Overview
The AELAB MX-RD-E Tube Rotator is designed to provide effective and reliable mixing of biological samples in 1.5 mL to 50 mL microtubes. Using a smooth DC motor and adjustable 0–80 rpm rotation range, it supports biochemical, molecular biology, and clinical applications requiring gentle and uniform agitation.
This model ensures optimal sample homogeneity for a range of biological workflows, including immune precipitations, latex diagnostics, prevention of blood coagulation, and general laboratory sample mixing.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AELAB MX-RD-E features a durable frame with a stable base designed to minimize vibration during rotation. The unit utilizes a high-reliability DC motor to maintain consistent torque and rotational speed. Its mixing disk supports multiple tube sizes through dedicated Plastic Clips compatible with 50 mL, 15 mL, and 1.5 mL tubes. A manual scale dial provides intuitive speed adjustment from 0 to 80 rpm. The device is engineered with IP21 protection class and operates under ambient conditions from 5–40°C and ≤80%RH.
🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
The MX-RD-E Tube Rotator operates via continuous circular rotation of the mounted disk. This gentle rotational motion agitates the liquid in each tube, enabling efficient mixing without introducing shear stress or foam. Adjustable speed control allows users to regulate agitation intensity for different biological or chemical protocols, ensuring consistent, reproducible results across routine laboratory workflows.
