Advalab’s Rocker Shakers feature anti-slip surfaces to keep containers secure during operation. Their robust design, combined with brushless DC motors, ensures long life and minimal noise. They maximize throughput by allowing multiple layers of samples in a single footprint. These units deliver a smooth see-saw or 3D wave-like motion, reducing the risk of shear stress. Our Rocker Shaker is ideal for staining, de-staining, hybridizations, and cell culture applications in molecular biology labs.
1. What is a Rocker Shaker used for?
A Rocker Shaker is commonly used for gentle mixing applications such as staining, de-staining, western blots, hybridization, and cell culture. Its smooth rocking motion helps avoid damage to sensitive samples. It is widely used in molecular biology and clinical laboratories for uniform sample processing.
2. What types of containers can be used with the Rocker Shaker?
The Rocker Shakers platform accommodates a wide range of containers, including flasks, tubes, dishes, and culture plates. Anti-slip surfaces keep them securely in place during operation. This versatility makes rocker shakers suitable for many lab protocols. Optional attachments and racks can further customize the platform for specific container types.
3. How do I clean and maintain the Rocker Shaker?
The Rocker Shakers platform can be wiped down with a mild disinfectant. Avoid using harsh chemicals. The brushless motor requires no regular maintenance. Regularly check for any loose parts or debris to ensure smooth operation. Always unplug the unit before cleaning to ensure safety.
