Shakers - Non Incubating - Stuart

SSM1

Smooth orbital shaking action
Orbit of 16mm is ideal for larger samples, for example multi well plates
Built-in digital timer
Variable speed control to 300rpm
Supplied with non-slip mat for multi-well plates etc.
Optional accessory cradle system for flasks and bottles

The compact SSM1 provides a smooth uniform circular motion with an orbit of 16mm. It is supplied with a non-slip mat that can hold up to four multi-well plates or diagnostic cards. The shaking action is ideal for samples of 0.5 to 5ml held in multi well plates, dishes and Petri dishes. 

The shaker can be used in incubators and environmental chambers (up to 40°C and 80% humidity). Alternatively, an accessory cradle system is available that can accommodate a variety of vessels including flasks, bottles or beakers via four rubber securing bars. It turns the SSM1 into a very effective mini platform shaker. It will hold up to: 4 x 250ml or 2 x 500ml or 1 x 1000ml Erlenmeyer 8 flasks or bottles. These larger vessels are held between the rubber bars. The flexible cradle system has the benefit that different combinations of vessels can be used offering maximum versatility. 
Speed is variable from 30 to 300 rpm. Once set on the digital display, the shaking speed is effectively maintained even over long periods of time. Shaking times can be set to run for 1 to 999 minutes on the built-in digital timer, or the unit can be set for continuous operation.
 

SSL1

The SSL1 has all the features of the SSM1 but in a larger unit. The SSL1 also comes complete with a cradle system, rather than a non slip mat, to comfortably hold flasks. The cradle type platform has four rubber cushioned horizontal securing bars with quick release handles. They can be easily adjusted both vertically and horizontally to hold most sizes and types of vessel, including flasks, bottles and beakers. For example, they will accommodate the following Erlenmeyer flasks or bottles: 12 x 250ml or 9 x 500ml or 6 x 1000ml or 2 x 2000ml.
The main advantage of this cradle system is that it can accommodate different sizes of vessel, a common requirement where shakers are used by different people in the laboratory

Rotary Evaporators - Stuart

Cold Finger Condenser - RE302 & RE302P

Simple, counterbalanced lift mechanism
PTFE/glass liquid pathway for chemical inertness
Sparkless induction motor
Long life graphite impregnated PTFE vacuum seal
Efficient flask and vapour tube ejection system

Rotary evaporators are distillation units that incorporate an efficient condenser with a rotary flask system. As the flask containing the solvent is rotated it continually transfers a thin layer of liquid over the entire inner surface. This gives a very large surface area for evaporation that is effected by heating from the accessory waterbath. The rotating system is fitted with a special seal that allows the apparatus to be placed under vacuum. This reduces the boiling point of the solvents and removes the vapour phase making the process much more efficient.
Each unit is also provided with an easy to use vacuum release and a continuous feed system, which allows more solvent to be drawn into the rotating Florentine flask without the need to stop the operation.

Rotary evaporator with cold finger glass condenser for use with ice or dry ice for volatile or low boiling solvents. No cooling water required. Unique drain to empty the large 1 litre trap very easily.

There is also a plastic coating option for extra safety when using the glassware under vacuum. It acts as a safety screen, contains the glassware pieces and gives the operator sufficient time to transfer any potentially dangerous chemicals to a suitable vessel without spillage.

RE302 Glass set consists of:
Cold finger condenser, drain for cold finger condenser, vapour tube for cold finger condenser, receiving flask 1000ml, Florentine flask 1000ml, feed tube with stopcock, vacuum seal, conical joint clip, spherical joint clip.

RE302P Glass set consists of:
Cold finger condenser plastic coated, drain for cold finger condenser, vapour tube for cold finger condenser, receiving flask 1000ml plastic coated, Florentine flask 1000ml plastic coated, feed tube with stopcock, vacuum seal, conical joint clip, spherical joint clip.

Shakers - Non Incubating - Stuart

High-speed vibrational mixing action - ideal for microtitre plates
Digital selection of speed
Personal sized SSM5 for mixing 4 plates simultaneously
Laboratory size SSL5 for mixing 8 plates simultaneously
Built-in digital timer or continuous operation
Accessories available for the mixing of microcentrifuge tubes

The SS:5 series of high-speed microtitre plate shaker are designed for the mixing of microtitre plates and microcentrifuge tubes. High speed combined with a tiny orbit creates a vigorous shaking action required for mixing small volumes contained within well plates and microcentrifuge tubes. Supplied with a highly effective non-slip mat, the mat will securely hold in place up to four microtitre plates. 

Speed is variable from 250 to 1,250 rpm and is easily set via the digital display in 10rpm increments. The built-in digital timer can be either set from 1 second to 90 minutes, 1 minute to 9 hours or in minutes only mode up to 9999 minutes for maximum versatility. The units can also be set for continuous operation. 

A choice of three accessory tube holders is available, designed to accommodate 1.5ml, 0.5ml and 0.2ml microcentrifuge tubes. Two tube holders can be used at any one time and are securely held in place by the non slip mat, turning the unit into an effective microtube mixer.

For samples requiring controlled temperature and/or humidity conditions, the SSM5 small footprint is ideal for placement inside CO2 incubators.

Homogenisers - Stuart

Laboratory Homogeniser - SHM2

Can be handheld or stand mounted
Variable motor speed 5,000 to 28,000rpm
Processing range from 0.03ml-2L
Powerful 700 watt motor

The Stuart® SHM2 with its 700 watt motor is incredibly powerful and versatile. The unit can handle virtually any processing application making it ideal for all homogenising applications such as tissue homogenisation, cell disruption, emulsions, suspensions and protein extraction and with the powerful motor especially suitable for tougher samples and larger volumes. The SHM2 can either be handheld for quick processes or securely stand mounted with a direct connection to the SHM/STAND.

The SHM2 can accommodate a selection of stainless steel probes for larger and tougher samples and also our polycarbonate disposable probes. Disposable probes are suitable for hard tissues and ideal where cross contamination is of concern. If necessary disposable probes can be easily dismantled and autoclaved up to seven times.

Through careful selection of probe type samples of 0.03ml to 20L can be processed.

Homogenisers - Stuart

Handheld Homogeniser - SHM1 

Ergonomic design
Variable motor speed 5,000 to 35,000rpm
Processing range from 0.03ml-100ml
Can be used with robust polycarbonate disposable probes or stainless steel ones

The Stuart® SHM1 is a powerful, variable speed, homogeniser. The high-speed, high-torque motor makes the unit ideal for most homogenising applications. During operation the rotor shaft, which is directly coupled to the motor, spins at up to 35,000rpm. The tube assembly that fits around the shaft remains static and as the rotor shaft spins, within the tube assembly, it creates a pumping action drawing the sample into the open end of the tube, or probe, and forcing it through the windows at the bottom of the tube assembly. This shearing action reduces the particle size of the sample. In addition the speed differential between the rapidly moving rotor, and the static tube assembly creates cavitational force, further dismantling the sample to additionally reduce particle size.

The SHM1 is lightweight making it comfortable to use, and most samples can be processed within thirty seconds. For longer processing the unit can be stand mounted using the included post clamp assembly. A retort stand is available separately.

The SHM1 can accommodate a selection of stainless steel probes for larger and tougher samples and also our polycarbonate disposable probes. Disposable probes are suitable for hard tissues and ideal where cross contamination is of concern. If necessary disposable probes can be easily dismantled and autoclaved up to seven times. Through careful selection of probe type, samples of 0.03ml to 100ml can be processed.
