> Increase Productivity

The Freedom Rocker™ automates the processing of blots and gels, freeing up time for more demanding activities.  Because it automatically dispenses and aspirates reagent from multiple trays simultaneously, the samples in all the trays will experience the exact same protocol.  Through increased productivity, the Freedom Rocker™ pays for itself in about 30 uses.

> Reduce Downtime and Shorten Cycles

The Freedom Rocker™ allows you to process blots and gels anytime . . . even during meetings or overnight.  No need to wait until the next morning to start processing.

> Improve Safety

The Freedom Rocker™ automatically drains hazardous reagents from trays into the proper containers, reducing exposure to dangerous materials.

> Risk Free Purchase

The Freedom Rocker™ comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty.

 

The FREEDOM ROCKER™ can run in manual mode to perform a dispense, timed rocking, or aspiration step, or in automatic mode where it can automatically perform up to 9 protocol steps.  Each step can be a reaction with a reagent or a series of washes (up to 5 repetitions) such as 5X dispense, rock, and aspirate).  For each step, the instrument can select among 3 buffers/reagents and aspirate to waste or either of 2 recovery containers, and clearing rinses can be included. 

 

FEATURES

Compact.  Uses less than 10 in. of lab bench.  9.8 in. (25 cm) wide by 13.7 in. (35 cm) deep, including the rocker. (12 inches wide for the 4 tray version)

Can use most anywhere.  Only requires an electrical outlet.

No vacuum, pressurized air or gas, or additional pumps required.

Quiet.

Rocker platform 9.8 in. (25 cm) wide (FRSKDX2) or 12 in. (30 cm) wide (FRSKDX4) by 12 inch deep (30 cm) rocker platform standard
16 in. (41 cm) wide by 15 in. (38 cm) deep platform available.

Can recover reagent solution.

Unattended dispensing and aspiration of liquids to 1 or 2 trays (FRSKDX2 or DX4) or 4 trays (FRSKDX4). 

Drip proof quick-release connections.

Adjustable Parameters for each protocol step include::

- rocking speed (0 to 40 cycles per minute)

- reagent/solution rocking time (1 min to 90 hours)

- dispense volume (10 to 600 ml)

- up to 5 repetitions per step.

- clearing rinse option

Patent pending technology.

Rocking continues after the final rinse and the wash buffer remains in the trays to keep the blots or gels wet.

Customization available (e.q. aspirate into particular bottles or carboys, custom platform sizes).

Built in the USA for years of trouble free use, including: a stainless steel platform and front panel; a powder coated heavy-duty gage aluminum chassis; self-lubricating bronze bushings; and a Pittman brand (one of the most highly regarded instrument motor manufacturers) gear motor for driving the rocking motion.

Can program up to 9 protocol steps, where each step consists of one or a series of dispense/rock/aspirate steps.  Programming is simple because it follows the same format in which protocols are written.

Each step - Select dispense from any of 3 reagents/buffers.  Reagents will be dispensed and aspirated to all the trays simultaneously, for consistent processing of all the blots and gels. (One reagent at a time will go to all the trays.) Select aspirate to waste or either of 2 recovery containers.  Minimum dispense volume is 10 mL per tray.

Clearing rinse can be activated or deactivated for each step individually.

Alarm at the end of the last step can be activated or deactivated.

Color coded tubing simplify connections to bottles.

Warranty: 2 years parts and labor.

30 day money back guarantee.
