This is an instrument I just completed that rotates vials back and forth by 90 degrees. By controlling the wait time between rocks, and the total # of rocks we can control the self assembly of peptoid polymer solutions to make highly-ordered nanosheets. This version of the device introduces temperature control, by means of an aluminum water-jacketed vial block.

For more on the science of nanosheet formation, you can check out our JACS paper:
"Shaken, not stirred: Collapsing a peptoid monolayer to produce free-floating, stable nanosheets". Sanii, B., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 133, 20808 (2011). http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja206199d
