3D Tube Rocker, 20 rpm Fixed Speed, 240V 50Hz UK Plug — 1/Each
The Globe Scientific 3D Tube Rocker delivers a continuous three-dimensional gyrating motion that keeps blood samples, cell suspensions, and viscous reagents evenly mixed without foaming. Bench scientists rely on it for hematology specimen homogenization, gentle antibody-antigen incubation, and resuspending settled particulates ahead of assay setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plug type and voltage does this rocker use?
This model ships with a UK plug rated for 240V, 50Hz operation. Confirm your facility supplies matching mains power before installation; a different regional configuration may be required for non-UK outlets.
Is the rocking speed adjustable?
No. The GTR-3D-UK operates at a fixed 20 rpm, optimized for gentle, low-shear mixing of blood and sensitive samples. Fixed-speed operation also simplifies reproducible protocol documentation.
What is 3D motion and how does it differ from a standard rocker?
A 3D motion combines rocking and gyrating movement, circulating sample contents in three planes. Compared with simple seesaw rocking, this keeps particulates suspended more uniformly while minimizing foaming.
Can solvents be used on the platform?
Aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and alcohols are well tolerated. Avoid aromatic and chlorinated solvents on the platform mat, and wipe any acetonitrile spills promptly to protect the surface.
