Home > Forensic Biology > Laboratory Orientation > Use of Basic Equipment > Rocker/Shaker
Rockers provide a repeated side-to-side motion and are generally variable in speed. They come in a variety of sizes, and many have adjustable table angle.
Shakers are designed to provide a uniform motion that is both mixing and vortexing in nature. They come in a variety of sizes and have adjustable speed settings.
Rockers and shakers can be used for the mixing of reagents, gel staining, and hybridization steps.
