Globe Scientific 3D Tube Rocker, 20 rpm, 240V/50Hz, EU Plug — 1/Each
The Globe Scientific 3D Tube Rocker (GTR-3D-EU) delivers a smooth, three-dimensional rocking motion that keeps samples in continuous gentle suspension. Designed for blood sample homogenization, cell and bead suspension maintenance, and reagent mixing, this unit runs at a fixed 20 rpm for reproducible, low-shear agitation across routine lab workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plug and voltage does the GTR-3D-EU use?
This model ships with an EU plug and is rated for 240V, 50Hz operation. Confirm your facility's mains supply matches before ordering, as it is not configured for 120V/60Hz outlets.
Is the rocking speed adjustable?
No. The GTR-3D-EU operates at a fixed 20 rpm, providing consistent, repeatable low-shear agitation ideal for sensitive samples like whole blood.
What kind of motion does this rocker produce?
It generates a three-dimensional (gyratory tilting) motion rather than a simple back-and-forth rock, promoting thorough, gentle mixing across the entire platform surface.
Can solvents be used near this unit?
Aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and alcohols are well tolerated. Avoid aromatic and chlorinated solvents, and wipe any spills promptly to protect the platform and housing.
