Frequently asked questions
Does the tube rocker include an autoclavable pad?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker includes a heavy-duty platform pad that is both reversible and autoclavable.
This design offers multiple advantages for laboratory environments:
- Enhanced Sterility: The autoclavable feature ensures you can meet strict cleaning protocols and maintain high levels of sterility.
- Versatile Tube Accommodation: Because the pad is reversible and non-slip, it can be easily adjusted to support various formats, including larger or difficult-to-mix tubes and vials.
Does the gentle motion protect sensitive specimens?
The Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is specifically engineered to provide smooth, gentle rocking motion suitable for delicate specimens. This ensures uniform mixing while critically preserving sample integrity.
The gentle action is ideal for applications involving:
- Fragile Blood Cells: The movement protects sensitive components, such as blood cells, from damage.
- Hematology Controls: Provides the consistent, low-impact agitation required for accurate preparation.
- General Lab Samples: Suitable for any biological materials requiring gentle agitation rather than vigorous vortexing.
The unit operates at a fixed speed of 25 rocking cycles per minute and can accommodate up to eight tubes or vials simultaneously.
Does the rocker protect fragile biological samples?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is specifically designed for gentle handling to ensure the integrity of fragile biological samples, such as blood cells.
It achieves this protection through:
- Smooth Rocking Motion: The device utilizes a gentle, uniform rocking motion that minimizes shear forces.
- Fixed Mixing Speed: It operates at a fixed speed of 25 rocking cycles per minute. This optimized speed ensures thorough specimen mixing while preserving the structural integrity of delicate components.
Is the rocking speed fixed and gentle?
Yes, the mixing motion is fixed, smooth, and gentle, optimized for preserving delicate samples. The Unico Rock-IT Jr operates at a precise, non-adjustable speed of 25 rocking cycles per minute.
This specific, gentle action provides two key benefits for laboratory work:
- Uniform Mixing: Ensures specimens are thoroughly mixed for accurate and reliable test results.
- Specimen Integrity: Protects fragile materials, such as blood cells, from damage, which is crucial when preparing sensitive samples like hematology controls.
Is the rocking speed fixed for gentle mixing?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is engineered for consistent, high-precision mixing and operates at a fixed, gentle speed.
- Rocking Speed: The unit maintains a fixed rate of 25 rocking cycles per minute (RPM).
- Benefit: This smooth, gentle motion is specifically optimized to ensure specimens are thoroughly and uniformly mixed while preserving the integrity of sensitive components, such as fragile blood cells.
Does the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker have a pause function?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker features an exclusive Red “Pause” Button designed for optimal convenience and durability.This unique feature allows users to safely add or remove tubes or vials mid-cycle without stopping the motor or holding the platform, which helps extend the unit’s operating life.
What is the maximum tube mixing capacity?
The Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is designed for efficient batch processing and can handle a capacity of up to eight tubes or a combination of tubes and vials simultaneously.
The mixing platform utilizes a specialized, reversible, non-slip pad that is:
- Autoclavable for thorough sterilization.
- Capable of accommodating a mix of standard laboratory tubes and larger vials.
For added convenience, the unit features an exclusive red “Pause” Button allowing users to safely add or remove samples without manually stopping the platform or stressing the motor.
Is the tube rocker available in multiple voltages?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is available in two distinct voltage configurations to suit various regional and laboratory power requirements:
- 110 V (Manufacturer MPN: L-TTR100)
- 220 V (Manufacturer MPN: L-TTR100E)
Does the rocker operate quietly?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker is engineered for professional laboratory settings and provides almost silent operation.
Its quiet performance is supported by its design features, making it suitable for continuous, daily use:
- Gentle Rocking: It operates at a fixed, smooth speed of 25 rocking cycles per minute, which ensures uniform mixing while keeping mechanical noise to a minimum.
- Specimen Safety: This gentle motion is ideal for preserving the integrity of fragile samples, such as blood cells.
- Durable Build: The heavy-duty construction is designed for years of reliable service.
Are the tube rocker's dimensions compact?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Jr Tube Rocker features a highly compact and space-saving design, making it easy to integrate into busy lab benches. Its specific size specifications are:
- Dimensions (L x W x H): 8.6” x 4.7” x 5”
- Unit Weight: 4 lb (1.8 kg)
Despite its small footprint, this unit is engineered for heavy-duty use and reliably handles up to eight tubes or vials simultaneously.
