Tube Tumbler

Product thumbnail: Tube Tumbler
Short description:

The Select BioProducts Tube Tumbler Rotator ™ is useful for a variety of applications, from gentle rotating to end over end tumbling and everything in between, the Tube Tumbler is a product that every laboratory needs. The unique design of the Tube Tumbler allows it to be used in either a horizontal or vertical plane with a simple twist of the rotisserie plate.

Each rotisserie consists of two moveable plates and a support rod. When the plates are perpendicular to the rod, a gentle rotating motion is created - tubes rotate parallel to the axis. When the plates are moved parallel to the axis, tubes move end over end. The plates can be placed at any position in between for more or less vigorous mixing, and are independent of each other allowing them to be placed at different positions. In addition, the plates are removable and can be interchanged with the plates from other rotisseries, allowing different tube sizes to be mixed at the same time.

Operating speed is fixed at 18 rpm. The unit is supplied complete with a rotisserie for 36 x 1.5/2.0 ml tubes. Optional rotisseries accept 5 ml, 7 ml, 15ml and 50 ml tubes. The sturdy construction of the Tube Tumbler stands up to constant use, yet the unit is light enough to be easily moved. The Tube Tumbler is safe for operation in temperature controlled environments from +4 to 65°C.

Short description:

The Rock-it Platform Rocker features variable speed and an adjustable tilt angle. For staining fragile gels, a gentle wave motion can be chosen. More vigorous conditions can be set for washing sturdier membranes.

Tilt angle and speed are changed simply by turning the associated knobs. Both single and double platform models are available. Platforms are made of stainless steel with a rubber mat to keep sample containers in place.

A heavy duty motor powers loads of up to 5 kilograms while permanently lubricated ball bearings provide smooth, maintenance free operation.

Mini Twist Nutating Mixer

Short description:

For samples requiring more thorough mixing than that provided by a platform rocker, the MiniTwist™ Nutating Mixer combines the actions of a rocker and an orbital shaker to produce a three dimensional motion. The MiniTwist is ideal for mixing and resuspending samples in blood collection tubes as well as centrifuge tubes.

The platform is covered with a dimpled mat that will hold up to 21 standard or 30 paediatric blood collection tubes, fifteen 15 ml or nine 50 ml centrifuge tubes or 60 micro-tubes. Both the Rock-it Platform Rocker and MiniTwist Nutating Mixer can be operated in temperature controlled environments from 4° to 65° C.

Select Vortex Mixer

Continuously adjustable speed control makes the Select Vortex Mixer useful for a variety of applications from gentle mixing of samples to resuspending pellets. Two modes of operation can be selected. “Touch” control allows the Select Vortex Mixer to be activated only when needed by depressing the sample head. When set to “on” the unit will operate continuously until switched to the off position.

The general purpose cup attachment supplied with the Select Vortex Mixer accepts a variety of different sized tubes. Additional heads are available for mixing larger sample tubes, multiple micro-tubes and microplates. Heavy duty construction ensures a long life, and combined with the rubber feet, keeps the unit stable and prevents “walking”. A small footprint allows the Select Vortex Mixer to be used virtually anywhere, including temperature controlled environments from 4° to 65° C.
