Single-Tier Tube Rocker, 9.9" x 6.7" Platform, Fixed Speed — 1/Each
The Globe Scientific Single-Tier Tube Rocker delivers consistent, gentle rocking motion for routine sample homogenization, blood tube mixing, and cell suspension maintenance. Its low-profile platform suits crowded bench space, while the fixed-speed drive ensures reproducible agitation across batches in hematology, immunoassay, and molecular biology workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the GTR-FS and GTR-FS-UK-EU models?
The GTR-FS runs on 120V/60Hz with a US plug at 24 rpm, while the GTR-FS-UK-EU runs on 240V/50Hz with UK and EU plugs at 20 rpm. Select the model matching your facility's mains supply.
Is the rocking speed adjustable?
No. Both models operate at a fixed speed, ensuring reproducible, gentle agitation without operator-to-operator variation across runs.
What size containers fit on the platform?
The 9.9" x 6.7" non-slip platform accommodates tube racks, blood tubes, and small flasks. Retaining edges help secure vessels during continuous rocking.
Can it be cleaned with disinfectant?
Yes. Wipe the housing and platform with aqueous buffers, dilute acid/base solutions, or alcohol-based disinfectants. Avoid aromatic and chlorinated solvents, which may degrade surfaces.
