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.

- Intelligent control
- Broad temperature and speed range
Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 56 features interchangeable platforms for microtubes and microplates. Both platforms are supplied with the unit. Temperature in the VorTemp 56 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures in tubes and microplates. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 56 may also be used in the cold room for subambient applications.
Shaking speed as well as acceleration rates are adjustable. Acceleration can be set to three different levels to protect delicate samples.
A microprocessor controls all parameters including temperature and timed operation. Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors the unit for proper temperature and shaking speed, alerting the user to any errors. Heating and shaking are controlled by feedback loops which precisely maintain chosen parameters, independent of load or voltage fluctuations.
The sturdy construction of the VorTemp 56 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.

Benchmark™ Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP
All Environment Shaker for Microplates
- Designed for use in CO2 incubators and other extreme environments
- Remote controlled, adjust settings without exposing the chamber
- 3 mm orbit for thorough mixing of well plates
- Includes 6-position microplate platform
The Orbi-Shaker™ CO2-MP is designed for thorough mixing of microplates in extreme environments such as CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 4° to 65°C and humidity levels up to 100%.
To extend the lifetime of the shaker, all the electronics are in a remote-control module that is placed outside the chamber. This has the added advantage of adjusting the shaker speed and time without opening the chamber door and disturbing the interior environment. The controller's thin, flat cord will not interfere with the door seal and the unit can magnetically mount to the outer housing of the incubator. A 6-position microplate platform is included and secures both standard or deep well plates.
