Globe Scientific Tube Roller-Mixer (GTRM-FS) Overview
The Globe Scientific Tube Roller-Mixer (GTRM-FS) delivers gentle, continuous agitation for sample tubes through a combined rolling and rocking motion. Operating at 36rpm with an 11° rocking angle, this unit keeps cells, blood specimens, and viscous solutions in steady suspension without aggressive shear.
Powered by a 120V, 60Hz supply and fitted with a US plug, the mixer suits standard North American bench outlets. Lab technicians benefit from a single-knob workflow that frees hands for other tasks while samples homogenize.
Designed for routine clinical and research benches, this roller-mixer offers a compact footprint that fits into busy workspaces. Procurement teams can standardize on a known Globe Scientific platform for predictable mixing performance across departments.

Laboratory Applications
Roller-mixers support gentle homogenization of blood samples, helping prevent clotting and sedimentation prior to analysis. Clinical labs rely on continuous motion to keep cellular components evenly distributed, while research groups use the same action for resuspending pellets and mixing reagents that need consistent contact.
Beyond hematology, the rolling and rocking pattern works for viscous solutions, stains, and immunoassay buffers that benefit from low-shear blending. Sample-prep workflows in microbiology, cell culture, and molecular biology can use this platform to maintain uniform suspensions over extended periods.
