These tube rollers are designed for the gentle, thorough mixing of a variety of containers, including Vacutainers, bottles, test tubes, centrifuge tubes and roller bottles. The tube roller provides a gentle but highly efficient rocking and rolling motions, ideal for blood samples, viscous substances and liquid-solid suspensions, mixing up to 4 kg total weight.

As the roller mechanism rotates through each complete revolution, the right side of each roller is gently eleveted about 24 mm and return back to the original horizontal position. This gentle up/down motion provides a "wave effect" and guarantees a homogeneous mixing. Infinitely adjustable speed control for the broadest range of mixing requirements from 0 to 70 rpm provides a gentle revolution and optimal mixing.

Maintenance free DC motor with low noise level enables a smooth startand quick stop. Can be used both in cold rooms, incubators and anaerobic and aerobic chambers due to the small foot print and extremely compact design. Used in a variety applications, prevention of blood coagulation and immune precipitation etc.

Features

• Gentle rocking and rolling motions for complete mixing
• Speed range of 0-70rpm

Benchmark TubeRollers are designed for the gentle, thorough mixing of a variety of containers, including Vacutainers, bottles, test tubes, centrifuge tubes and roller bottles. Both models (5 and 10 roller) operate at a constant 38rpm, chosen as the optimum speed for the broadest range of mixing requirements.

As the roller mechanism rotates through each complete revolution, the right side of each roller is gently elevated about 0.5in (13mm) and returns to the horizontal starting position. This additional, gentle up and down motion provides a "wave" effect and guarantees that the entire sample is subjected to complete, thorough mixing, end to end. This built in tilt feature provides a level of homogeneous mixing uniformity that can not be match by any stationary roller apparatus.

From blood collection tubes to roller bottles, Benchmark TubeRollers are the ideal choice for research, clinical laboratories and doctor's offices.

Features

• Constant 38rpm
• Gentle rolling motion
• Smooth ± 5 degree tilt action
• For tubes/bottles from 8mm to 200mm diameter

Specifications

The EBD1000, is designed to rapidly homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples. Ideal for use with microtubes, the homogenizer works well with samples from 0.1mL to 250mL (depending upon the generator probe used). The EBD1000 is a rotor stator homogenizer, and works by drawing the sample, in liquid, into the generator probe with the variable speed rotor, and then forcing it out through the slots in the stator. This achieves mechanical shearing of the sample. As the sample is repeatedly drawn up and forced through the stator, additional shearing takes place. Most samples are completely homogenized in 30 seconds are less. A powerful, 130W motor drives the rotor at speeds from 8,500 to 30,000 rpm. Speed is adjustable in six steps to meet sample processing needs. A separate on/off switch allows the homogenizer to be left at the appropriate setting.

Generator probes are available in four sizes. The 5mm and 7mm diameter have a 50mm length for use with samples in microbtubes. The 10mm x 115mm is ideal
for use with 15 and 50mL tubes and 14mm x 130 mm, for 50mL tubes and vessels up to 250ml. The unit is supplied with one each of the 5mm and 7mm generator probes. All the generator probes are made of stainless steel and can be sterilised by autoclaving.

Extremely powerful mixing action for lysis, grinding or homogenization.
Faster and more effective than tissue grinders.
For all sample types, from soft tissue to bone.
Sealed, 2.0mL tubes for zero cross contamination.
2 year manufacturers warranty.

These units are high energy, bench top homogenizers that set the performance standard for personal sized cell distribution and lysis instruments. Simultaneous homogenization of multiple samples takes place (often under 45 seconds) inside the disposable 2mL screw cap microtubes. The optimised mixing motion causes rapid cell distribution through constant high velocity impact from the hardened micro-beads chosen specifically for your sample type.

We offer an assortment of prefilled tube kits for a variety of sample types. The popular Triple-Pure kits include acid washed, heat treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free of nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications. A convenient starter kit is available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimise applications.
