Ratek RM2 Medium Reciprocating Shaker The Ratek RM2 Medium Reciprocating Shaker provides precise horizontal side-to-side motion across its generous 350mm square platform, making it exceptionally well-suited for diverse mixing and washing applications involving bottles, flasks, and separating funnels. The unit's digital speed control system offers exceptional versatility with a range spanning 20-200 strokes per minute, managed through an intuitive front panel interface featuring a large LED display that clearly shows both set and actual speeds for accurate monitoring. Intelligent slow acceleration technology is integrated into the drive system to minimize spillage risk during startup, while the comprehensive timer functionality allows settings from 0-99 in either minutes or hours, ensuring precise control over processing times for various laboratory protocols. Enhanced operational convenience comes through the RM2's three programmable memory buttons that store frequently used time and speed combinations, streamlining routine procedures and ensuring consistent reproducible results across repeated applications. The shaker is engineered for extended unattended operation when required, providing reliable performance during long-duration processes. The standard Nitrile mat fitted to the platform provides adequate container security for low-speed applications, while optional accessories like the RR5 Universal rack expand the unit's capabilities for higher-speed operations. This versatile rack system features adjustable horizontal rubber-covered bars that can be positioned to accommodate various container types and sizes, including test tube racks, trays, and flasks, making the RM2 a comprehensive solution for laboratories requiring flexible, precision-controlled reciprocating motion. Ideal for bottles, flasks, separating funnels 350mm square platform Side to side shaking platform Speed from 20 to 200 RPM Reproducible digital speed and timer control Applications for Ratek RM2 Reciprocating Shaker: Applications encompass a broad range of laboratory procedures including the gentle mixing of blood samples, cultivation and maintenance of cell cultures, efficient chemical extractions, and the precise silver staining of polyacrylamide gels where controlled agitation is essential for optimal results. The reciprocating motion is particularly beneficial for applications requiring consistent, uniform mixing without the aggressive action that could damage delicate samples or disrupt sensitive chemical reactions. This makes the RM2 especially valuable in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and analytical chemistry laboratories where sample integrity and reproducible mixing conditions are critical for accurate experimental outcomes.
