Rotating Mixer
Rotating Mixer systems from Vertex Analytical provide controlled 360° rotational mixing for blood collection tubes, centrifuge tubes, and laboratory sample containers. Designed for clinical laboratories, biotechnology facilities, universities, and industrial laboratories, these compact benchtop mixers combine rotational movement with adjustable operating angles for improved mixing flexibility. The system accommodates tube sizes from 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes through to 50 ml centrifuge tubes using interchangeable clip systems. Adjustable speed and timer controls allow users to optimise mixing conditions for different applications. Available in economical brush motor models and advanced digital brushless motor models, the Rotating Mixer offers an affordable solution for routine laboratory mixing applications throughout South Africa.
Overview
The Vertex Analytical Rotating Mixer is designed for laboratories that require continuous circular rotation of samples. The rotating disc design provides smooth and consistent movement while supporting a wide variety of laboratory procedures.
Unlike long-axis rotators, this Rotating Tube Mixer uses a circular rotating platform that holds tubes securely during operation. As a result, the system is particularly useful for blood sample preparation, incubation procedures, and routine laboratory mixing.
The compact benchtop design also makes the instrument suitable for laboratories where workspace is limited.
Adjustable Angle Mixing
A key feature of the Rotary Mixer is the adjustable operating angle. Laboratories can tailor the mixing action according to sample type and protocol requirements. This flexibility makes the system suitable for both gentle sample suspension and more active mixing procedures. Users can adjust the platform between:- 40°
- 80°
- Intermediate positions
Tube Compatibility
The Rotating Tube Mixer supports a range of commonly used laboratory tubes through interchangeable clip systems. Available capacities include:- Centrifuge Tubes
- 50 ml tubes × 8
- 15 ml tubes × 16
- 1.5 ml / 2 ml tubes × 24
- Blood Collection Tubes
- 10 ml tubes × 16
- 2 ml / 5 ml tubes × 24
Applications
The continuous rotational movement promotes consistent sample mixing during routine laboratory procedures. This Tube Roller is suitable for:- Blood collection tube mixing
- Clinical laboratory workflows
- Biotechnology applications
- Molecular biology laboratories
- Incubation procedures
- Immunology testing
- Protein sample preparation
- Environmental laboratories
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- Research and development facilities
Performance and Convenience
The Rotating Mixer combines simple operation with flexible tube compatibility. Users can quickly change clip sizes and adjust operating parameters as laboratory requirements change. The Pro models feature a digital display with programmable timer settings. In addition, the brushless motor supports extended operation while reducing maintenance requirements. Because the platform angle is adjustable, laboratories can optimize mixing performance for different sample types.
