ActionsLab 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.
Efficient 3D Lab Shakers
The three-dimensional shaking motion of the GyroTwister GX-1000 is extremely efficient, yet gentle, making this shaker ideal for general mixing as well as staining gels, hybridization and other applications. Shaking speed is continuously adjustable across a broad range. A nonslip rubber mat and elastic tie-downs hold samples in place during operation. A dimpled mat is included for holding tubes in place. Larger platforms and a stacked standard platform configuration are available to increase shaker capacity.
GyroTwister 3D Shaker Product Features Include:
- Gyratory action provides gentle yet thorough mixing
- Hybridization, staining gels, immuno-staining and general mixing
- Safe for use in temperature-controlled environments
- Double platform and larger platforms available
Permanently lubricated ball bearings on moving parts provide quiet, maintenance-free operation. The sturdy base lends stability to the unit. The GyroTwister 3D shaker is safe for use in temperature-controlled environments, up to 65°C. Standard 30 x 30 cm platform and tube mat are supplied with the shaker,

The Labnet Economy Rockers, ProBlot 25 and 25XL, are basic rocking platforms that have been designed for a long life and trouble-free service.
Rocker speed is adjustable to provide the gentle motion required for staining fragile gels as well as the more vigorous action necessary for washing blots. The rocking movement is fixed at ±7°.
The platform surfaces are covered with nonslip rubber pads to prevent objects from moving during operation. Elastic tie downs are available to secure in place bags, boxes, tubes and other containers. The platform assemblies pivot on permanently lubricated ball bearings for quiet, maintenance-free operation. The ProBlot 25 platform measures 28.9 x 20.3 cm, while the ProBlot 25XL platform is slightly larger at 30 x 30 cm. For increasing the work area without sacrificing valuable bench space, a second platform can be stacked on the first.
The ProBlot 25 and 25XL Rockers can be used safely in temperature controlled environments up to 85°C. Their low profile and compact size make them perfect for use in small incubators.

The GyroMini is a smaller version of our popular GyroTwister. Its small size makes it ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes.
Like the GyroTwister, the GyroMini combines the motions of an orbital shaker and a rocker to produce a three dimensional action. The result is a thorough yet gentle mixing without foaming. Both the speed and tilt angle of this small shaker are fixed to provide the optimal level of agitation for mixing samples in small containers.
The GyroMini is supplied with a dimpled mat for holdidng tubes firmly in place. For temperature sensitive samples, the GyroMini can be used in a cold room.

- Shake and incubate samples simultaneously
- Complete with shaking racks for 15ml and 50ml conical tubes
- Intelligent, digital control
- Broad temperature and speed range
Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 1550 is supplied with interchangeable platforms for standard 15ml and 50ml conical tubes. Maximum capacity is 8 x 50mL or 18 x 15mL. Temperature in the VorTemp 1550 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures and digestions. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 1550 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 1550 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.
