RoboRocker 240 Series – Steep Tilt Rocker

For those situations where a 30° tilt just isn’t enough — the RoboRocker 240 series will get you the extra angle. With a tilt angle capability of up to ±45°, combined with every RoboRocker’s ability to remain (i.e. pause) at the tilt angle, this rocker is meant for particular situations — such as creating greater shear flow in microfluidic channels to simulate in vivo conditions for blood vessel cell cultures. If you need more than ±45°, contact us. We can adapt our design for steeper angles.

These rockers are designed for special applications which require steeper tilts. Note that these rockers have a lower load capacity. For more typical microfluidic device, culture plate and other incubator applications, see the All Purpose – 210 series RoboRockers.
