The Next Rocker family

Pictured from left to right: Next Rocker Pro with Tier 2 stacking tray; Next Rocker Stack-3; Next Rocker XL; and Next Rocker Mini. Not shown: Next Rocker Stack-4.

The NEXT ROCKERS are a family of very quiet and rugged laboratory platform rockers at affordable prices.

> Rugged

> Super Quiet

> High Value

> Risk Free

Ideal for gel staining and destaining, blotting, cell culture, hybridization, washing, etc.

> Adjustable Tilt Angle

The user can easily adjust the maximum tilt angle, from ±1 to ±18°.

> Three Platform Sizes

These rockers (rocking shakers) come in models with: 8 x 9, 11 x 14, and 20 x 16 inch (20 x 23, 28 x 36, and 51 x 41 cm) platforms.

> Stacking Trays

Removable TIER 2 stacking trays double the support surface area. The trays just snap onto the platform and their spring loaded legs hold them securely in place.

> Triple and Quadruple Deckers

Stack 3 and Stack 4 versions provide 3 or 4 times as much capacity.  The 3 or 4 platforms each tilt about their own axis.

 

You will never have to buy a replacement rocker.  If the Next Rocker motor burns out after years of use, we will refurbish your rocker for only $150.

> Rugged Construction

This rocker is built very solidly in the USA, with a stainless steel platform and front panel and a heavy gauge enclosure. A top grade Pittman instrument motor drives the rocking and a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit controls the rocking speed.

> Extremely Quiet Operation

There are no quieter rockers on the market.  The Next Rockers are incredibly quiet due to their high quality motor and vibration isolation mounts inside the unit.

> Excellent Value

These rockers are an excellent value.  Rockers comparable to the Next Rockers sell for hundreds of dollars more.  Such low prices are possible due to the simple, reliable design,  Next Advance’s efficient manufacturing, and direct marketing over the internet. 

Will the motor burn out?  Yes, after years of use.  If it does, we will refurbish the unit and replace the motor for $150 plus shipping.  You will never have to buy another rocker.

> Risk Free Purchase

These rockers come with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 1 year warranty.

Tilt Angle Adjustment

Next Rockers have adjustable tilt angle for optimum platform rocking

Loosen the screw on the back of the rocker and slide the cam toward the center (to decrease the tilt) or perimeter (to increase the tilt) and then tighten the screw.

Stacking Trays

stacking trays double the capacity of the Next Rocker lab rocking shaker

Stacking trays are available for all Next Rocker models.  These rugged trays double the support surface area.  They are constructed of heavy gauge ABS plastic for ruggedness. A textured neoprene rubber pad is bonded to the surface for traction. 

You can place a stacking tray on a platform, as pictured below on a Next Rocker Pro, or remove it when desired, without any tools.  The spring loaded legs hold the stacking tray in place.  There are 4-1/2 inches of space above the main platform; 4 inches of clearance along the perimeter walls.

See more details in the FAQs list.

Low Speed and More Power: We have Slow (-S, up to about 30 rock cycles per minute) and Super Slow (-SS, up to about 8 rock cycles per minute) models.    They provide better speed control and smoother rocking at lower speeds as well as more power.  We highly recommend these versions, with their slower, more powerful motors with the extra large platforms (XL model) and with the multi-level rockers (Stack-3 and Stack-4).   See the FAQs or call for more information.

Multi-Platform Next Rockers

The multiplatform rockers can rock several times as many trays, tubes, etc., as standard rockers without using additional lab bench space.  Each platform pivots about its own axis (unlike the stacking tray effect) so that the top platform provides the same controlled conditions as the bottom one.   When placed on a typical 36" high lab bench, the top platform, at 4' 9" (from the floor) is very accessible.

Triple Level and Quadruple Platform Rockers save lab bench space

The Stack-3 and Stack-4 Next Rockers are a convenient size, and provides triple or quadruple the capacity of a traditional rocking shaker in the same footprint.  For reference, the scientist in this photo is 5'3" (1.59 m) tall.

 

Note: Because of the weight of multiple platforms, we recommend the -S (slow) or -SS (super slow) versions because they have more powerful motors for smoother operation.

3 level and 4 level rockers provide triple and quadruple the capacity of traditional lab rockers
