The Yamato SA-400A is the SA400 double-sided vertical laboratory shaker configured with six separating-funnel holders (part 232096), built for higher-throughput liquid-liquid extraction. The Yamato SA-400A shakes vertically at 20–300 rpm with a double-sided deck that carries more vessels than the SA300 (up to six 1000 mL or ten 100 mL sample holders) so a lab can extract or mix a larger batch in one run. It is the high-capacity extraction configuration of Yamato's SA shaker platform, with a 90 W DC drive and dial speed plus digital display.

Application Profile
The SA-400A is the throughput answer for shaking-based extraction. Its double-sided vertical deck holds vessels on both sides of the drive, roughly doubling the load a single SA300 carries (up to ten 100 mL, eight 200/300/500 mL, six 1000 mL, or four 2000 mL vessels) so a lab running many parallel extractions, washes, or mixes finishes a batch in one automated run instead of several. Configured here with six separating-funnel holders, it is ready to agitate six funnels simultaneously at a set speed and duration, giving reproducible liquid-liquid extraction across the batch (see mixing-agitation).
The 20–300 rpm vertical stroke spans gentle phase mixing to vigorous extraction, and dial speed with a digital display makes settings repeatable run to run. The 90 W DC motor and 39 kg chassis handle full funnels without walking, and the dial timer's continuous switch supports timed or unattended operation. When the workflow shifts, the SA-series holder ecosystem lets the same deck carry flasks or tubes instead of funnels (see shaker-selection).
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with the SA-400A? The SA400 double-sided vertical shaker plus six separating-funnel holders (part 232096, for 100–1000 mL funnels).
How many vessels can it shake at once? Up to ten 100 mL, eight 200/300/500 mL, six 1000 mL, or four 2000 mL vessels, depending on the holders fitted, roughly double an SA300.
What shaking motion does it use? Double-sided vertical shaking at 20–300 rpm, with dial speed setting and a digital speed display.
How is it different from the SA-300A? The SA-400A (SA400) is double-sided vertical with six funnel holders and higher vessel capacity; the SA-300A (SA300) is two-dimensional horizontal/vertical with four funnel holders on a compact deck.
What voltage does it ship as? Voltage is configured to order. The base SA400 is offered in 115 V (2 A) and 220 V (1 A). Confirm 115 V or 220 V at quote.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The SA-400A is a high-capacity extraction shaker sold through a quote. At quote we confirm supply voltage (115 V or 220 V), holder configuration, and lead time. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote. Request a quote to lock voltage and holders for the SA-400A.
SA laboratory shaker, extraction configurations: the SA-400A (this product) is the double-sided vertical SA400 with six funnel holders and the highest vessel capacity in the line; the SA-300A is the compact SA300 with four funnel holders. Choose the SA-400A when batch size or parallel-extraction throughput is the priority.
