The Disc for Rotary Disc Digital Shaker by StemAids is designed to expand the use of a compatible digital shaker by allowing users to mix different tube formats on the same drive unit. The disc holds sample tubes in fixed positions and rotates them at the selected speed and time settings of the digital shaker.
This accessory is suitable for laboratories that require gentle tube agitation instead of vigorous vortexing or shaking. It helps maintain sample uniformity, reduces settling, and supports controlled rotary movement for delicate laboratory samples.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Disc for Rotary Disc Digital Shaker used for?
It is used to hold laboratory tubes securely during rotary mixing on a compatible digital shaker or tube rotator.
2. Is this disc a complete shaker?
No. It is an accessory disc and must be used with a compatible rotary disc digital shaker or rotary agitator.
3. Which tubes can be used with this disc?
Tube compatibility depends on the disc design. Common options include 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes, 15 mL centrifuge tubes, 50 mL centrifuge tubes, and selected laboratory sample tubes.
4. How do I select the correct disc?
Select the disc according to shaker model, tube diameter, tube length, required capacity, and mounting compatibility.
5. Can this disc be used for biological samples?
Yes. When fitted to a compatible shaker, it can be used for biological samples, blood samples, buffers, reagents, suspensions, and diagnostic samples.
6. Can different tube sizes be mixed on one disc?
It is recommended to use tubes that match the specified size range of the selected disc. Mixing different tube sizes may cause imbalance.
7. Does the disc control speed and timer?
No. Speed and timer settings are controlled by the compatible rotary disc digital shaker. The disc functions as the tube-holding accessory.
8. How should the disc be cleaned?
Remove the disc after switching off and disconnecting the shaker. Wipe it with a soft cloth and mild laboratory-safe cleaning solution, then dry fully before reuse.
9. What safety checks are required before use?
Check disc locking, tube fit, tube caps, load balance, accessory condition, and shaker compatibility before starting the unit.
