VWR orbital shakers are designed to be stable, space-saving, and low-heat producing. They can be used in a variety of applications, including culturing microbes, washing blots, and general mixing. 

VWR Orbital Shaker

The UC Berkeley Biomolecular Nanotechnology Center (BNC) 

is an 11,500 sq ft class 1,000/10,000 cleanroom facility located in Stanley Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. The BNC is a unique fabrication and experimentation facility specializing in BioMEMS (biomedical micro-electromechanical systems) and microfluidic devices. These exciting new technologies are revolutionizing medical diagnostics, analytical chemistry, proteomics, genomics, and cell biology.

The facility has a complete lithography microfabrication facility, as well as soft lithography and glass/polymer bonding capabilities. The BNC features a full range of deposition, etching, metrology, and microscopy equipment as well as facilities for performing biological experiments. The center focuses on microfluidic processing of glass and polymer materials. Experimentation on proteins, nucleic acids, cells, and tissues is encouraged. In addition to a state-of-the-art research lab, the center also features a teaching lab for hands-on training.

California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences

 and is open to both university and industrial users.

 provides researchers the appropriate tools and services to facilitate the design, fabrication, and evaluation of micro- and nano-scale devices for medicine and biology. To foster collaboration across the UC Berkeley campus and the broader academic and industrial communities, the BNC works toward several specific goals:
