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.
Orbit™ 1000 Digital Orbital Shaker
Â
Four platform configurations allow the Orbit™ 1000 Digital Orbital Shaker to meet a variety of shaking and mixing applications. Single and double flat platforms hold trays, plates, and dishes. The double platform allows for expansion of the shaker capacity without increasing the footprint. The universal platform has spring-loaded bars that adjust to fit flasks, bottles, tube racks, and odd-shaped containers. Pre-drilled to hold Erlenmeyer clamps (clamps sold separately), the flask platform is ideal for mixing and growing cultures. Platforms are removable and interchangeable.
- Four available platform configurations
- Mid-range orbit for excellent culture aeration
- Compact construction for incubator use
- Solid and heavy duty
At the heart of the Orbit™ 1000 is a powerful brushless motor and counterbalanced shaker mechanism that provides smooth operation and years of trouble-free use. Speed and time are set with an analog knob, while the set and current values are displayed digitally. Speed is adjustable over a broad range to allow for applications such as staining and destaining gels, growth of bacterial cultures, and hybridization. The Orbit™ 1000 Digital Shaker is safe for use in temperature-controlled environments. Its small footprint and low profile make it ideal for use in incubators. Platforms are sold separately.

Benchmark™ Orbi-Shaker™Â 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
Â
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%.
Â
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.

Grant Bio Personal Multi-Channel Bioreactors -Â RTS-8 and RTS-8-PLUSÂ
Â
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).
Â
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.
Â
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.
