slow-start acceleration feature that gradually reaches the selected speed, reducing the risk of spills and sample disruption. A motion-interrupt safety cut-out automatically halts operation if movement is interrupted, providing additional protection for both users and valuable samples.

The supplied non-slip mat is suitable for general-purpose shaking applications up to 100 RPM. For laboratories requiring higher speeds or specialised vessel retention, a comprehensive range of optional accessories is available, including adhesive mat trays, tulip clip trays, dual-tier trays, universal racks, and Mojonnier racks.

Combining reliability, simplicity, and performance, the EOM5 is an ideal solution for routine laboratory mixing tasks.
