Here is some information from the manufacturer...
Unique, Low Profile for Convenient Access - Unlike conventional waterbaths, the Gemini Twin Shaking Waterbath [Cat. #1051-20-1 (115V), 1051-20-2 (220V)] is composed of two low profile independently heated chambers. Removable adaptors designed for specific containers are placed in the chambers to hold vessels firmly in place during agitation. With a chamber depth of only two inches, the Gemini waterbath allows the operator unimpeded access to containers with hand-held pipettors and other devices.
Two Independent, Precision Controlled Heated Chambers - The Gemini waterbath is composed of two identical, 13.3" x 2.3" x 9.5" chambers mounted on a single platform. The temperature of each chamber is independently regulated with a dedicated digital controller. The desired temperature (ambient +5°C to 99°C) is selected on the digital display with actual temperature continuously displayed during operation. An integral countdown timer makes an audible signal useful for timed incubations. Precise temperature regulation of ± 0.2°C is achieved through a finely designed system of controller, quick response, low mass resistance heaters and a sensitive temperature probe.
Gentle to Vigorous Agitation - Ideal for a range of applications that require varying degrees of agitation, the versatile Gemini waterbath can be regulated from gentle movement for blot processing to vigorous agitation needed for tissue digestions. The two chambers are mounted on a single platform which moves smoothly in a front to back motion variable from 10 to 160 strokes per minute.
Clear Acrylic Cover for Visual Monitoring of Samples - Ever find yourself "checking" waterbath samples by removing the cover and disturbing the temperature? The Gemini waterbath is designed with a lightweight, clear acrylic cover that allows samples to be visually monitored during incubations. Plus, the unique, "inverted V" shape delivers condensate to the sides of the chamber away from samples, preventing inadvertent sample contamination.
Removable Chamber Adaptors for Dot Blots, Microplates and Membrane Strip Trays - One of the design features of the Gemini waterbath is the use of removable stainless steel adaptors designed for specific types of plates, trays, etc. The adaptor holds the vessel stationary in the chamber eliminating clumsy weights normally used with conventional waterbaths. A range of adaptors are available:
Remarkably Fast Heat-up and Temperature Recovery - Each chamber of the Gemini waterbath is heated with a 350 watt, resistance heater to provide exceedingly rapid and uniform heating. Operating temperature can be attained in under 25 minutes from room temperature, far less than conventional waterbaths. Temperature recovery time when changing reagents is also dramatically reduced. After removing the cover for 3 minutes, as little as 20 seconds is required to re-establish set temperature.
Small, Lightweight and Easy to Clean - The Gemini waterbath was designed for the normally crowded laboratory with limited bench space. With a footprint of only 13x20 inches and weighing less than 32 lbs., it is easily transportable and takes up a fraction of the space of a conventional waterbath. The chambers are also designed for easy cleaning. By simply unscrewing four thumbscrews and disconnecting the sensor, the operator can easily remove each chamber to a sink for cleaning.
