Product Description
IBI Scientific Hi/Lo Rocker
Heavy-Duty Adjustable Rocking Platform (115V)
The IBI Scientific Hi/Lo Rocker (SKU: ROCLS0003) is a heavy-duty, versatile laboratory rocker designed for reliability in a wide range of environments. Engineered to withstand extreme conditions, it operates flawlessly in cold rooms at 0°C and in ovens up to 65°C, as well as in high-humidity CO2 incubators. Its robust mechanism allows for continuous usage, making it an essential tool for time-sensitive applications such as staining and destaining gels, Northern and Southern hybridizations, Western blotting, and rinsing membranes.
Maximized Workspace: 4-Level Configuration
Unlike standard rockers, this specific model (ROCLS0003) is configured for high-throughput laboratories. It includes the base unit plus 3 Additional Platforms, creating a 4-tier system that quadruples the available workspace without increasing the benchtop footprint. Each 12" x 12" platform is equipped with a non-slip white silicone mat, ensuring that culture flasks, petri dishes, and blotting boxes remain secure during agitation.
Incubator-Ready with Flat Power Cord
A standout feature of the Hi/Lo Rocker is its specialized thin, flat power cord. This design allows the unit to be plugged into external outlets while sitting inside an incubator or refrigerator, passing the cord through the door gasket without breaking the seal. This prevents fluctuations in temperature or CO2 levels, protecting sensitive cell cultures. The low-profile design also ensures it fits easily between incubator shelves.
Precision Control & Heavy-Duty Motor
The unit offers exceptional control over agitation dynamics. Users can adjust the speed from 0 to 22 RPM and the tilt angle from 2° to 11° in just 15 seconds, allowing for a seamless transition from gentle wave motion to vigorous mixing. Powered by a heavy-duty motor, the rocker maintains smooth, consistent motion with "no cogging" even at low speeds, supporting a total load of up to 20 lbs.
- Complete High-Capacity Kit: Comes standard with 3 additional platforms (4 levels total) for maximum efficiency.
- Versatile Environment Compatibility: Safe for use in cold rooms (0°C), CO2 incubators, and ovens up to 65°C.
- Smart Power Design: Features a flat power cord to preserve incubator door seals and internal environments.
- Fully Adjustable Motion: Mechanical tilt (2°-11°) and speed (0-22 RPM) can be adjusted in seconds for customized protocols.
- Robust Load Capacity: Designed to handle up to 20 lbs (9 kg) of total weight.
