Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the analog and digital tube rotator models?
The analog GTR-IA offers variable speed with a fixed mixing angle, while the digital GTR-ID provides variable speed and adjustable angle with an 8-place disk for 50 mL tubes and precise digital readout.
Can these rotators run on European or UK mains power?
Yes. Both models accept 120–240V at 50/60Hz and ship with US, UK, and EU plug adapters, so they operate on standard mains in most regions without a separate transformer.
What tube sizes do these rotators accommodate?
The GTR-IA is configured for 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes, and the GTR-ID includes an 8-place disk sized for 50 mL conical tubes. Contact us to confirm alternate disk configurations.
Are the rotators suitable for cold-room or incubator use?
The sealed motor housing supports continuous operation across typical lab temperatures, making both models well suited to cold-room hybridization and ambient bench mixing. Verify environmental ratings for extreme conditions.
