Roller Drums for tissue culture; a question of rotation speed
Al you must still have a real job. Shakers can be had from eBay for $50 -
$150. Currently there is a brand new one with 4 days to go at $61. If you have the time I expect you could find them at a state auction at 4 for $12. Pat "Al" wrote in message ... An orbital sander. :-) I wonder how fast this sander would spin. I would need control of the speed but it is a clever idea. The cost (new) of the very cheapest shaker base (about 8.5 x 11) from New Brunswick is $1,185. It comes with an electrical plug to make the motor go. Without the plug it is probably substantially less expensive but they don't list a model without a plug. If you want bells and timers and speed controls and digital readouts then the next largest model costs $1,515. It also has a plug. Neither of these models comes with a 'platform'; these are considered accessories. Their platform accessories vary in price but the one I would choose because it can hold a test tube rack costs $455. It is a 13 x 11 inch cookie sheet with screws and clamps. In fact, after I caught my breath again from loosing it at the price of the *accessory* I thought "well, I can build a cookie sheet with screws and Velcro. Now I just need something to make it move by itself." An orbital sander... hummm. I wonder what is inside that shaker base box that could possibly be worth $1,185. Could it be the warrantee? wrote in message ... You can make one. You just need an electric motor and a camshaft. Come to think of it, a random orbit sander could be adapted to make a shaker table pretty easily. Just turn it upside down, screw a platform on it, and use the trigger lock to keep it turned on. I wonder how long the motor would last... That might be my best idea this week, and I have had a couple good ones, not that I ever remember to write them down (good idea number 4 - write down good ideas).
