The Yamato SA-320B is the SA320 rotary laboratory shaker configured with the adjustable Erlenmeyer flask holder (Part No. 232097), ready to run flasks from 100 mL to 1000 mL out of the box. The SA320 delivers rotary (swirling) shaking at 20–210 rpm — the motion of choice for aeration, cell suspension, and gentle mixing — on the same stable platform as the rest of the SA family.

Application Profile
Rotary shaking swirls liquid around the vessel wall, maximizing gas exchange at the surface — which is why it's the standard motion for microbial and cell culture aeration, suspension, and gentle dissolution. The Yamato SA-320B provides that at 20–210 rpm, and because it ships with the adjustable Erlenmeyer flask holder (232097), a single clamp spans 100 mL to 1000 mL flasks without swapping racks between vessel sizes.
That adjustability is the point of the "B" configuration: labs running mixed flask sizes get one holder that reconfigures in seconds rather than a drawer of fixed-capacity clamps. The SA320 shares the SA-series accessory ecosystem — separating-funnel holders, test-tube racks, mounting stages — so it flexes beyond flask work when needed. Choose the SA320 for rotary motion; the SA300 covers linear reciprocating shaking and the SA400 covers double-sided vertical throughput.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shaking motion and speed does the Yamato SA-320B provide? Rotary (horizontal/vertical rotary) shaking at 20–210 rpm — ideal for culture aeration and gentle suspension.
What flask holder is included? The adjustable Erlenmeyer flask holder, Part No. 232097, which spans 100 mL to 1000 mL flasks in a single clamp.
How does it differ from the SA300 and SA400? The SA320 is rotary; the SA300 is 2-way reciprocating (20–300 rpm) and the SA400 is double-sided vertical (20–300 rpm).
Which voltage is this? The SA320 is available in 115V and 220V — this SKU does not specify one, so confirm supply voltage at order.
Can it run other vessels? Yes — SA-series separating-funnel holders, test-tube racks, and mounting stages fit the SA320 platform.
Ordering & Configuration
