In this invention we describe a shaking device that is used to shake, stir, mix, rotate or agitate samples in containers attached to the shaking device. The shaking device, herein referred to as the shaker, is used to mix the solid, liquid or gaseous components of the sample in the container. The shaker described in this invention has a flexible arm to which the containers containing samples are attached. Due to the flexibility of the arm, its shape can be changed such that the speed and type of sample shaking can be varied based on the shape of the arm and based on where on the arm a sample container is attached. In this manner, orbital, linear, circular and other two or three-dimensional shaking, mixing, agitation and stirring of the sample can be achieved. The present invention provides an easy new method for shaking samples in containers of different shapes and volumes, at different speeds and in different orientations in space.
