Lab Rockers, Lab Shakers, & Vortexers

• Shake and incubate samples simultaneously
• Complete with platforms for tubes and plates
• Intelligent control
• Broad temperature and speed range

Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 56 features interchangeable platforms for microtubes and microplates. Both platforms are supplied with the unit. Temperature in the VorTemp 56 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures in tubes and microplates. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 56 may also be used in the cold room for subambient applications.

Shaking speed as well as acceleration rates are adjustable. Acceleration can be set to three different levels to protect delicate samples.

A microprocessor controls all parameters including temperature and timed operation. Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors the unit for proper temperature and shaking speed, alerting the user to any errors. Heating and shaking are controlled by feedback loops which precisely maintain chosen parameters, independent of load or voltage fluctuations.

The sturdy construction of the VorTemp 56 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.

• Large capacity - process 60 microtubes or 4 microplates
• Resuspending, homogenizing, mixing or vortexing
• Sturdy, compact construction
• Suitable for cold room or incubator use
The smallest of the Orbit digital shakers, the M60, P2 and P4 feature variable speed across a broad range, making them useful for a variety of applications. Both time of operation and shaker speed are set and displayed digitally, with their values shown on the large 3 digit LED. Parameters are selected with an easy turn knob. A sturdy base encloses the motor for quiet, vibration free operation. All three models can be used in temperature controlled environments. Their compact size makes them ideal for incubator use.

Orbit P2 Orbit M60 Despite its small size, the Orbit M60 can process up to 60 microtubes at one time. The platform is removable to function as a transfer rack or workstation. 1.5/2.0 ml tubes are accommodated directly while smaller tubes can be used with adapters, sold separately.

Orbit P2 and Orbit P4 These vortexers accept all sizes of standard microplates, including deep well plates. Retaining springs on the contoured steel platform hold samples in place. The Orbit P2 holds two microplates while the Orbit P4 holds four.

Benchmark Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP All Environment Shaker for Microplates

• Designed for use in CO2 incubators and other extreme environments
• Remote controlled, adjust settings without exposing chamber
• 3 mm orbit for thorough mixing of well plates
• Includes 6 position microplate platform

The Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP is designed for thorough mixing of microplates in extreme environments such as CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 4° to 65°C and humidity levels up to 100%.

To extend the lifetime of the shaker, all the electronics are in a remote-control module that is placed outside the chamber. This has the added advantage of adjusting the shaker speed and time without opening the chamber door and disturbing the interior environment. The controller's thin, flat cord will not interfere with the door seal and the unit can magnetically mount to the outer housing of the incubator. A 6 position microplate platform is included and secures both standard or deep well plates.

Specifications

• Exclusive SmartChek temperature control system
• Stackable design saves space
• Full range of accessories available
• Internal electrical outlet


A small footprint, compact, stackable design and expanded temperature range make the 211DS incubators ideal for molecular biology and general use. Its integral orbital shaker makes it highly versatile.

MIDSCI's exclusive SmartChek temperature control system guarantees precise temperature control. Mechanical convection maintains a stable temperature environment and provides quick recovery after opening the door. A safety thermostat is located on the back of the unit. The insulated door has a large, double glass observation panel and opens nearly 180° for easy access.

Two full and one half shelf are supplied with each incubator. A flat platform and predrilled flask platform (clamps sold separately) are available for the 211DS.

Internal electrical outlet allows using small equipment such as GyroMini or Mini LabRoller Rotator inside the chamber of the 211DS. 

PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer

• Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50 mL
• Pressure activated operation
• "Mini sized", less than 4 inches wide

Powerful is the best word to describe the PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer. With a 4 mm orbit and fixed speed of 2,800 rpm, it instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 mL tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Mini Vortexer has a footprint of less than 4 x 4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded lab bench.

Pressure activated operation means that is the motor is automatically activated with slight pressure on the center cup head. Operation is smooth, quiet, and efficient. When pressure is removed operation immediately ceases. The unique design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life.
