  • A Small Flask Hold Down Spring for securely fastening smaller vessels to the platform.
Does the rotator have a digital timer and notification?

Yes, the Unico Orbital Rotator provides excellent control over your mixing cycles using digital displays for both time and speed.

  • Digital Timer: The timer is digitally adjustable from 0 up to 99 hours and 59 minutes.
  • Operational Control: A three-position switch allows for constant operation, off, or timed mixing.
  • Cycle Notification: An indicator bell signals the end of the programmed timed cycle, ensuring operational flexibility and convenience.
What is the size of the mixing platform on the Unico Orbital Rotator?

The mixing platform size of the Unico Orbital Rotator is 11” x 11”.

What are the best uses for this orbital rotator?

The Unico Orbital Rotator is a highly versatile instrument designed for precise, consistent orbital agitation in clinical, research, and educational laboratories.

It is ideal for applications requiring gentle yet thorough mixing, including:

  • Serology & Immunology: Commonly used for RPR and VDRL slide agglutination tests.
  • Microbiology: General agitation of cultures in plates and flasks.
  • General Assays: Mixing of solutions across various laboratory consumables.

The large 11” x 11” mixing platform is secured with a removable rubber pad and is capable of accommodating a wide array of samples, such as RPR/VDRL slides, 96 well microtiter plates, culture plates, flasks, and small test tube racks.

Does the unit offer flexible operational modes?

Yes, the Unico Orbital Rotator provides versatile control options to suit different laboratory protocols. It features a three-position switch that allows users to easily toggle between: <ul><li>Constant On: For continuous, uninterrupted agitation.</li><li>Timed Mixing: For protocols requiring specific cycle durations.</li><li>Off: To safely power down the unit.</li></ul> Additionally, the device includes an audible indicator bell that alerts you immediately when a timed cycle is complete.

Is the platform surface designed for easy maintenance?

Absolutely. The spacious 11” x 11” mixing platform is equipped with a high-quality, removable and replaceable rubber pad. This design ensures: <ul><li>Secure Grip: Keeps your slides, plates, and flasks firmly in place during operation.</li><li>Easy Cleaning: The removable pad can be quickly cleaned or replaced to maintain a sanitary workspace, preventing cross-contamination between different sample sets.</li></ul>

How does the humidity cover help protect my samples?

The included humidity cover is a vital accessory for sensitive laboratory applications. It features a dedicated moisturizing sponge that helps create a stable, humidified environment inside the cover. This is particularly beneficial for: <ul><li>Preventing Evaporation: Keeping samples hydrated during long, continuous mixing runs.</li><li>Maintaining Integrity: Protecting specimens from ambient room air, which is essential for consistent and reproducible results in immunoassay and culture work.</li></ul>
