Electrothermal RS9000 Heater/Shaker by Bibby Scientific

The RS 9000 Heater/Shaker Reaction Station can be used within a robotic workstation or as a stand-alone apparatus within the lab.

On a robotic platform, heating and shaking cycles can be controlled by external software or as part of a fully automated system; for standalone use, there is the additional option of controlling heating and shaking cycles via the user-friendly touchscreen.

The touchscreen panel enables the temperature and shaking speeds to be changed using up/down arrows and the actual values are clearly displayed on a high definition LCD display which has an anti-glare coating. The LCD display is cool blue to be visible in both bright and dim lighting conditions, without deleteriously affecting light-sensitive chemicals. The touchscreen has a laminated toughened glass panel that is chemically resistant to most solvents.

Key features:

• Very versatile as reaction blocks can be inter-changed to accommodate different vessels and tray formats
• Control via touchscreen or externally via RS232/ RS485/ GSIOC ports
• Operates over a temperature range of ambient +5°C to 150°C
• Agitation speed of 100-600rpm
• Optional temperature probe
• Auto-park feature enables use on robotic platforms
• Soft start ramping to minimise splashing
• Very safe to operate
• Designed for reliable, continuous 24 hour heating and agitation
