Eberbach has a long history of building laboratory equipment that scientists rely on for critical work. Eberbach's Hand Motion Shaker line brings that same expertise to a problem labs have faced for many years.
When chemicals are centrifuged, denser material settles to the bottom and compacts into pellets. Getting that material fully resuspended requires vigorous, consistent shaking which is difficult to achieve by hand and hard to replicate consistently. The EL680 series was built to solve that, delivering a repeatable motorized hand motion stroke that breaks up pellets and resuspends material reliably. After more than a decade of development and real world use, it's a proven solution that labs continue to adopt.
Built for Demanding Methods
The EL680.Q was engineered for reliable, repeatable mixing of vials and syringes, a common requirement across extraction, sample prep, and analytical workflows. The EL680.Q accommodates a range of custom holder options for 1 ml syringes, 2.25 ml syringes, and 25 ml vials, making it a flexible fit for labs that work across multiple methods and sample types.
For environmental and microbiological labs, the EL680.E Capsule Filter Ready model brings the same reliable hand motion action to capsule style filter processing, accommodating formats like PALL and Cytiva Envirochek. These methods are commonly used in water quality testing.
The EL680.00 Standard Hand Motion Shaker is an effective tool for extracting, dissolving, and emulsifying samples. It can be upgraded to the EL680.HD for heavier duty loads.
