Sticky pads is an ideal alternative to flask clamps for securing vessels to a shaker platform. The mat is designed for use with containers with a flat wide base. It is ideal for containers such as bottles and dishes that cannot be held with traditional flask clamps. With shake flasks the pad can be used at speeds up 200 or 300 rpm (see chart), from −30 to 70 °C. It can be regenerated for reuse by simply washing it with mild detergent and water.
