Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the analog and digital models?
The analog GTR-HA offers dial-based adjustable speed with 36 tube clips for 2.0 ml tubes. The digital GTR-HD adds programmable speed and adjustable rotation angle with a 16-place holder for 50 ml tubes.
Can these rotators be used in a cold room or incubator?
Yes. Both models feature sealed, powder-coated construction suitable for refrigerated environments and incubators, making them appropriate for temperature-sensitive mixing applications.
Which plug types are included?
Each unit ships with US, UK, and EU plugs and operates on 120-240V, 50/60Hz, allowing use across multiple regional power standards without an external adapter.
How many tubes can each model hold?
The analog GTR-HA includes 36 tube holder clips for 2.0 ml tubes. The digital GTR-HD provides a 16-place tube holder configured for 50 ml tubes.
