IBI Scientific BDRLS0004 Belly Dancer Orbital Shaker 220 V w/ 2nd Story Platform

Optimal Motion for Diverse Lab Applications

The unique, undulating motion of The Belly Dancer® orbital shaker by IBI is specifically designed to provide the best movement for tissue culture, staining, and de-staining gels, blotting, and immunoprecipitation. The system includes a simple yet effective liquid agitation setup, featuring an orbiting platform flexibly anchored at four corners. This allows for an optimal combination of a rocking platform mixer and an orbital shaker when adjusted by the platform pitch control collar. The result is a gentle yet efficient motion that ensures more rapid solvent exchange in applications like staining gels, while also protecting sensitive cell lines from sheering in cell culture.

Durable Construction and Versatile Features

The Belly Dancer® shaker is built to last, with a simple and durable construction made of chemically resistant materials, including stainless steel and anodized aluminum parts with a high bake ester finish on the case. It features an open-sided platform to accommodate oversized containers and a removable, washable non-skid platform mat. The flat power cord design allows it to pass through incubator door gaskets without compromising the controlled environment. The platform is easily adjustable, with a pitch control collar that allows for motion ranging from level to an 8° pitch. With a capacity of up to 20 lbs and extremely quiet operation, it functions efficiently across an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. The shaker's speed is adjustable from 0 to 100 RPM, with smooth operation even at slow speeds.

Compatibility and Key Features

The 2nd Story Platform accessory for The Belly Dancer® doubles the usable platform capacity, featuring 4.5" aluminum spacer legs and a non-skid removable mat. Notably, The Belly Dancer® Shaker was previously manufactured by Stovall Scientific, and all IBI accessories and replacement parts remain fully compatible with the Stovall Belly Dancer®. Key features include adjustable speed (0-100 RPM) and platform pitch control (0°-8°), doubling the usable platform space with two 12" x 12" platforms, and the ability to operate in cold rooms and CO2 incubators (0°C-40°C). The unit comes with The Belly Dancer® - 220 V unit (BDRAA220S) and the 2nd Story Platform Kit (ACCAA0001).
