What is a Laboratory Mixer?

A laboratory mixer can evenly distribute a mixture with little to no human error, so that research and fluid tests can be conducted in an orderly manner. These mixers are automated and don’t require any manual spinning. 

MFI carries the most reliable brands in medical equipment, and for laboratory mixers we carry the Unico brand. Unico offers tube rockers, including junior size and double decker tube rockers,  and vortex mixers that can cleverly fit various-sized tubes. 

The Unico Vortex Mixers are available in a platform model, standard size, or as the “Mini Mighty” model, to accommodate various sized workstations. MFI carries the following units:

• Unico Platform/Flask Vortex Mixer.
• Unico Vortex Mini Mighty Mixer.

What’s the Difference Between a Rocker and a Mixer?

Mixers are designed to spin fluids at a high rate of velocity, and centrifugal force generates the separation between plasma and blood cells. Rockers provide smooth and gentle movement to thoroughly mix a specimen, and still maintain the integrity of fragile blood cells. Both units have their advantages for specific tests, and it’s recommended that both devices be present in a working laboratory.
