Disk Rotator

The Disk Rotator (MX-RD-E) is a variable-speed disk rotator (0-80 rpm) designed for gentle, uniform end-over-end mixing of blood tubes, serology specimens, and molecular biology samples in clinical diagnostic and research laboratories . The 360-degree disk rotation motion provides thorough mixing without foaming, hemolysis, or activation of sensitive blood components—critical for coagulation testing, serology, and molecular diagnostics .

For the clinical laboratory scientist and coagulation technologist, the Disk Rotator (MX-RD-E) supports gentle mixing of blood coagulation samples (PT, PTT, fibrinogen, D-dimer)—preventing clot activation while ensuring proper distribution of anticoagulants for accurate test results . For the serology technologist, the disk rotator provides gentle mixing of serum and plasma specimens for infectious disease testing (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis), antibody screening, and blood bank compatibility testing .

The Disk Rotator (MX-RD-E) features variable speed control (0-80 rpm) allowing precise adjustment of mixing intensity for different sample types, tube holders that accommodate blood collection tubes (1-10 mL) and microcentrifuge tubes (0.5-2.0 mL), and low-noise operation suitable for clinical laboratory environments . Digital models include programmable timer (0-99h59min) for automated workflows .

For the patient undergoing coagulation monitoring for anticoagulant therapy (warfarin, heparin), serological testing for infectious diseases, or molecular diagnostic testing for genetic disorders, the Disk Rotator (MX-RD-E) gentle, uniform mixing ensures accurate test results that guide appropriate treatment decisions—preventing false-negative or false-positive results due to improper sample mixing .
