Benchmark TubeRoller Series mixers are engineered for gentle, thorough mixing of tubes, bottles, Vacutainers™, and roller bottles. Available in 5-roller and 10-roller configurations, these compact mixers provide uniform motion with a unique wave-like tilt to ensure complete sample mixing from end to end.
TubeRollers are ideal for clinical and research applications requiring consistent, hands-off sample agitation — with minimal space requirements and maximum reliability.
Features:
- Simultaneous rolling and tilting motion for end-to-end, homogenous mixing
- Handles tubes and bottles from 8mm to 200mm diameter
- ±5° tilt on each revolution generates continuous wave motion
- Durable, low-profile design fits on any benchtop
- Works in cold rooms and incubators (4°C to 40°C)
- 5-Roller model: fixed 38 RPM speed
- 10-Roller model: variable speed (2 to 80 RPM) + timer function
- Optional dual platform accessory (10-Roller model) doubles work surface
How It Works:
As the rollers rotate, the right side of each is gently elevated and then returned to horizontal. This motion produces a gentle wave that enhances mixing efficiency by constantly redistributing liquid throughout the sample. It's particularly useful for blood tubes, culture bottles, and any container sensitive to mechanical disruption.
