Scientific Industries SI-1131 Stackable Wire Rack, for Enviro Genie and Incubator Genie

The Scientific Industries SI-1131 stackable wire rack increases shelf space in a temperature controlled chamber and is an accessory for the SI-1201 Enviro Genie refrigerated incubator and SI-1401 Incubator Genie benchtop shaker. The rack is made from chrome-plated steel for corrosion-resistance and durability, and measures 12-1/8 x 8 inches (W x D). (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) Two wire racks fit inside the chamber to provide three levels for containers.

Laboratory shakers agitate liquids during laboratory procedures. These devices can be analog or digital and are typically an automated, electrically powered, countertop unit that shakes liquid in lab containers, such as flasks, funnels, or test tubes. Some shakers can operate inside fume hoods, incubators, refrigerators, or other laboratory devices, and can include controls for the frequency and/or degree of movement. The types of shakers include: orbital, rocking, rolling, rotating, and wrist action. The most common orbital shaker provides a smooth, continuous, circular motion, sometimes with a tilt angle, for uniform mixing of contents. The rocking shaker creates gentle uniform mixing with a see-saw, or up and down, motion. Reciprocating, or rolling, shakers provide a horizontal side-to-side motion with simple agitation of samples. A rotating, or rotisserie, shaker provides samples with a rotating action that moves in a circular motion. Wrist-action shakers duplicate the effect of hand mixing with "arms" on each side of the unit. Some shakers have the ability to incubate or refrigerate samples while providing shaking action.

Scientific Industries manufactures laboratory equipment such as shakers and mixers, homogenizers, and incubators under the Vortex-Genie and Genie brands. The company, founded in 1954, is headquartered in Bohemia, NY.
