Shaking Incubator | Orbital Incubator Shaker
Shaking Incubator Manufacturer in India
A shaking incubator (also called an incubator shaker) moves your samples in an orbital motion while holding them at a steady temperature. That combination keeps liquid cultures mixed, well aerated and at the right temperature, which is why it is a daily workhorse in cell culture, microbiology and bacteriology labs.
Bionics Scientific has been manufacturing laboratory equipment in Delhi for 26 years. Our shaking incubators come as heated or refrigerated units, as compact benchtop models or large floor-standing ones, and with single or double layers. Each unit can be customised, and a wide range of accessories is available to fit your flasks, plates and working method.
Quick Answer: What Does a Shaking Incubator Do?
It shakes samples in circles while controlling the temperature. The shaking mixes the liquid and brings oxygen into it, and the temperature control keeps growth conditions stable. You get faster, more even growth than you would in a still incubator.

How to Choose the Right Model
Start with how much you grow and where it will sit. A few flasks on a busy bench point to the mini benchtop unit. Screening work in plates is what the microplate model is built for. If you run large volumes, or several experiments at once, the floor-standing and double-layer models give you the room.
Then think about temperature. A heated unit is enough when you always work above room temperature. If your protocol needs cooler setpoints, or your lab runs warm, go for a refrigerated incubator shaker. Not sure which fits? Tell us what you grow and in what vessels, and we will point you to the right one.
Where Labs Use Shaking Incubators
- Growing bacterial and microbial cultures in flasks
- Suspension cell culture work
- Microplate-based screening and small-volume assays
- Bacteriology and general microbiology teaching labs
- Pharma, biotech and research labs that need steady temperature with constant mixing
If your work needs a gentle tilting motion instead of an orbital swirl, our rocking shaker is the better tool. You can also see everything we offer on our incubators page.
Why Labs Choose Bionics Scientific
We design and build every unit in Delhi, and we have done it for 26 years. Our incubators serve research labs, hospitals, pharma units and universities across India, and we also ship overseas. Because the units are customisable, you are not forced into a standard size that almost fits. You also get help from the people who built the machine, before and after the sale.
For pricing, the cost depends on size, heated or refrigerated design, number of layers and accessories. Share your requirement and we will send a clear quote.
Shaking Incubator FAQs
What is a shaking incubator?
It is a lab instrument that shakes samples in an orbital motion while holding a set temperature. It keeps cultures mixed, aerated and warm.
What is a shaking incubator used for?
Labs use it to grow cell cultures, bacteria and other micro-organisms in liquid media under controlled conditions.
How is it different from a normal incubator?
A normal incubator holds samples still. A shaking incubator also moves them, so liquid cultures get oxygen and mix evenly.
When do I need a refrigerated model?
Choose a refrigerated model when you need to run at or below room temperature, or to hold cooler setpoints in a warm lab.
Which types of shaking incubator do you make?
We make mini benchtop, refrigerated, microplate, floor-standing and double-layer models.
Can a shaking incubator be customised?
Yes. Size, configuration and accessories can be matched to your flasks, plates and application.
What affects the price of a shaking incubator?
Capacity, heated or refrigerated design, number of layers and accessories. Share your requirement for an exact quote.
Do you supply across India and overseas?
Yes. We supply to labs across India and to overseas markets.
