Mat Key Features
Proven, high-traction design
A robust linear-groove pattern developed for dependable day-to-day shaker performance.
Designed for general and microbial applications
Ideal for routine laboratory shaking where strong grip, stability and easy cleaning are the priority.
Secure mat placement during flask handling
The groove geometry helps keep the mat firmly positioned on the incubator shaker platform during flask loading and removal.
Reliable flasks hold at typical operating speeds
Suitable for standard 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mL shake flasks on common incubator shakers.
Open-groove geometry for drainage and cleaning
Wide linear grooves help manage spills, condensate and moisture while remaining easy to rinse and wipe clean.
Balanced contact area and support
Approximately 70% land area provides a practical balance of grip, drainage and mechanical stability.
Durable PU construction
Made from 6 mm polyurethane, approx. 27 Shore A, giving a compliant yet stable surface for repeated shaker use.
Drop-in platform fit
385 × 395 mm with a 5 mm solid border, sized for common incubator shaker platforms.
Trusted field performance
Proven over years of routine use as a stable, reliable mat for general shaking workflows.
Why Linear Grooves Work for Microbial Application
Wide linear grooves deliver reliable shaker performance through a simple and proven design. By reducing the contact area between the flask and the mat, they help limit the continuous seal that can form under the flask base, which in turn reduces the maximum vacuum force that may develop during handling.
The open groove channels also allow air, condensate and thin liquid films to move more freely, helping prevent large, trapped suction pockets. At the same time, the raised lands between the grooves support the flask on a stable ribbed surface that provides dependable friction and mechanical grip during shaking.
In soft 27 Shore A PU, this geometry also accommodates surface irregularities, moisture and material deformation without compromising overall stability. Because the grooves are straight and continuous, the design is easy to clean, offers predictable drainage, and delivers robust, repeatable performance in everyday laboratory use.
This makes the linear-groove mat especially well-suited to microbial applications, where cultures are generally more tolerant of mechanical stress and the priority is often strong, reliable flask retention at speed, good spill and condensate management, easy wash-down, and durable day-to-day operation rather than ultra-low-suction flask release.
Choose the Rights Shaker Mat for your Application
Linear Grooves Mat
Best for microbial and general lab use
A proven high traction mat designed for strong flask hold, easy cleaning and reliable day to day shaker performance. Wide linear grooves provide dependable grip, good drainage and simple wash down, making this ideal choice for microbial applications and routine laboratory use.
Vent Grooves mat
Best for mammalian cell culture
An advance shaker mat designed for easy flask release, lower suction and more uniform flask support. Vent groves, main grooves and micro vents work together to reduce and improve handling, making this mat ideal for mammalian cell line development and other sensitive cell culture workflows.
