Shakers
These shakers are engineered to create homogenous mixtures in any laboratory procedure. Capable of holding instruments without spilling the contained gels or blotted membranes, the devices operate gently, yet effectively. Shakers and mixers are ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes, as well as performing immunoassays and general microplate shaking. Easy-to-read displays feature time and speed, and timers can be set for pre-defined times to shut off after a certain countdown.
VWR®, Multi-Tube Vortexers
Supplier: VWR Collection
Designed to hold multiple test tubes, test tube racks, vials or cylinders. Vortexing action is created by securing the top of the vessel in place while allowing the bottom to move freely in a defined orbit. Two stainless steel posts hold the support plate securely in place for quiet, rattle-free mixing. The support plate is easily adjustable by loosening knobs and moving the support plate up and down. The circular groove around the top of the taller post allows the support plate to be swung away from the tray for easy removal of samples. The suction cup feet dampen motion and prevent the unit from moving along the work bench. Made from stainless steel with corrosion resistant paint. Equipped with a powerful, permanent magnet motor with sealed ball bearings. Motor is rated for continuous duty.

VWR®, Tube Rotator
Supplier: VWR Collection
A unique design of rotator makes this unit suitable for a wide range of mixing applications in biochemistry, molecular biology and histochemistry. The rotisserie assemblies allow for mixing tubes vertically, horizontally, or any position in between, therefore, gentle mixing, using a horizontal position is easily accommodated for applications such as hybridisation. Alternatively rotation with vertically positioned tubes produces a tumbling motion suitable for mixing samples in blood tubes. The two halves of the rotisserie can be adjusted independently of each other to increase versatility and facilitate optimisation of mixing.
