1.1 Overview
Major Science Orbital Shaker, using its patented mechanism and function
achieves unique motion which drives forward and backward, elicits perfect
mixing performance. Agitation is driven with exact measurements, while
cycle rotation for forward and backward is controlled by the microprocessor
controller with timer. This unit provides a 30 cm x 30 cm platform. It is
perfect for bench-top and normal incubator operations. Its light weighted for
easy mobility, and it also provides quiet, reliable operation for any research.
More importantly, MS Orbital Shaker is RoHS compliant and designed to
comply with the CE regulation.
MS-NOR-30
1.2 Product Description
The orbital shaker is a microprocessor controlled orbital shaking instrument
for many general purpose shaking applications in chemical and life sciences
laboratories. Its unique design digitally controls clockwise and/or anti
clockwise orbits to achieve outstanding mixing efficiency. The operation
may be continuous or timed, with the integral electronic timer ensuring
accurate repeatability of time-sensitive incubations. Speed and time setting
are straightforward in the LED display. Its load weight is up to 10kg. An
audible signal accompanies automatic switch-off to indicate the completion
of a set time period. The interchangeable / stacking platforms and
accessories enable a wide choice of vessels to be used, including bottles,
flasks and beakers, dishes, boxes, and petri-dishes.

Major Science Orbital Shaker is actually a pre-installed instrument. As long
as it is placed on a sturdy and level surface in a safe, dry place, and
sufficient spare space in the neighborhood for shaking movement, it is ready
for operation.
Installation Instruction of Double Platforms (Optional)
If users purchase the additional platforms, here we offer a simple
installation instruction to help users install the second platform.
If users have no requirement on double platforms, please skip this
section and directly go to Section 5 for Operation Instructions.
Tool Require d : a cro s she ad s cr e w dr iver ( Not pro v id ed)
Step1. Get ready the second platform, aluminum pillars and 4 flathead
screws, which are included in the purchased package.
Note:
If users require double platforms with “single-layer pillars”, then 4 pillars are
needed. And if double platforms with “double-layer pillars” are required, 8
pillars are needed.

11
Step2. Release the springs and remove the black rubber pad that are on the
platform.
Step3. Insert 4 pillars to the holes at 4 corners. And fasten the pillars
tightly.
Step2
Step3
DOMINIQUE DUTSCHER SAS

Step3. And fasten the flathead screws to fix the second platform.
Note (1):
After finish the installation of double platforms, remember to put the rubber
pads back to the platforms. But note that users might have to cut off small
pieces of the rubber pad at 4 corners to avoid blocking the pillars.
Step3
DOMINIQUE DUTSCHER SAS

13
Note (2):
If users require the double platform with double-layer pillars, just insert
another pillar on the first-layer pillar and fasten it tightly; then screw the
flathead screw to fix the second platform on the pillars.

Instruction of Drilling Holes on the Rubber Mat
(to install the flask holders with the rubber mat on platform.)
The standard rubber mat that Major Science provides is without any
drilled holes. If you would like to fasten the flask holders on the platform
along with the rubber mat, here we offer the instruction of drilling
procedure.
Step1. Release the strip springs, and remove the rubber mat.
Step2. Reveal the platform, and loosen the screws that fasten on the
platform.

Step3. Remove the platform from the machine, and put the rubber mat
back to the platform, and place a thick cushion (the size should
be similar as the size of platform) on the rubber mat and
platform.
Step4. Turn over the platform, and use a white marker to mark the
screw holes that fasten the flask holders on the rubber mat.

Step5. Use a sharp tool to drill the marked dots on the rubber mat. (The
small flathead screwdriver is used for drilling in the picture; it is
strongly suggested using the professional drilling tools when
drilling the mat.)
Step6. The finished rubber mat should be as the picture below.
Note:
The rubber mat in the illustration below has been drilled for the different
sizes of flask holders (from 125 ml to 1000 ml).
In the following pictures, the circles represent the position of flasks; the
dot in the center of the circle is the screw hole for flask holder.

Step7. Assemble the platform back. Then you’ll be able to install the
flask holders on it.
Note:
Use the correct-sized screws to install the flask holders on the platform
along with the rubber mat. We’ll provide a set of holder screws attached to
your purchase of MS Orbital Shaker (with flask holders).
