Freedom Rocker™ BotBlot®
The Freedom Rocker™ BlotBot® is an automated blot processor. The fully programmable blot processing station automates the tedious incubation and washing steps required to process blots and gels, thus saving time and money through increased productivity. All trays receive the same reagent or wash buffer at the same time, in equal volumes, ensuring consistency.
Simply dispense individual reagents (in volumes as low as 3.5 mL) into appropriate trays and recover them separately. This allows the conservation of primary antibodies. The control panel has a large graphic display and intuitive layout making it easy to program protocols. These protocols can include different rocking speeds and times for each step.
BlotBot® with a clear window can be employed when using reagents that are not light-sensitive in western blots. BlotBot® with a blackout window is recommended when using fluorescent reagents in western blots to preserve their integrity.
- Automated delivery and removal of buffers/reagents
- Dispense and recover different antibodies or reagents in each tray
- Only 3.5 mL or reagent per blot is needed due to specially designed trays
- Reagent recovery
- Easy to use-just plug in
- Quiet, no air or vacuum connections necessary
- Drip-proof quick-release connections
- 2-year warranty
RoboRocker

High Speed 750 series
Programmable RoboRocker 750 series rockers are designed for high shear flow for 3D cell and organoid culture systems. The High Speed 750 series rockers can travel at high speeds, which allows it to burst to the desired angle. This is useful if you want high shear flow immediately, rather than “using up” culture medium while the culture plate is traveling to the steep angle. This model is geared for high speed. Positioning is very accurate but not as accurate as the 210 series RoboRockers.
Additional Stackable platform
The 11.5 x 11.5 In. platform has six removable well plate/culture plate docks in a 3 x 2 array. The platform can hold more than 6 plates if the plates are stacked. The dock guide can be removed to allow the platform to hold items other than plates. The dock guide can be positioned so that the plates tilt along their length or their width. 11 lb. (5 kg) load capacity.
