Ideally sized for personal use, the Grant-bio PS-3D platform rotator provides a smooth 3D orbital motion for mixing in tubes, culture flasks, dishes and boxes over the speed range 5 to 60 rpm.

The gentle movement is ideal for staining and destaining of gels without destroying the gel edges, or for keeping fragile tissue intact during incubations. The 3D motion provides very effective sample coverage, for efficient mixing with a reduced quantity of solution.

The PS-3D is small but highly functional, with a low profile and small footprint, fitting neatly into the smallest workspace. The reliable motor produces regulated and reproducible rotating throughout the speed range and, combined with the sturdy construction, will guarantee years of consistent operation. It is also extremely quiet.

• Simple speed adjustment – from 5 to 60 rpm
• Robust drive mechanism provides enhanced reliability – capable of 7 days continuous operation
• 210 x 210 mm platform accommodates most commonly used vessels.
• Fixed 7° tilt angle
• Loads up to 1 kg
• The gentle movement is ideal for staining gels without destroying the gel edges, or for keeping fragile tissue intact during incubations.
• Smooth, reliable, extremely quiet motor; low power consumption
• Smooth, non-slip mat supplied as standard – prevents vessels from slipping
• Compact, sturdy construction with a low profile and small footprint – fits neatly into the smallest workspace.
• A low voltage power supply provides for safe cold room operation and low energy consumption.
• Ambient operation temperature range +4°C to 40°C

Applications

Suitable for gentle mixing applications in many different fields, with specific applications including gel staining and destaining, antibody staining, washes, hybridisations, immuno precipitations, Southern blots, Western blots, in situs. The 3D motion provides very effective sample coverage, for efficient mixing with a reduced quantity of solution.

Ideally sized for personal use, the Grant bio PS-M3D multifunction rotator provides all that is required for thorough mixing in flasks, dishes, petri dishes and boxes:

• 3D rotation – creating long wave motion, best for mixing large particles
• reciprocal 3D rotation – creating long and medium wave motion, best for mixing medium and large particles
• vibration – short wave motion, best for mixing small particles

All actions may be set for continuous or timed operation, and individual phases may be linked together for absolute operational flexibility.

• 3D rotation, reciprocation and vibration functions all in one product
• 3D rotation speed: 1 to 100 rpm
• Reciprocal 3D rotation: 1 to 360° turning angle
• Vibration: 1 to 6° turning angle, programmable in a burst of 1 to 5 seconds
• Fully programmable sequence of functions
• Loads up to 1.0 kg
• Very easy to operate, with simple set-up of multi-segment programs via push buttons and the 2-line LCD status display
• Compact, with a low profile and small footprint, and extremely quiet in operation – fits neatly and unobtrusively into the workspace
• Smooth, non-slip mat supplied as standard – prevents vessels from slipping
• All actions – rotation, reciprocation and vibration – can be set for continuous or timed operation, or linked together in different combinations to ensure optimum mixing conditions for your application
• Reliable stepper motor and sturdy construction will deliver years of consistent performance
• Ambient operating temperature range of 4 to 40°C allows use in cold room or incubator.

Applications

Suitable for mixing applications in many different fields, with specific applications including: immuno precipitations and other affinity matrix applications, treatment of adherent tissue culture in small volumes, e.g. for trypsinisation, gel staining and destaining, antibody staining, washes, hybridisations, Southern blots, western blots, in situs.
