Description

Rockers work in a similar way to platform shakers (see below) but are much less aggressive
on the sample. Rockers utilise either a see saw action, where the platform rocks on a
central point, or a softer 3D gyratory action where the platform moves in a three
dimensional motion about the central point. A see saw action provides a wave motion in the
sample, ideal for washing. A 3D gyratory action very gently swirls the sample making it ideal
for delicate cell culturing, staining and de-staining procedures etc. In some cases a tier
system is available where magnetic platforms can be stacked to increase capacity, without
increasing the footprint
