The RoboRocker is a programmable tilt platform designed for microfluidic culture applications and other applications in which a device needs to be tilted from one angle to another, and either dwell at those positions or even travel very slowly from one tilt position to the next.
The RoboRocker is programmable. Just use the touch screen to set the tilt angles, dwell or pause times, and rates of travel. The RoboRockers can be programmed to pause (or dwell) at a particular angle for one second or many hours, travel from one tilt position to the next in seconds, or at extremely slow speeds. Typical applications include microfluidic cell culture, in which the medium flows by gravity from one reservoir to the next. By controlling the tilt angle, the flow rate can be set. By programming the tilt angle to change very slowly over time to compensate for decreasing level of medium in the source, the flow rate can be maintained at a fairly constant rate.
The RoboRockers have a microcontroller to accurately control the angular position and rate of tilt.
RoboRockers come in models with platforms with 4 or 6 “parking docks” to easily position and hold stacks of well plates.
Programming and operation are simple with a large touch screen. The status including the current angle and the number of cycles run are displayed on the color graphics screen.
