Lab Rockers, Lab Shakers, & Vortexers

 

At MIDSCI, we carry a top of the line, cutting-edge, selection of lab rockers, lab shakers, and vortexers.

 

We stand by our lab shaker, lab rocker, and vortexer equipment as many carry multi-year warranties. 
  
Beyond just warranties, our selection of products carry numerous features sure to suit your applications and needs. 
  
For instance, if you require superior mixing action for gels and blots, then our single platform lab rocker is right for you. It’s made of  industrial-duty components, maintains a set speed, and is cold-room safe. Not to mention, the degree of tilt is infinitely adjustable in a matter of seconds. 
  
If you’re shopping for a lab shaker, then perhaps the SCILOGEX SK-O330-Pro Digital Orbital Lab Shaker is what you need. It’s perfect for bioreactors and CO2 incubators and has a 100-500 RPM shaking speed range. 

 

And we have a full suite of benchtop vortexers and incubated vortexers for you to take a look at as well.

 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 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.

PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer

  • 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 50 mL

 

The PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer 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 50 mL tubes.

Incu-Shaker™ - Stackable Shaking Incubator


The new Benchmark Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR introduce a high-throughput, space saving shaking incubator system to the Incu-Shaker family. Now with stacking capability of up to 2 units, the Incu-Shaker™ 20 series are highly space-efficient without compromising on reliability or temperature performance. Thoroughly tested for years of reliable performance, the same proven brushless induction motor drive is featured as in other Incu-Shaker instruments. The high grade stainless-steel internal chambers provide temperature accuracy within ±0.1°C, and industry-leading uniformity within the chamber of ±0.5°C. The Incu-Shaker™ 20L features temperature control from 5°C above ambient temperatures up to 60°C. The 20LR features a built-in powerful compressor, allowing for cooling down to 4°C, even while the shaker is in use, up to 60°C.

The increased chamber size now allows for up to 4 5-Liter Erlenmeyer flasks to be in use at once. Usable space is maximized by providing adjustable shelving above the shaker platforms, which can be used for incubation of Petri dishes, cell culture plates, or other smaller vessels. Even when two stacked units are working, the noise and vibration levels are significantly minimized by the advanced, computer-designed motor isolation system.

The Incu-Shaker™ 20 series feature a non-slip rubber mat platform, and can be outfitted with Benchmark’s MAGic Clamp™ universal magnetic platform. Magnetic flask attachment accessories can then be used, allowing for easy, toolless addition and removal of flasks from the shaker. Flask clamps of most sizes, tube racks, and other magnetic vessel holders are available and usable with the Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR. The Incu-Shaker 20L and 20LR are now available for efficient, repeatable growth culture and other applications. 

Highlights:
  • Stainless steel chamber provides premier temperature uniformity
  • Proven reliable, maintenance-free Incu-Shaker™ motor drive system
  • Bright, intuitive touch-screen controls
  • Instantly change flask clamps with MAGic Clamp™ accessories
  • Included pull-out adjustable shelf for static incubations
