Frequently asked questions
Is the Rock-IT Tube Rocker suitable for fragile blood cells?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Tube Rocker is specifically designed for gentle mixing at 25 RPM, which ensures uniform mixing while preserving the integrity of fragile blood cells. It is also ideal for use with hematology controls and other diagnostic materials in laboratory settings.
Can the rocker accommodate 15 tubes?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Tube Rocker has a secure capacity to hold and uniformly mix up to 15 tubes simultaneously.
Key features supporting this capacity include:
- The operation speed of a gentle 25 rocking cycles per minute (RPM), ensuring cell integrity is preserved while mixing.
- A unique, non-slip mixing pad that is reversible and autoclavable, allowing it to accommodate standard as well as larger or hard-to-mix tubes.
What is the smooth, gentle mixing speed?
The Unico Rock-IT Tube Rocker operates at a fixed, smooth, and gentle speed of 25 Rocking Cycles per Minute (RPM).
This specific, low speed is crucial for sensitive laboratory requirements:
- Preserves Cell Integrity: The gentle rocking motion ensures uniform mixing without damaging fragile specimens, making it ideal for blood cells.
- Ensures Uniformity: It guarantees thorough and consistent sample agitation across the full 15-tube capacity.
This precise mixing action is perfectly suited for applications requiring gentle agitation, such as preparing hematology controls.
Does the rocker have a useful top-mounted PAUSE button?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Tube Rocker features a dedicated, top-mounted red PAUSE button. This control is a key functional enhancement designed for both user convenience and product longevity.
Benefits of the PAUSE button include:
- Allows immediate stopping of the rocking motion (25 RPM) to safely add or remove tubes.
- Crucially, it prevents internal gear grinding, which helps to extend the operational life and durability of the unit.
Is this tube rocker available in both 110V and 220V?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT Tube Rocker is available in two distinct voltage configurations to suit different laboratory environments:
- 110 V Variant
- 220 V Variant
When ordering, please ensure you select the appropriate voltage option to match the power supply in your facility.
Is this tube rocker heavy-duty for daily use?
Yes, the Unico Rock-IT is a heavy-duty and silent mixer specifically engineered for reliable, everyday operation in laboratory settings.
Its design supports continuous daily use through several key features:
