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.

Superior Mixing Action For Gels & Blots.
- Heated lid prevents condensation
- Accepts plates up to 40 mm high
- Independently control time, temperature and speed
- Available in two-plate (IM6002) or four plate format (IM6004)
The new Incu-Mixer MP series is designed to provide an optimal method for vortexing and incubating microplates. Simultaneous heating from both the bottom plate and the heated lid provide temperature uniformity throughout the sample. Additionally, the heated lid minimizes evaporation and prevents condensation. A compact, 2 mm orbit ensures thorough mixing in microplates without splashing. Speed, time and temperature are all displayed in real time on the large LCD screen while an internal validation system constantly monitors all parameters for accuracy.
Designed for application flexibility, the Incu-Mixer series is available in two, and four-plate capacities, both capable of accepting all standard plates up to 40 mm high. Independent time, temperature and speed controls allow the mixer to function as 3 machines in one; a multi-plate incubator, vortexer, or a combination of the two. The Incu-Mixer MP series is ideal for a wide variety of molecular biology applications including immunochemical reactions, enzyme and protein analysis, and micro array analysis.

Key features of the Blot Bot include:
- Automated delivery and removal of buffers/reagents
- Dispense and recover different antibodies or reagents in each tray
- Only 3.5mL or reagent per blot 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 (and 30 day money back guarantee)
The Freedom Rocker BlotBot is an automated blot processor which allows the user to incubate and wash samples unattended allowing for overnight assays.
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, insuring consistency.
Simply dispense individual reagents (in volumes as low as 3.5mL) into appropriate tray and recover separately. This allows 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.
Two tray and four tray models available.

BenchWaver™ 3-D Rocker
- Adjustable speed & tilt for a wide range of applications
- Large 13 x 13.5 in. work surface
- Insta-TILT™ technology for instant adjustment to the tilt angle
- Dual platform accessory doubles work surface
- Cold room and incubator safe
The BenchWaver™ combines the basic rocking motion of traditional platform rockers with the circular motion of orbital shakers. This combination is ideal for generating the optimum 3-dimensional undulating motion commonly preferred for molecular biology applications.
The tilt angle is instantly adjustable from 0 to 10 ° and the mixing speed can be adjusted from 5 to 105 rpm, using the large, user-friendly LCD control panel. Combined control of both parameters (tilt and speed) makes the BenchWaver™ a versatile workhorse that can provide anything from gentle, slow-moving waves to rapid more vigorous motion. Additionally, the time of operation can be selected from 1 minute up to 99 hours for continuous operation.
The large 13.5 X 13 inch platform is supplied complete with a non-slip rubber mat. An optional stacking platform is available for users requiring additional mixing capacity. BenchWaver™ is a reliable and versatile instrument and can be used in refrigerated or incubated environments, from +2°C to +60 °C.

Benchmark™ Orbi-Shaker CO2™
- For optimal growth of suspension cells
- Designed for use in CO2 incubators
- CO2, temperature, and humidity compatible
- Remote controllable - adjust settings without opening the incubator door
- Change flask clamps instantly with MAGic Clamp™ magnetic platforms
- 2-year warranty
The new Orbi-Shaker CO2™ resistant shaker is designed for shaking, mixing, and aeration applications in extreme environments, including CO2 incubators. It can withstand temperatures from 0-60°C, humidity levels up to 100%, and won't corrode in a CO2 environment.
To avoid contamination, unintentional release of gas, or deviations from protocol, both speed and time are set via the included remote-control module. The remote controller allows the user to set and adjust the shaker settings without opening the chamber doors.
The instrument is supplied with a 13"x12" non-slip platform. In addition, convenient MAGic Clamp™ platforms (large or small), are also available for use with Erlenmeyer flasks and test tube racks. The unique magnetic attachment method has been widely recognized as the easiest way to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes.
Orbi-Shaker™ XL
The Orbi-Shaker™ XL offers a flask capacity that far exceeds that of most benchtop models. With a large 18 x 18 inch platform and a powerful, beltless motor drive, the Orbi-Shaker™ XL is capable of mixing up to five 2 L flasks or nine 1 L flasks simultaneously. The included, non-slip rubber mat platform is ideal for low-speed applications, while the convenient MAGic Clamp™ platform is also available for high-speed mixing of Erlenmeyer flasks, tube racks, or microplates. The MAGic Clamp™ allows for instant flask clamp exchange without the use of tools, screws, or any other hardware.
A remote control is included to allow for setting adjustments of time or mixing speed without opening the door and disrupting the CO2 environment. The remote module can be stored outside of the chamber and connects to the shaker via a flat (1 mm thickness) cable, that easily passes through a port underneath the incubator door without compromising the seal. The remote module is magnetically attached to the side of the incubator.
Benchmark™ Incu-Shaker™ CO2 Mini
- Six-side direct heating for excellent uniformity and recovery
- Integral, MAGic Clamp™ orbital shaker, ideal for suspension cell culture
- Dual Beam IR sensor, for precise CO2 control
- Stackable design with a belt-less motor that limits vibration and provides a smooth, consistent shaking motion
- Stainless steel chamber with rounded corners for easy cleaning
Ideal for the culturing of non-adherent cells, the Incu-Shaker™ CO2 Mini combines a precision CO2 incubation chamber with an integral orbital shaker, providing the optimum conditions for suspension cell culture.
With our unique and proprietary heat distribution technology, the incubator provides the highest levels of temperature accuracy with minimal fluctuation (within 0.1°C). The six-side heating system in combination with a low-speed internal fan uniformly spreads air throughout the stainless steel chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). For applications requiring solely gravity convection, this internal fan can be disabled, significantly reducing the concern of sample-to-sample contamination.
A beltless motor drive provides a horizontally circular shaking motion at a consistent 19 mm orbit. The included platform (9.5 x 11.5 in.) can be used for low-speed shaking of a variety of laboratory vessels, including Erlenmeyer flasks, culture plates, and media bottles. For high-speed mixing, a patented MAGic Clamp™ platform is available that allows for magnetic attachment of flask clamps and tube racks.
