Double Tier Tube Rocker (GTR-2-AS) Overview
The Globe Scientific Double Tier Tube Rocker (GTR-2-AS) delivers gentle, continuous rocking motion across two stacked platforms, doubling sample capacity within a compact bench footprint. Adjustable speed control spans 0-30 rpm, letting technicians dial in the precise agitation needed for delicate suspensions, blood samples, and reagent blending.
Two-tier construction makes this rocker a practical choice for labs running multiple sample sets at once. Speed flexibility supports protocols that require slow, steady mixing without aerosol generation or foaming. Universal power input handles 100-240VAC at 50-60Hz, so the unit operates reliably across regional voltage standards.
Built by Globe Scientific for routine laboratory use, this rocker keeps samples in motion through long incubations and staining procedures. Consistent rocking helps maintain homogeneity and prevents cells or particulates from settling.

Laboratory Applications
Tube rockers support gentle mixing tasks where vortexing would be too aggressive. Hematology labs use rocking motion to keep blood specimens homogenized before analysis, while immunoassay workflows rely on steady agitation during incubation and washing steps. Adjustable speed lets users tune motion to match sample sensitivity.
Two-tier capacity suits histology staining, hybridization, and reagent equilibration where batch throughput matters. Slow settings help blend viscous solutions without introducing bubbles, and faster settings keep suspensions uniform during extended protocols. Researchers running parallel sample sets gain efficiency from the stacked platform design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What speed range does the GTR-2-AS offer?
This rocker provides adjustable speed from 0 to 30 rpm, allowing technicians to set gentle or faster rocking depending on sample requirements.
Can the unit operate on international voltage?
Yes. Universal power input accepts 100-240VAC at 50-60Hz, supporting use across common regional electrical standards.
Why choose a double tier rocker?
Two stacked platforms double sample capacity within a single bench footprint, helping labs process parallel sample sets without occupying additional counter space.
