Bibby Scientific STEM RS9000 Heater/Shaker Reaction Station
The RS 9000 Heater/Shaker Reaction Station can be used within
a robotic workstation or as a stand-alone apparatus in the
lab. On a robotic platform, heating and shaking cycles can be
controlled by external software or as part of a fully automated
system through the RS232/ RS485/ GSIOC ports; for standalone
use, there is the additional option of controlling heating and
shaking cycles via the user friendly touchscreen.
The CTC panel (Capacitance Touch Control) of the touchscreen
enables the temperature and shaking speeds to be changed
using up/down arrows and the actual values are clearly displayed
on a high definition LCD display which has an anti-glare coating.
The LCD display is cool blue to be visible in both bright and
dim lighting conditions, without deleteriously affecting lightsensitive
chemicals. The touchscreen has a laminated toughened
glass panel that is chemically resistant to most acids and solvents.
Features
Very versatile as reaction blocks can be
inter- changed to accommodate different
vessels and tray formats
Can be used on a robotic platform or within a
laboratory
Choice of touchscreen control or external
control via RS232/ RS485/ GSIOC ports
Operates over a temperature range of ambient
to 150°C
Agitation speed of 100-600 rpm
Optional temperature probe
2-axis X-Y gyration system on solid bronze
chassis that is both reliable and stable
Auto-park feature enables use on robotic
platforms
Soft start ramping to minimise splashing
Very safe to operate
Provides many years of reliable use with
continuous 24 hours heating and agitation
Temperature probe
The RS9000 operates over a temperature range of ambient 5°C
to 150°C. An optional temperature probe can be purchased and
plugged into the din socket on the front panel.
X-Y Gyration system
The RS9000 can handle heavy workloads and give 24 hour
continuous operation with uniform agitation of between 100-
600rpm. For stability, the RS9000 has a solid bronze chassis on
which the X-Y gyration system is mounted, which is a robust
two axis slide plate mechanism. Tapered roller bearings ensure
smooth agitation cycles and give accurate control of agitation
speed even at low revolutions. Advanced micro-controllers
monitor temperature and agitation speed constantly and make
the required adjustments as necessary which has been proven to
provide many years of reliable service.

Interchangeable blocks
The RS9000 has a range of different reaction blocks that can be
inter-changed to give a choice of both reaction vessel capacities
and formats that can be fitted into the same working footprint.
If desired, the reaction blocks can also be customised to accept
different vessels and tray sizes.
Auto-Park
The RS9000 has a unique "auto-park" feature which ensures the
platform always stops in the same X-Y co-ordinate This allows
for automated sampling and additions.
Safety Features
The RS9000 has a thermal cut-off that eliminates runaway conditions. The 'Hot block' warning via a highly visible
warning display icon alerts you to when the block temperature is above 50°C, even when the apparatus is unplugged
from the power supply. The RS9000 can be stopped rapidly in case of emergency by pressing down on the front
sliding door; the front display will indicate "Door Open" and immediately stop. Heating and stirring can be reset
after stopping by closing the door and pressing the function key zones on the front panel to reactivate.
Soft Start Ramping
Soft Start Ramping allows controlled build-up to the set speed (from 0 to 10 mins). This feature minimises splashing
of vessel contents, wetting of flask closures and fragmentation of specimens.
