DescriptionThe Programmable Rotator Multi Bio RS-24 integrates vertical rotation, reciprocal (rocking) rotation and vibratory motion within one compact module. Microprocessor control allows independent, paired or cyclic execution of the three motion types and enables fine tuning of mixing protocols to specific laboratory tasks.
Applications- Hybridization reactions
- Cell culture and gentle mixing for cell growth applications
- Soft extraction and homogenization of biological samples in solution
- Binding and washing of magnetic particles; gel washing and general sample preparation
Operation and environmentThe unit is suitable for use in cold rooms and incubators at ambient temperatures from +4°C to +40°C. External low-voltage DC supply (12 V) increases electrical safety in humid environments. The device supports continuous operation and includes audible timer signaling for process control.
Platform stop mode and plane settingIn stop mode the platform halts without an extra turnover and remains in the horizontal plane. The oscillation plane can be set so the platform moves either vertically or horizontally, depending on the chosen protocol.
