Benchmark BenchBlotterโ„ข (BR1000) is a fixed-speed 2D platform rocker

$498.01

The Benchmark TubeRocker (M2100) is a compact 2D platform rocker designed specifically for gentle, consistent mixing of sample tubes from 1.5mL microtubes to 50mL conical tubes. Featuring an optimized fixed speed of 24 RPM (20 RPM at 230V) and precisely calibrated ยฑ30-degree tilt angle, this tube rocker delivers thorough mixing action ideal for immunoassays, antibody binding reactions, protein blotting, cell culture washing, and general laboratory mixing applications requiring gentle agitation. The simple one-switch operation eliminates complicated controls and settings, allowing users to place tubes directly on the 12 x 4.5 inch platform and begin rocking immediately. With no adapters or mounting hardware required, the TubeRocker provides instant productivity for routine mixing tasks in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, cell culture, and research laboratories.

Engineered for versatility and reliability, the TubeRocker operates safely in environmental conditions from +4ยฐC to +45ยฐC, making it suitable for use inside cold rooms, refrigerators, laboratory incubators, or on standard benchtops. The compact footprint of just 13.3 x 5.5 x 4 inches enables placement in crowded workspaces, incubators with limited shelf space, or cold storage environments where larger rockers won’t fit. The lightweight 4-pound design facilitates easy relocation between workstations or environmental chambers, while the sturdy construction supports loads up to 5 pounds for high-capacity tube processing. The temperature-resistant motor and electronics ensure consistent performance whether mixing samples at refrigerated temperatures or in warm incubation environments.

ARES Scientific offers the Benchmark TubeRocker as a simple, reliable solution for laboratories requiring gentle tube mixing without the complexity or cost of programmable rockers. The fixed speed and tilt angle are optimized specifically for tube mixing applications, eliminating setup time and ensuring consistent results across users and runs. Backed by Benchmark’s 2-year warranty and compatible with standard laboratory tube racks, the TubeRocker delivers the simplicity, environmental versatility, and compact design that modern laboratories demand for efficient sample processing and reagent mixing workflows.
