BT30 Orbi-Blotter: the precision orbital shaker by Benchmark Scientific for your laboratory applications
The BT30 Orbi-Blotter orbital shaker, designed by Benchmark Scientific, is an essential ally for all molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry laboratories where precision and reliability in mixing are crucial. Designed to deliver gentle, continuous orbital motion, it is perfectly suited for protocols that require careful sample handling. Whether you’re performing blotting techniques, gel electrophoresis washing, membrane staining, or destaining, this shaker guarantees consistent and reproducible results with every use.
One of its main strengths lies in its highly flexible speed range, from 3 to 70 revolutions per minute. Its ability to go as low as 3 RPM allows you to work with highly sensitive samples without the risk of damage, while still having the option to increase the speed for more dynamic processes. Thanks to its 19 mm orbit (¾ inch), the BT30 Orbi-Blotter by Benchmark Scientific ensures efficient, uniform mixing regardless of the container type. Whether you’re working with trays, flasks, Petri dishes, or culture plates, the generous 14 x 12 inch (35 x 30 cm) non-slip platform provides optimal stability for all your vessels.
Designed for seamless integration into your workflow, the Benchmark Scientific BT30 operates in a wide temperature range from 4°C to 50°C. This makes it fully compatible with incubators for temperature-sensitive applications, as well as cold rooms for heat-sensitive procedures. Its compact footprint, with dimensions of 35 x 30 x 20 cm and a weight of just 5.5 kg, makes it easy to move and install in any laboratory setting.
Electrically, the BT30 Orbi-Blotter by Benchmark Scientific is available in both 120 V and 230 V versions, with 50–60 Hz frequency, ensuring international compatibility. The device is also scalable, thanks to its range of optional accessories, such as the stacking platform, which increases capacity by adding an additional tier, or the platform extension, which raises the working height to accommodate taller vessels.
Ergonomically, the user interface is straightforward and intuitive, with accessible front-facing controls for quick speed adjustments. Its easy-to-clean surface helps maintain hygienic and safe laboratory conditions.
With its reliability, versatility, and consistent performance, the BT30 Orbi-Blotter by Benchmark Scientific is the preferred equipment for laboratories aiming for precise results while protecting even the most delicate samples. A durable investment for confident handling of your daily lab protocols.
