Thermo Scientific Digital Waving Rotator 5-120 rpm Range

Thermo Scientific Digital Waving Rotator, 5 to 120 RPM, 120V (88882003)

The Thermo Scientific Digital Waving Rotator (88882003) is a precision benchtop fluid-mixing instrument designed to provide smooth, continuous 3D wave motion for low-foaming agitation in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical diagnostics. Operating across a broad speed range of 5 to 120 RPM with a fixed tilt angle of 6°, this compact rotator delivers uniform, gentle wave action ideal for gel staining/destaining, membrane washing during Western blots, hybridization protocols, and blood sample incubation. Featuring a bright digital control panel, programmable timer, and a brushless motor designed for maintenance-free continuous operation, the 88882003 accommodates a variety of microplates, culture dishes, and assay trays while maintaining strict speed consistency even under changing load conditions.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• 3D Waving Motion Matrix: Combines orbital and vertical tilting motions to generate a smooth, circular wave that thoroughly coats membranes and gel surfaces without creating excessive turbulence or foam.
• Microprocessor Digital Speed & Time Control: Offers precise digital setting of rotational speed in 1 RPM increments and programmable timing up to 99 hours and 59 minutes (or continuous run mode).
• Smooth Brushless DC Drive Engine: Delivers quiet, maintenance-free rotation with soft start-up and ramp-down profiles to prevent liquid splashing out of open vessels.
• Dimpled Rubber Mat Included: Features a removable, non-skid rubber mat that securely holds culture tubes, blood collection tubes, and microplates in place during operation.
• Incubator & Cold Room Compatible: Designed to operate reliably in environmental chambers, CO2 incubators, and cold rooms ranging from 4°C to 60°C.
