The Dilugent Shaker uses orbital rotation to make sure each dilution is thoroughly vortexed. It is activated by either an hands-free optical sensor or the optional foot pedal. The 42 LED indicators light each cup, letting you easily see what dilution well you are in.

Easy as 1-2-3
- Add 1ml sample to the first Dilucup®
- Activate timed vortex with motion sensor or foot pedal.
- Aliquot 1ml from first inoculated cup to the next sterile cup and reactivate the timed vortex. Repeat this process until the desired final dilution factor is reached.
Customizable, colored LED lights change color to give a clear visual guide as the serial dilution process is continued.
Benefits
Save Time
- Ready-to-use dilution cups
- Save preparation time
- Save quality control time
- Save half the time per dilution compared to dilution tubes
Standardize your dilutions
- Highly accurate diluent volume (9 mL ± 1 %)
- Same shaking parameters (speed, time)
- Less variability between technicians
Prevent repetitive stress injuries
- Comfortable pipetting with no need for uncapping and recapping tubes before vortexing
- Vibrations are absorbed by the shaker, further preventing repetitive strain injuries
Save storage space
- Save half the space compared to tubes thanks to Dilucup's compact design
- 30 months shelf life from date of manufacture at room temperature
