The Yamato SA-400-220V is a double-sided vertical laboratory shaker that runs 20–300 rpm and carries roughly twice the vessel count of a single-deck unit, up to 100 mL × 10, 300 mL × 8, or 1000 mL × 6. Its two-sided design doubles throughput for extraction, dissolution, and mixing without doubling bench footprint, and dial-plus-digital speed control makes settings repeatable. This is the 220V unit; the 115V sibling is the SA400-115V.

Application Profile
Throughput is the story here. Where a standard reciprocating shaker mounts one deck, the Yamato SA-400-220V shakes vessels on two sides at once, running up to 1000 mL × 6 (or 100 mL × 10) in a single cycle. For labs processing batches of extractions, dissolutions, or stains, that roughly doubles the samples per run while keeping the footprint compact at W520 × D460 mm.
The SA400 uses double-sided vertical motion at 20–300 rpm, and adds a digital speed display on top of the dial for repeatable, documented settings, useful for method-controlled work. It shares the SA-series holder ecosystem (separating-funnel holders, flask clamps, racks), so existing SA300/320 accessories carry over. Choose the SA400 when sample count, not motion type, is the constraint; choose the SA300 or SA320 when you need reciprocating or rotary motion in a single-deck format.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Yamato SA-400-220V different from other SA shakers? It is a double-sided vertical shaker (vessels mount on two sides for roughly double the throughput of a single-deck unit) running 20–300 rpm.
How many vessels can it hold? Up to 100 mL × 10, 300 mL × 8, or 1000 mL × 6 with the appropriate holders.
Does it show the set speed? Yes, it combines dial setting with a digital display for repeatable, documentable speeds.
Which voltage is this? This is the 220V SA400 (AC220V, no plug). For 115V supply, order the SA400-115V.
Do SA300/320 accessories fit it? Yes, the SA-series separating-funnel holders, flask clamps, and racks are shared across the family; confirm the vertical-shaking holders at quote.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm at quote: supply voltage (this is 220V), batch size and vessel formats (to specify holders), and platform loading.
Warranty: Per Yamato standard capital-equipment terms. Confirm coverage at quote.
Add the SA-400-220V to a quote to lock voltage and lead time; specify holders for your vessels.
Yamato SA laboratory shakers:
- SA-400-220V (this product): double-sided vertical, 20–300 rpm, high vessel count, 220V
- SA300: 2-way reciprocating, 20–300 rpm
- SA320: rotary shaking, 20–210 rpm
Choose the SA400 when throughput is the priority; choose the SA300/320 when the motion type (reciprocating or rotary) matters more than count.
