"We were told this would work fine in the cold room, but it would continually stop rolling. We had to send it back for service twice to get it working again, and when it stopped the third time, we simply put it away and never used it again. It did work fine at room temperature, but we purchased it specifically for the cold room."
Use for cell culture with standard roller bottles and in filter blot applications with hybridization bottles (below). Unit is supplied with six gear-driven rollers, to rotate three large bottles at variable speed, 0.25−8 rpm. Rollers can be moved closer together to accommodate small bottles and tubes, and up to five more rollers can be added; as many as thirty 10 × 75 mm tubes can be turned at 2−67 rpm. Unit is powered by a cool-running 24 VDC motor. Thin, flat AC power cord (US only) reaches external outlet without damaging incubator or refrigerator gasket.
