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™Â 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™Â 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™Â 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™Â 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.

Benchmark™ MultiTherm™ Shaker Touch

  • Large touch screen for simple and easy programming and viewing of status
  • Advanced programming features include adjustable ramp rates, preheat, and clockwise/counterclockwise mixing
  • Multiple block options for plates and tubes up to 50ml
  • Broad temperature and speed range to meet a variety of applications

Like the popular MultiTherm, the MultiTherm Touch features a broad temperature range to meet applications from denaturation of DNA to keeping samples cold (4°C) at the end of a protocol. An expanded speed range (to 3,000rpm), full-color touch screen, greater flexibility in programming, and heated lid option set this new unit apart.

All operating parameters are easily entered and viewed on the large, full-color, touch screen. Fifty programs can be stored, each including up to 5 steps. Programming features such as adjustable ramp rates, interval and directional mixing and preheat options can be set. A “short” button allows for immediate mixing at maximum speed. Fifteen block choices accommodate samples from 0.2 mL to 50 mL as well as a variety of plates. Blocks are quickly and easily interchanged without the use of tools and are automatically recognized by the software. Insulation protects the users from hot surfaces and helps to maintain block temperature.

Condensation can have negative effects on delicate samples and reactions by changing the concentration of reactants. The heated lid option, available for use with tubes up to 5ml and microplates, protects samples by warming the air in the tube and preventing condensation. Easy to use and reliable in operation, the MultiTherm Touch is covered by a 2-year warranty. Blocks and heated lid are sold separately.
