Laboratory & Life Science Equipment

Mixing, Heating & Liquid Handling

Everyday bench equipment for shaking, stirring, heating, incubating and pipetting samples and reagents accurately and consistently.

Mixing, Heating & Liquid Handling

The everyday tools of the laboratory bench

Mixing, heating and liquid handling equipment covers the routine tasks found in nearly every method. Orbital shakers and oscillators mix cultures, extractions and soil suspensions, decolorizing shakers gently rock gels during staining, magnetic stirrers and heating stirrers dissolve reagents and prepare media, digital hotplates heat vessels evenly, and constant-temperature water baths warm samples and reagents to a set point. Single and multi-channel adjustable pipettes dispense accurate volumes into tubes and microplates. University, research, food, soil, water and molecular biology laboratories use them daily. ASFAN supplies and supports this equipment and helps specify complete laboratories.

ASFAN supplies and supports shakers, stirrers, hotplates, water baths and pipettes for laboratories across Saudi Arabia.

Consistent extractions

Shaking soil, plant and food samples at a fixed speed and time gives uniform extraction, which is essential for comparable nutrient, residue and contaminant results.

Reagent and media preparation

Magnetic stirrers with heating dissolve salts, buffers and culture media quickly and evenly, reducing preparation time and the risk of undissolved material.

Controlled incubation

Water baths hold samples at a stable temperature for enzyme reactions, thawing, serology and method steps that specify an exact incubation temperature.

Accurate liquid handling

Adjustable single and multi-channel pipettes deliver precise volumes for dilutions, ELISA plates and PCR set-up, improving repeatability across operators and runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orbital shaker or oscillator?

Orbital shakers move flasks in a smooth circular path suited to cultures and extractions. Multipurpose oscillators offer adjustable speed and different motions for a wider range of containers, while decolorizing shakers rock gels gently during staining.

When is a multi-channel pipette worth it?

Multi-channel pipettes fill several wells at once and save considerable time with 96-well microplates, such as ELISA and PCR plates. Single-channel pipettes remain essential for individual tubes and standard preparation.

Should we choose a hotplate or a heating stirrer?

A hotplate only heats. A magnetic heating stirrer heats and stirs together, which is better for dissolving reagents and keeping solutions uniform. Many benches keep both for different tasks.
