3. General Description

Stuart shakers and rockers are ideal instruments
for mixing and aerating various biological and
chemical samples in the laboratory. All models
have digital setting of both speed and an
adjustable digital timer that automatically stops
after the set time (1 to 9999 minutes, 1 second
to 90 minutes or 1 minute to 9 hours). The SSM
range comprise of personal units with a small
footprint while the SSL is the larger labscale
equivalent.
Model SSM1 and SSL1 provides a smooth
uniform circular motion with an orbit of 16mm.
Speed range is 30 to 300rpm. Max load 3kg and
10kg respectively.
Model SSL2 has a side-to-side
reciprocating action ideal for vigorous
shaking applications. Speed range is 25 to
250rpm. Max load 10kg*.
IMPORTANT
* Maximum speed with 10kg load is 200rpm.
Maximum load for a speed setting of 250rpm is
5kg.
Model SSM3 and SSL3 provides a 3D gyratory
motion, ideal for low foaming agitation, DNA
extractions, staining and de-staining procedures
etc. Speed range is 5 to 70 rpm. Max load 3kg
and 10kg respectively. The angle of tilt can be
adjusted manually, without the need for tools,
between 3 and 12° (see section 4.6 for
instructions).
Model SSM4 and SSL4 have a see-saw rocking
action that creates a wave motion within vessels
such as culture flasks, Petri dishes etc. Speed
