Cole-Parmer® SH-200 Series Rockers & Shakers

Cole-Parmer® SH-200 Series Rockers & Shakers

Shaker Types:

 Shakers
• Orbital - platform moves in a circular motion providing a swirling action ideal for aeration
• Reciprocating - platform moves aggressively back and forth horizontally making it ideal for applications such as extractions
• Microtiter (Microplate) - specifically designed to provide a fast-mixing action about a tight orbit

Rockers – like platform shakers but much less aggressive on the sample
• See-Saw - platform rocks on a central point providing a wave motion, ideal for washing
• Gyro (3D) - platform moves in a three-dimensional motion around central point gently swirling samples. Ideal for cell culturing, staining and de-staining

Cole-Parmer® See-saw Rockers - SH-200D-S, SH-200D-S-L

Key Features:  • Small space saving design - ideal for personal use • Gentle See-saw rocking action • Incubator safe • Digital speed control and built-in timer • Optional tier system available to increase capacity

The Cole-Parmer® models have a see-saw rocking action that creates a wave motion within vessels such as culture flasks, Petri dishes etc. Digital selection of both speed and time facilitates accurate and reproducible conditions. Both parameters are controlled via an easy to use control dial and displayed on the bright LED display.

Both models are supplied with a non-slip mat which holds flat based vessels securely in place during mixing. An accessory tier system can be fitted in seconds, without the need for tools, tripling the available space for samples. Each tier is securely held in place by magnets.

Cole-Parmer® Linear shaker - SH-200D-R

Key Features: • Linear shaking action – ideal for aeration applications • Digital speed selection to 250rpm with soft start • Built-in digital timer • Reliable quiet drive mechanism • Fully adjustable cradle system

The Cole-Parmer® linear shaker has a powerful yet quiet shaking mechanism that has been designed for problem free continuous use. Model SH-200D-R provides a linear reciprocating
shaking action with an amplitude of 20mm and speed range of 20 to 250rpm, ideal for extractions. It can be used in environmental chambers and CO2 incubators.

The cradle type platform has four rubber cushioned horizontal securing bars with quick release handles. They can be easily adjusted both vertically and horizontally to hold most sizes and
types of vessel, including flasks, bottles and beakers. For example, they will accommodate the following Erlenmeyer flasks or bottles: 12 x 250ml or 9 x 500ml or 4 x 1000ml or 2 x 2000ml. The main advantage of this cradle system is that it can accommodate different sizes of vessel, a common requirement where shakers are used by different people in the laboratory. Speed is fully variable and is set digitally for consistency. The speed is microprocessor controlled and accurately maintained even over long runs. A digital built-in timer allows shaking times from 1 to 999 minutes to be set. After the timer has counted down, the shaker stops and sounds an alert. Alternatively the unit can be set for continuous operation.

Cole-Parmer® Gyratory rockers - SH-200D-G and SH-200D-G-L

Key Features:  • Large platform rockers – ideal for multiple users • Gentle rocking action • Choice of two models: 3D gyratory action SH-200D-G and SH-200D-G-L • Digital speed control and built-in timer • Optional tier system available to increase capacity (see main image)

These Cole-Parmer® rockers have large platforms able to accommodate multiple samples, ideal for a busy lab. They are very quiet in operation and designed to be on continuously. Two models are available: Model SH-200D-G (Medium size) and model Model SH-200D-G-L (Large size) provide a 3D gyratory motion, ideal for low foaming agitation, DNA extractions, staining and de-staining procedures etc. The angle of tilt can be moved to any position by hand to optimise the mixing of vessels. Rockers are often used in conjunction with incubators and environmental chambers available from Cole-Parmer®. Both units can be used in temperatures up to 40°C and humidity up to 80%. Both models are supplied with a nonslip mat and have digital selection of both speed and time making them very easy to operate. An accessory tier system can be fitted in seconds, without the need for tools, tripling the available space for samples. Each tier is securely held in place by magnets.

Cole-Parmer® Microplate Shaker - SH-200D-M, SH-200D-M-L

These Cole-Parmer® compact shaker microplates are ideal where gentle mixing is required, either on the bench or in incubators. With the combination of high speed and a tiny orbit the SH-200D range has an ideal action for mixing microtitre plates and microcentrifuge tubes. It is available as a small unit that can receive up to 4 plates or as a large unit that can receive up
to 8 plates. Microtitre plates are held to the platform by a highly efficient non slip mat.

The SH-200D range has adjustable speed control between 250 and 1250rpm, the speed is shown via the bright LED display and accurately controlled by an encoder. The versatile timer can be set from 1 second to 9 hours. The unit can also be set for continuous operation.
 
Cole-Parmer® Orbital Shakers - SH-200D-O and SH-200D-O-L

Key Features: • Smooth orbital shaking action • Orbit of 16mm is ideal for larger samples • Built-in digital timer • Variable speed control to 300rpm • Large shaker is supplied with cradle system and small shaker with flat and no-slip mat

SH-200D-O

The Cole-Parmer® compact SH-200D-O provides a smooth uniform circular motion with an orbit of 16mm. It is supplied with flat platform and non-slip mat. The shaking action is ideal for samples of 0.5 to 5ml held in multi well plates, dishes and Petri dishes. The shaker can be used in incubators and environmental chambers (up to 40°C and 80% humidity). Alternatively, an accessory cradle system is available that can accommodate a variety of vessels including flasks, bottles or beakers via four rubber securing bars. It turns the SH-200D-O into a very effective mini platform shaker. It will hold up to: 4 x 250ml or 2 x 500ml or 1 x 1000ml Erlenmeyer flasks or bottles. The flexible cradle system has the benefit that different combinations of vessels can be used offering maximum versatility. Speed is variable from 30 to 300 rpm. Once set on the digital display, the shaking speed is effectively maintained even over long periods of time. Shaking times can be set to run for 1 to 999 minutes on the built-in digital timer, or the unit can be set for continuous operation.

SH-200D-O-L

The SH-200D-O-L has all the features of the SH-200D-O but in a larger unit. The SH-200D-O-L comes complete with a cradle system, rather than a non slip mat, to comfortably hold flasks. The cradle type platform has six rubber cushioned horizontal securing bars with quick release handles. They can be easily adjusted both vertically and horizontally to hold most sizes and types of vessel, including flasks, bottles and beakers. For example, they will accommodate the following Erlenmeyer flasks or bottles: 12 x 250ml or 9 x 500ml or 4 x 1000ml or 2 x 2000ml. The main advantage of this cradle system is that it can accommodate different sizes of vessel, a common requirement where shakers are used by different people in the laboratory.
