Shakers & Rotators

Orbit 300 Multipurpose Vortexer
Digitally Re-Mastered Laboratory Shakers

Three interchangeable platforms (available separately) accommodate a variety of sample containers to make the Orbit 300 a truly multipurpose shaker. The flat platform, covered with a non-slip rubber mat, holds plates, dishes, boxes, etc. The microplate platform will accommodate up to four microplates. The remaining platform has spring loaded retaining bars that adjust to hold flasks, bottles, racks and other containers in place.

Time and speed are set and displayed digitally. Values are shown on the large, three digit LED. The broad speed range allows the Orbit 300 to be used for gentle mixing as well as vigorous agitation.

The shaker housing is constructed of heavy gauge, coated steel to reduce motor noise and lend stability to the unit. This compact shaker can be used in temperature controlled environments making it ideal for cold room or incubator use.

Mini LabRoller Rotator

Simple, yet versatile, the Mini LabRoller Rotator is designed for mixing samples in both a horizontal and vertical plane. The unit accepts a broad assortment of tube sizes as well as micro plates. Safe for cold room or incubator use, this mixer is ideal for a wide range of applications in areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, clinical testing and histochemistry.

Compact and sleek design
A small footprint and efficient housing design conserve valuable bench space and make the Mini LabRoller Rotator suitable for any size laboratory. It has an ambient operating range of 4º to 65ºC and will easily fit into most incubators. Lightweight and portable, the unit is easily moved from the bench to a biological or chemical hood. Simple construction allows for easy cleaning and decontamination.

Wide range of motion
The Mini LabRoller Rotator is uniquely designed so that the level of agitation can be adjusted from gentle rolling, through two levels of tumbling, to forceful end over end mixing simply by changing the rotisserie position. When a rotisserie is inserted horizontally (tubes held vertically), an end over end motion is produced. The unit can then be used for simple rotating, or rested on either end to create a tumbling motion. Placing the Mini LabRoller on the end with the power switch will create a more vigorous tumbling motion than resting it on the opposite end. A rocking motion is achieved by simply inserting pegs to limit the movement of the rotisserie to 20°, 45°, or 60°. Any of the three available rotisseries can be used as a rocking platform. Using the supplied rod, the rotisseries may be mounted vertically (tubes held horizontally). In all configurations, the speed of the rotisserie is fixed at 24rpm

Interchangeable rotisseries hold numerous tube sizes
The Mini LabRoller Rotator is supplied with a rotisserie for 36 x 1.5 or 2.0 ml tubes. Two additional rotisseries are available separately. The first accommodates ten conical 15 ml or other tubes with a 15-17 mm diameter as well as twelve tubes with a 12-13 mm diameter. The second holds six 50 ml conical tubes. Microplates can be used on any of the three rotisseries.

Wide range of applications
With three rotisserie configurations, dual rotisserie positions and the ability to change the position of the unit to produce a wide range of motions, the Mini LabRoller Rotator has applications in a variety of areas. Its compact size allows it to be used in combination with the Mini Incubator, for a compact temperature controlled mixing solution. In addition to its small size, the Mini Labroller is quiet and economical, making it an excellent value.

Revolver 360° Sample Mixer
Superior Sample Mixing

The Revolver 360° Sample Mixer accepts a variety of tube sizes and mixes them horizontally, vertically, or any position in between. Changing the mixing angle is easy simply turn the rotisserie. No tools are required.

Interchangeable rotisseries accept tubes from 1.5 ml to 50 ml. Each rotisserie is split into two halves. Each of the halves can be exchanged to mix more than one tube type at the same time. Each rotisserie half can be rotated independently from a center point on the shaft. Placing the halves in line with the shaft produces an end over end tumbling motion, similar to that used to mix blood tubes. Rotating the rotisserie at a right angle to the shaft produces a gentle mixing motion, ideal for delicate samples. Any position in between these two extremes may be selected to achieve the desired mixing action. Rotation speed is fixed at 18rpm (20rpm for 230V models).

The Revolver can be used in ambient temperatures from +4ºC to 65ºC, making it ideal for a variety of laboratory settings such as Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, clinical and Histochemistry. Small enough to fit on a crowded bench, the rotator is easily moved where it is needed - the bench, cold room, incubator or biological hood. With a molded housing and unique rotisserie design, the Revolver is easy to clean and decontaminate. A 36 x 1.5/2.0 ml rotisserie is supplied with the Revolver. Other configurations are available separately.

GyroMini Nutating Mixer

The GyroMini is a smaller version of our popular GyroTwister. Its small size makes it ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes.

Like the GyroTwister, the GyroMini combines the motions of an orbital shaker and a rocker to produce a three dimensional action. The result is a thorough yet gentle mixing without foaming. Both the speed and tilt angle of this small shaker are fixed to provide the optimal level of agitation for mixing samples in small containers.

The GyroMini is supplied with a dimpled mat for holding tubes firmly in place. For temperature sensitive samples, the GyroMini can be used in a cold room.

Speed range: 24 rpm
Motion/ Pitch: 3-D/fixed 20º
Maximum load: 1.75 lb/0.8 kg
