Rotating Mixer

Benchmark Rotating Mixer

The Benchmark Rotating Mixer is designed to provide precise, adjustable mixing speeds for a variety of laboratory applications. Ideal for mixing everything from blood samples to preparation of homogenous dispersions, it offers a versatile solution for achieving gentle to vigorous agitation. This mixer includes multiple rotisserie tube holders to accommodate a wide range of common laboratory tube sizes, from 1.5 ml to 50 ml, and is safe for use in both cold rooms and incubators.

Key Features:

1. Adjustable Speed & Tilt Angle: The Benchmark Rotating Mixer provides a broad speed range from 1 to 40 rpm, and the tilt angle is fully adjustable from 0° to 90°. This flexibility allows you to customize the rotation to suit a variety of sample types and mixing intensities.

2. Reversing Mode for Vigorous Mixing: A unique reversing mode is available for more intense mixing. In this mode, the mixer rotates in one direction for a set period and then reverses direction to ensure thorough mixing. The back-and-forth motion helps improve sample mixing, providing more consistent results, especially for challenging samples.

3. Multiple Rotisserie Tube Holders: The mixer comes with three rotisserie tube holders, designed to hold all common tube sizes. These holders include:

   • 48 x 1.5 ml (with 10 x 1.4 mm tubes)
   • 20 x 15 ml (with 20 x 15 mm tubes)
   • 12 x 50 ml (with 12 x 25 mm tubes)

   Each tube holder is constructed from rubber-coated steel, ensuring a secure grip to prevent any wobbling or loosening during mixing, even at high speeds.

4. Cold Room and Incubator Safe: The Rotating Mixer is built to withstand cold temperatures, making it suitable for use in cold rooms or incubators. It is an ideal tool for applications where maintaining consistent temperature is crucial.

5. Compact and Efficient Design: The compact design (8.25 x 10.5 x 12.5 in.) allows the mixer to fit easily in laboratory settings without taking up too much space. It combines a small footprint with the ability to handle a variety of sample types.

6. Versatile Applications: This rotating mixer is perfect for a wide range of applications, including:

   • Mixing blood samples
   • Homogenizing cell cultures
   • Reagents preparation
   • Blot washing, gel staining/destaining
   • Sample mixing for chemical and biological assays
