VWR Rocking Platform, Cat. #: 10860-780
The VWR Rocking Platform, Cat. #: 10860-780, is a versatile laboratory equipment designed for efficient and precise sample handling. It offers a speed range from 1 to 120 RPM, allowing for controlled rocking motion with an adjustable tilt angle ranging from 2.5° to 20° (with an adjustability of ± 2.5°). This rocking platform is particularly suitable for tasks involving gels and blotted membranes, as it creates a gentle "wave" effect. It also features a 10 to 120 minute continuous timer with a hold function for added convenience and flexibility.
The platform can support a maximum load of 11 lb. (5 kg) and features a spacious 14.2 x 11 inch (36 x 28 cm) stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and easy cleanup. The shaker is equipped with a robust motor and heavy-duty bearings, ensuring a long service life. One notable feature is its suitability for use in cold rooms, making it a reliable choice for a variety of laboratory environments. This product provides essential functionality for sample preparation and handling without compromising precision and durability.
All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

- Validate that the power supply and PCB deliver stable, correct voltage outputs across all necessary connections, ensuring reliable operation
- Thoroughly inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels; replace affected elements to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Test the full range of button functionality, confirming responsive, accurate input recognition across all settings
- Conduct a detailed inspection of bearings and bearing housing, identifying any worn or damaged bearings, and replace as needed to prevent operational disruption
- Examine the drive belt for signs of cracking, fraying, or material breakdown; replace as required to ensure sustained performance
- Measure and adjust motor drive belt tension to optimal specifications, securing reliable and efficient power transmission
- Verify accuracy of the onboard timer, confirming proper functionality and replacing if it deviates from expected performance
- Calibrate shaker rotation speed with a NIST-traceable tachometer, validating precision within specified operational limits
- Run the shaker continuously for an 8-12 hour testing period, closely observing the shaking platform for smooth, consistent motion, while monitoring for any error indicators such as knocking, skipping, or unusual vibrations
- Perform a comprehensive cosmetic inspection to confirm the device’s exterior meets aesthetic and quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
