Shakers, Mixers, Rockers and Rotators

Product Details:

These multi-functional shakers provide a 3-dimensional “nutating” motion for thorough, foam-free mixing in blood and centrifuge tubes, as well as in a variety of flat vessels. Both models come  with autoclavable dimpled mats while optional flat mats are also available for mixing other vessel types. Stacking platforms can be purchased as accessories, effectively doubling the usable surface area of each model. Even the smallest single platform configuration has 24% more platform work surface than traditional nutating mixers. These mixers feature maintenance free, brushless motors capable of loads up to 2kg and are safe for use in cold rooms and incubators. 

• Includes dimpled mat; ideal for mixing in blood & centrifuge tubes
• Tri-directional motion for thorough, uniform mixing
• Optional stacking platforms available
• Cold room and incubator safe

The BenchMixer™ V2 utilizes a smooth and powerful mixing technology, with the advantage of a uniquely designed reversible rubber head that can be attached to the mixer in two orientations. For the vortexing of single tubes, the cupped surface would generally be preferred. However, for applications requiring a flat/dimpled surface for mixing uniquely shaped vessels (or a handful of multiple test-tubes), the head can easily be flipped over and reattached in reverse orientation.

The drive system is balanced with Q-Drive™ technology, providing a smooth vortexing action, while minimizing noise and excessive vibration. This results in quieter, more efficient and longer lasting operation. With a maximum speed up to 3,200 rpm, the mixer provides an instant vortex of even the largest sample sizes, including full 50ml tubes.

• Reversible top platform - cup or flat-dimpled surface
• Powerful motor for instant vortexing
• Continuous or “touch” operation
• Q-Drive™ dynamic balancing system
• Variable speed from 200 to 3200 rpm
• Wide variety of accessories, for tubes up to 50ml

Product Details:

The RotoBot Rotating Mixers feature advanced programming options that far surpass that of the traditional laboratory rotator. With digital speed control and more than 10 operating modes, the RotoBot can be selected to perform a wide variety of rotating, mixing and vibrating actions. In addition, these actions can be combined in succession, using the C1 and C2 “Custom Modes” providing the user with a nearly infinite level of programming

• Advanced programming with a wide variety of rotational modes
• Set for full 360° rotation, or interrupt rotations with pausing & mixing intervals
• Slow rotating to vigorous mixing
• Cold room and incubator safe
• Accepts common tubes from 1.5 to 50ml
• Optional rocking platform

Product Details:

Powerful is the best word to describe this mini vortexer. With a 4 mm orbit and fixed speed of 2800rpm, the Vornado instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 ml tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Vornado has a footprint of less than 4×4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded bench.

lnsta-Touch operation means that 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 Vornado’s unique head design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life. The unit is available with five different cup head colors.

• Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50ml
• Insta-Touch™ pressure activated operation
• “Mini Sized”, less than 4 in. wide
• Available in 5 colors

The new Incu-Mixer MP series by Benchmark Scientific is designed to provide an optimal method for vortexing and incubating microplates. Simultaneous heating from both the bottom surface and the lid provide temperature uniformity throughout the sample. Additionally, the heated lid minimizes evaporation and prevents condensation.

A compact, 2mm orbit ensures thorough mixing in microplates without splashing. Speed, time and temperature are all displayed in real time on the large LCD screen while an internal validation system constantly monitors all parameters for accuracy.

Designed for application flexibility, the Incu-Mixer series is available in two, and four-plate capacities, both capable of accepting standard plates. Independent time, temperature and speed controls allow the mixer to function as 3 machines in one; a multi-plate incubator, vortexer, or a combination of the two. The Incu-Mixer MP series is ideal for a wide variety of molecular biology applications including immunochemical reactions, enzyme and protein analysis, and microarray analysis.

• Optimized for incubated mixing in microplates
• Heated lid prevents condensation
• Accepts plates up to 46mm high (4 plate model only)
• Independently control time, temperature and speed
• Available in two-plate and four-plate format

Product Details:

Benchmark’s new Roto-Therm series of incubated rotating mixers provide a wide range of mixing capabilities. Suitable for an array of laboratory applications including resuspension, protein binding, nucleic acid purification, histochemistry, hybridization etc., The mixers include :

• Interchangeable tube holders for accommodating all common tube sizes from 0.5ml to 50ml. The motion can be adjusted from vertical (end over end) mixing, to horizontal (rolling or hybridization style) mixing.
• For applications requiring temperature control, the Roto-Therm series can be digitally programmed to maintain chamber temperatures of ambient +5°C to 60°C and include an “in-lab” calibration function for ensuring accurate temperature control.
• The Roto-Therm is also available in a “Plus” configuration, providing the following additional features:

o   Variable speed: 5 to 70rpm
o   “Mix” function: Rotating in combination w/ oscillations (increased mixing)
o   “Pause” function: Rotating with intermittent “stops” during rotation
o   “Rock” function: Back and forth, gentle rocking motion (see-saw)

• The Plus model also offers an additional rocking platform (4.5 x 3 in.), as well as a 96 x 0.2ml tube/strip/plate holder for mixing PCR vessels in the “Mix” (oscillating) mode.

The new Orbi-Shaker CO2 series is designed for shaking, mixing & aeration applications in extreme environments, including CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 0 to 60°C and humidity levels up to 100%.

To avoid contamination, unintentional release of gas or deviations from protocol, all settings are adjusted via the included remote control module. This module can be stored outside of the chamber and connects to the shaker via a flat (1mm thickness) cable, which easily passes through a port or underneath an incubator door without compromising the seal. This allows for user adjustment of run time or mixing speed without opening the chamber door(s).

The instrument is supplied with a non-slip rubber mat platform. In addition, convenient MAGic Clamp™ platforms (of multiple sizes) are also available for use with Erlenmeyer flasks and test tube racks. The unique magnetic attachment method (PATENTED) has been widely recognized as the easiest way to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes.

• Designed to fit and maximize capacity in most CO2 incubators
• Remote control, adjust without disrupting the CO2 environment
• Horizontally circular 19mm orbit for aeration & mixing
• Instantly exchange flask clamps with MAGic Clamp™ accessories (PATENTED)
