Thermo Barnstead Labquake Rotator for Controlled Mixing and Hybridization

The Thermo Barnstead Labquake Rotator is a precision laboratory rotation shaker engineered for consistent mixing, hybridization, and blotting applications. Operating at a fixed speed of 8 rotations per minute (RPM), it provides reliable agitation critical in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology workflows such as gene editing sample prep, and bioprocessing protocols requiring homogeneous sample suspension.

Key features include:

• Temperature tolerance from 0° to 65°C, allowing seamless integration within incubators for temperature-sensitive applications.
• Compatible with conical tubes and hybridization bottles, facilitating liquid-liquid extractions, dialysis under agitation, and mixing of blood or particulate suspensions.
• Multiple bar lengths and load capacities to fit varied laboratory tube configurations:
• 15-inch bar supporting up to 32 clips (Model 415110)
• 8-inch bars supporting 14 clips (Model 400110) or 8 clips (Model 4002110)
• Compact footprint, suitable for space-constrained laboratory environments, measuring 18x4x6 inches or 11x4x5 inches depending on model.
• Low power consumption with 120V 50/60Hz operation at 0.1 amps.
• Robust design allows adding or removing tubes without interrupting rotation, enhancing workflow efficiency in high-throughput molecular biology labs.

This rotator is widely adopted in synthetic biology and biomedical research for applications requiring uniform sample agitation, such as hybridization protocols, live-cell imaging sample preparation, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its compatibility with incubators and precise speed control makes it essential for maintaining reproducibility in complex molecular cloning workflows and clinical diagnostics sample prep.

The Thermo Barnstead Labquake Rotator is a durable, high-precision instrument supporting advanced biotechnology research needs, including biomanufacturing process development and fluorescence analysis protocols. It integrates well into research settings focusing on cell imaging and protein analysis, providing consistent, reproducible rotation required in modern laboratory workflows.
