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.

The Orbit LS low speed shaker is a high quality, general purpose shaker with economical analog control.
Styled after the other models in the line, the Orbit LS features a streamlined, compact design with easy-access control panel. Electronic controls are utilized for setting speed and time. The knobs used for selecting parameters turn easily and are clearly marked with corresponding values.
A large orbit and low speed make the Orbit LS useful for staining and destaining gels, washing blots and general mixing. The shaker is supplied with a 30 x 30 cm stainles steel flat platform and non-slip rubber mat to keep plates, dishes and other sample containers in place.
Safe for use in temperature controlled environments, the small profile of this shaker makes it ideal for use in incubators such as the Labnet 311 and 611 series.

Grant Bio Personal Multi-Channel Bioreactors - RTS-8 and RTS-8-PLUS
Personal multi-channel bioreactors with non-invasive real-time OD, pH, and pO2 measurements.
Please specify which calibration option is desired upon placing order (E.coli, S.Cerevisiae, or both E.Coli and S.Cerevisiae calibration).
About
RTS-8 and RTS-8 plus are personal bioreactors that utilize patented Reverse-Spin® technology that applies non-invasive, mechanically driven, low energy consumption, innovative type of agitation where cell suspension is mixed by the single-use falcon bioreactor tube rotation around its axis with a change of direction of rotation motion resulting in highly efficient mixing and oxygenation for aerobic cultivation. Combined with near-infrared, fluorescence, and luminescence measurement systems, it is possible to register cell growth kinetics, pH, and O2 non-invasively in real time. For pH and O2, innovative single-use sensor spots are used inside the tubes.
Although O2 supply is one of the major issues in the cultivation of aerobic organisms, especially in oxygen-limited conditions, adequate methods for real monitoring of dissolved oxygen were missing, and sufficient O2 supply was usually assumed. Innovative non-invasive oxygen sensors integrated in falcon tubes now enable online oxygen monitoring and give new insights into metabolic activities. The pH is one of the major issues in the cultivation of cells, yeast, or bacteria. Cultivation vessels that are sensor-limited are widely applied in academic and industrial bioprocess development. As adequate methods for real monitoring of pH were not available, cumbersome at-line sampling was used lacking high data density and interfering with growth. Non-invasive real-time pH measurement provides new insights into metabolic activity and changes in metabolic pathways.

Benchmark™ Scientific QuEChERS Vortex Mixer
- For use with QuEChERS and other sample prep methods
- Powerful, hands-free shaking/vortexing
- Pulsing program for interval mixing
- Supplied with QuEChERS rack starter kit: 7 x 50 mL tubes, held horizontally 50 x 15 mL tubes, held vertically 50 x 1.5 / 2.0 mL tubes, held vertically
Benchmark's BenchMixer XLQ has been designed for use in QuEChERS and other sample prep methods. Supplied with racks for 50 mL tubes held horizontally and 15 mL and 1.5 / 2.0 mL tubes held vertically, it takes the place of traditional manual shaking in these applications.
Multiple samples can be processed simultaneously in the BenchMixer XLQ's large capacity racks, saving time and preventing operator fatigue. The vigorous, consistent shaking ensures all samples are exposed to identical conditions within the same batch of samples, as well as between batches.
The BenchMixer™ XLQ creates a true vortex in vertical sample racks by holding the top of the tube stationary while the bottom rotates in a 3.6 mm orbit. Time and speed are precisely controlled by the digital microprocessor. A pulse mode allows for more vigorous mixing. Quiet operation, minimal vibration and a long service life are guaranteed by the precisely balanced drive system and powerful motor.
Using the BenchMixer™ XLQ is simple. To load the sample racks, loosen the knobs on the stationary steel rods and raise the top sample plate. One rod is shorter than the other, allowing the plate to be lifted up and swiveled to one side. After samples are loaded, lower the plate into place and tighten the knobs. Select the desired speed and run time on the digital control panel and press start. The BenchMixer™ XLQ can perform unattended mixing for as little as 1 minute or up to 100 hours.
While the BenchMixer™ XLQ is configured primarily for QuEChERS protocols, additional racks are available to accommodate nearly any type of vessel commonly found in the laboratory (ask for details). Built for heavy-duty use, the instrument carries a 2-year warranty.
*Additional Racks or Replacement Racks available. Call for details or search our website for the BV1010.
