The Thermo Scientific Compact Digital Rocker, Cat. #: 88880019 is a highly efficient and reliable tool designed for gentle sample agitation in a range of laboratory applications, including ELISA, protein synthesis, staining/de-staining of gels, and antibody staining. This rocker offers a speed range of 5 to 100 RPM with an accuracy of ±5% RPM, and its PID control ensures a consistent and smooth rocking motion. The tilt angle can be easily adjusted between 7° to 13°, catering to various experimental requirements.
Featuring a compact design, this rocker is ideal for use in incubators (non-CO2), chambers, and refrigerators up to 60°C. The platform measures 10.87 x 10.87 inches (27.6 x 27.6 cm) and can handle a maximum load of 11.02 lb. (5 kg), making it suitable for accommodating up to six well-plates. It comes equipped with a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) for clear visibility of settings. Additionally, the timer can be set for continuous operation or from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes, providing flexibility for time-dependent and low-dependence sensitive applications.

Shaker Inspection and Recertification Checklist
- Validate that the power supply and PCB deliver stable, correct voltage outputs across all necessary connections, ensuring reliable operation
- Thoroughly inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels; replace affected elements to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Test the full range of button functionality, confirming responsive, accurate input recognition across all settings
- Conduct a detailed inspection of bearings and bearing housing, identifying any worn or damaged bearings, and replace as needed to prevent operational disruption
- Examine the drive belt for signs of cracking, fraying, or material breakdown; replace as required to ensure sustained performance
- Measure and adjust motor drive belt tension to optimal specifications, securing reliable and efficient power transmission
- Verify accuracy of the onboard timer, confirming proper functionality and replacing if it deviates from expected performance
- Calibrate shaker rotation speed with a NIST-traceable tachometer, validating precision within specified operational limits
- Run the shaker continuously for an 8-12 hour testing period, closely observing the shaking platform for smooth, consistent motion, while monitoring for any error indicators such as knocking, skipping, or unusual vibrations
- Perform a comprehensive cosmetic inspection to confirm the device’s exterior meets aesthetic and quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
