3) Mini LabRoller Rotator and rotisseries for tubes

Labnet International Inc.

Simple, yet versatile, the Mini LabRoller™ Rotator is designed for mixing samples in both a horizontal and vertical plane. The unit accepts a broad assortment of tube sizes as well as micro plates. Safe for cold room or incubator use, this mixer is ideal for a wide range of applications in areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, clinical testing and histochemistry.

Compact and sleek design. A small footprint and efficient housing design conserve valuable bench space and make the Mini LabRoller™ Rotator suitable for any size laboratory. It has an ambient operating range of 4° to 40°C and will easily fit into most incubators. Lightweight and portable, the unit is easily moved from the bench to a biological or chemical hood. Simple construction allows for easy cleaning and decontamination.

Wide range of motion The Mini LabRoller™ Rotator is uniquely designed so that the level of agitation can be adjusted from gentle rolling, through two levels of tumbling, to forceful end over end mixing simply by changing the rotisserie position. When a rotisserie is inserted horizontally (tubes held vertically), an end over end motion is produced. The unit can then be used for simple rotating, or rested on either end to create a tumbling motion. Placing the Mini LabRoller™ on the end with the power switch will create a more vigorous tumbling motion than resting it on the opposite end. A rocking motion is achieved by simply inserting pegs to limit the movement of the rotisserie to 20°, 45°, or 60°. Any of the three available rotisseries can be used as a rocking platform. Using the supplied rod, the rotisseries may be mounted vertically (tubes held horizontally). In all configurations, the speed of the rotisserie is fixed at 24rpm.

Interchangeable rotisseries hold numerous tube sizes The Mini LabRoller™ Rotator is supplied with a rotisserie for 36 × 1.5mL or 2.0mL tubes. Two additional rotisseries are available separately. The first accommodates ten conical 15mL or other tubes with a 15…17mm diameter as well as twelve tubes with a 12…13mm diameter. The second holds six 50mL conical tubes. Microplates can be used on any of the three rotisseries.
