VWR Model 200 Laboratory Benchtop Rocking Platform

VWR Model 200 Benchtop Rocking Platform (Standard Tilt Rocker). A compact, low-profile laboratory benchtop platform rocker engineered to deliver gentle, uniform seesaw rocking motion for low-shear mixing, gel staining, and cell culture agitation.

Used; excellent condition; smooth rocking operation.

• MPN / Model Line: Model 200 Rocking Platform (VWR Benchtop Shakers & Rockers)
• Manufacturer & Line: VWR (Avantor) / Troemner Talboys Series Benchtop Mixers
• Motion Profile: Smooth, wave-free back-and-forth seesaw rocking action designed to provide uniform fluid coverage across vessels without foaming or shear-induced cellular damage
• Tilt Angle & Speed Range: Fixed tilt angle (typically nominal ~7° to 10°) with adjustable variable speed regulation (approx. 5 to 50 RPM), facilitating optimal agitation control for both rapid washing and delicate incubation
• Platform Surface & Mat: Features an integrated non-slip, chemical-resistant textured rubber mat that secures culture flasks, blot trays, petri dishes, and microplates in place during continuous operation without requiring clamps
• Drive Mechanism & Duty Rating: Continuous-duty, microprocessor- or analog-controlled direct electronic drive motor ensuring steady, quiet motion even under full load capacity
• Load Capacity: Solid platform construction engineered to support distributed loads up to 10–15 lbs (approx. 4.5–6.8 kg) without motor strain or speed fluctuation
• Environmental Tolerance: Safe for continuous operation in cold rooms, ambient laboratory spaces, and standard non-CO₂ incubators (operating temperature range typically 5°C to 40°C, non-condensing)
• Primary Application: Western blot membrane washing and antibody incubation, agarose and polyacrylamide gel staining/destaining (Coomassie blue, silver stain), Northern and Southern hybridization washes, cell culture aeration in multi-well plates, and blood tube mixing
