The Boekel 260450 Mini Tube benchtop analog rocker uses 100/240V at a fixed speed of 18rpm, and has a fixed tilt angle of 35˚, an on/off power switch with safety-stop feature, a speed control knob, and a silicon rubber tube mat. The rocking action of this shaker provides an up and down seesaw motion. The unit is tolerant to temperatures between 4 to 40˚C for operation in a cold room or incubator and provides for uniform mixing with a gentle rocking motion. An on/off power switch and a fixed speed and tilt angle simplify operation. In the event that the platform becomes obstructed, the safety-stop feature automatically stops unit rocking and reverses the platform motion to stop at a resting position. The platform holds up to eight 120mm long tubes on a silicon rubber tube mat (included). The rocker operates with AC power using the included adapter. Laboratory shakers are used in many analytic procedures, including drug analysis, water pollution analysis, and hemolysis.

Laboratory shakers agitate liquids during laboratory procedures. These devices can be analog or digital and are typically an automated, electrically powered, countertop unit that shakes liquid in lab containers, such as flasks, funnels, or test tubes. Some shakers can operate inside fume hoods, incubators, refrigerators, or other laboratory devices, and can include controls for the frequency and/or degree of movement. The types of shakers include: orbital, rocking, rolling, rotating, and wrist action. The most common orbital shaker provides a smooth, continuous, circular motion, sometimes with a tilt angle, for uniform mixing of contents. The rocking shaker creates gentle uniform mixing with a see-saw, or up and down, motion. Reciprocating, or rolling, shakers provide a horizontal side-to-side motion with simple agitation of samples. A rotating, or rotisserie, shaker provides samples with a rotating action that moves in a circular motion. Wrist-action shakers duplicate the effect of hand mixing with "arms" on each side of the unit. Some shakers have the ability to incubate or refrigerate samples while providing shaking action.
