Thermo Scientific Solaris Open Air Orbital Shakers are laboratory shakers designed for reproducible mixing and incubation workflows. The systems provide a speed range from 15 to 525 rpm and are suitable for operation inside incubators and environmental chambers. The open air models are available in two sizes and can be supplied as standard or bundle configurations with Flask Clamp Starter Kits.
Thermo Scientific Solaris Open Air Orbital Shakers are designed for mixing, cultivation, and shaking applications in research, QC, and scale-up laboratories. The systems combine a heavy-duty tri-eccentric drive mechanism with a compact footprint for stable and reproducible performance during continuous operation.
The Solaris 2000 and Solaris 4000 provide a speed range from 15 to 525 rpm with a 2.54 cm orbit diameter. The open air configuration allows operation inside microbiological incubators, environmental chambers, and laboratory refrigerators. Both models support high load capacities and are designed for a wide range of laboratory applications.
The integrated touchscreen interface supports protocol management, monitoring, and user settings. Programs can be stored and shared across multiple Solaris units. The systems also feature a compact footprint and removable platforms for simplified cleaning and maintenance.
Solaris Open Air Orbital Shakers are suitable for applications in molecular biology, microbiology, bioprocessing, and general laboratory workflows. The sealed motor housing protects the drive mechanism from spills and contamination. Low operating noise makes the systems suitable for laboratories with continuous activity.
