Optimal Motion for Diverse Lab Applications

The unique, undulating motion of The Belly Dancer® orbital shaker by IBI is specifically designed to provide the best movement for tissue culture, staining, and de-staining gels, blotting, and immunoprecipitation. The system includes a simple yet effective liquid agitation setup, featuring an orbiting platform flexibly anchored at four corners. This allows for an optimal combination of a rocking platform mixer and an orbital shaker when adjusted by the platform pitch control collar. The result is a gentle yet efficient motion that ensures more rapid solvent exchange in applications like staining gels, while also protecting sensitive cell lines from sheering in cell culture. Plus, enjoy the convenience of Free UPS Shipping!

Durable Construction and Versatile Features

The Belly Dancer® shaker is built to last, with a simple and durable construction made of chemically resistant materials, including stainless steel and anodized aluminum parts with a high bake ester finish on the case. It features an open-sided platform to accommodate oversized containers and a removable, washable non-skid platform mat. The flat power cord design allows it to pass through incubator door gaskets without compromising the controlled environment. The platform is easily adjustable, with a pitch control collar that allows for motion ranging from level to an 8° pitch. With a capacity of up to 20 lbs and extremely quiet operation, it functions efficiently across an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. The shaker’s speed is adjustable from 0 to 100 RPM, with smooth operation even at slow speeds.

Customizable with a Range of Accessories

The Belly Dancer® comes with a variety of accessories to enhance its functionality in the lab. Options include a 2nd Story Platform, which doubles the platform capacity with its 4.5" aluminum spacer legs and non-skid mat, and an Extension Platform, which increases capacity by 225% with its 18 x 18" size. For smaller tubes, the Urethane Tube Mat is a perfect addition, accommodating tubes up to 50 ml. For a complete setup, Lab Start-Up Kits are available, which pair The Belly Dancer® with your choice of accessories, including the 2nd Story Platform, Extension Platform, or Urethane Tube Mat. Each kit ensures that your lab is equipped to handle a wide range of mixing tasks with ease. The shaker also comes standard with a 12” x 12” platform, flat power cord, white silicone mat, and operation manual.

Step by Step Assembly Guide

You are going to remove the 4 screws from each corner of the top platform. These screws hold the grommets in place that the tubing/legs attach to on the underside of the platform. • Remove ONE at a time. • Replace each screw with the threaded end of the 2nd story posts. Tighten. • Once all 4 screws have been replaced with 4 posts. • Place the 2nd story platform on top of the 4 posts. • Use the 4 screws that you removed from the bottom platform to attach the top platform to the posts. Now you are done.

The Belly Dancer® is making a squeaking noise what should I do to quiet this?

Putting a drop of non-penetrating oil in the tilt assay will quiet the unit. (DO NOT use WD-40)

Why does the case of The Belly Dancer® have dust on it?

The dust being generated is from the washer. The washer is a wear item and keeps the metal parts from rubbing together. Most of the particles are re-absorbed by the rubber washer, however, when there are heavier loads on the unit, some dust will/may appear on the top of the case. This is not a defect.
