Description

In routine biological sample preparation, tubes often need to stay evenly suspended without the harsh shear force of vortexing. Blood samples may settle during handling, immunoprecipitation reactions require continuous contact between binding partners, and latex diagnostic suspensions can lose uniformity if mixing is inconsistent.

The MX-RD-Pro Tube Rotator is a multi-purpose, multi-angle digital tube rotator designed for gentle but effective mixing of biological samples held in 1.5 mL to 50 mL tubes. With adjustable speed, adjustable tilt angle, LCD speed and timer display, and continuous or timed operation, it supports repeatable low-speed rotational mixing for molecular biology, biochemistry, clinical research, and general life science workflows.

This laboratory tube rotator is suitable for applications including immunoprecipitation, prevention of blood coagulation, latex diagnostics, sample resuspension, protein binding, nucleic acid purification workflows, and gentle biological sample mixing.

Note: The 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes Holder (Cat. No. 8031412100) is supplied with Disk Accessories Type-3 (Cat. No. 18900162) as the standard accessory. For additional tube holders and compatible accessories, please refer to the Accessories section below.

Applications

The MX-RD-Pro digital tube rotator is designed for workflows that require controlled, low-speed rotational mixing rather than aggressive vortexing. It helps keep samples suspended and supports consistent contact during incubation, binding, and preparation steps.

  • Gentle mixing of biological samples in 1.5 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL centrifuge tubes

  • Blood sample mixing to help maintain suspension and support anti-coagulation workflows

  • Immunoprecipitation and antibody-antigen binding reactions

  • Protein binding, bead washing, and low-shear sample incubation steps

  • Nucleic acid purification workflows requiring consistent tube rotation

  • DNA purification and magnetic bead suspension mixing where gentle contact is needed

  • Latex diagnostics and particle suspension mixing

  • Cell suspension mixing where a softer rotational motion is preferred

  • Sample resuspension after settling during storage or preparation

  • Hybridization and general molecular biology sample preparation

  • Clinical research sample preparation and routine laboratory mixing

  • Biochemistry, molecular biology, and life science research workflows

FAQ

What is the MX-RD-Pro Tube Rotator used for?

The MX-RD-Pro is used for gentle rotational mixing of biological samples in centrifuge tubes. Common applications include immunoprecipitation, blood sample mixing, prevention of coagulation, latex diagnostics, sample resuspension, protein binding, and nucleic acid purification workflows.

What tube sizes are compatible with this laboratory tube rotator?

With compatible disk accessories, the MX-RD-Pro supports 1.5 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL centrifuge tube formats. Disk Accessories Type-1 is used for 1.5 mL tubes, Type-2 for 15 mL tubes, and Type-3 for 50 mL tubes.

Is the MX-RD-Pro suitable for 50 mL centrifuge tubes?

Yes. The MX-RD-Pro can be used with the 50 mL centrifuge tubes holder when paired with Disk Accessories Type-3. The 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes Holder (Cat. No. 8031412100) is supplied with Disk Accessories Type-3 (Cat. No. 18900162) as the standard accessory.

What is the speed range of this digital tube rotator?

The speed range is 10-70 rpm. This low-speed range is suitable for controlled, gentle mixing where vortexing may be too aggressive for biological samples or binding reactions.

Why is the 0-90° adjustable tilt angle useful?

The adjustable tilt angle allows users to tune the mixing motion for different tube sizes, fill volumes, and sample types. A higher angle can increase end-over-end mixing, while a lower angle provides a gentler rolling action.

Can this rotating tube mixer run continuously?

Yes. The MX-RD-Pro supports both continuous operation and timed operation. The timer can be set from 1 to 1199 minutes, making it suitable for routine sample incubation and controlled mixing workflows.

Is this product the same as a vortex mixer?

No. A tube rotator provides gentle rotational mixing, while a vortex mixer creates rapid, high-energy agitation. The MX-RD-Pro is better suited for long-duration, low-shear mixing of biological samples, blood tubes, suspensions, and binding reactions.

Can the MX-RD-Pro be used in temperature-controlled environments?

The specified permissible ambient condition is 5-40 °C with 80% RH. Before using the unit inside any chamber, cold room, or incubator, confirm that the operating environment stays within the stated temperature and humidity range.

When can I expect my order to ship?

Most orders are filled and shipped within 2-3 business days from the time they are received.

Our standard shipping usually take 2-5 days.

We also provide express shippping for time-sensitive deliveries.
