The Long Deck Rocking Rotator is a long-deck single-layer rocking rotator featuring adjustable speed control (0-30 rpm), fixed 40° tilt angle, continuous operation mode, and a maintenance-free brushless DC motor, designed for gentle, uniform mixing of blood tubes, serology specimens, and molecular biology samples in clinical diagnostic and research laboratories .
Key features include a long deck (405mm length) that accommodates up to 16 × 5-10mL blood collection tubes, 6 × 50mL centrifuge tubes, or 14 × 15mL centrifuge tubes using interchangeable silicone mattresses, fixed 40° ± 3° rocking motion for gentle, thorough mixing, continuous operation mode for extended use, analog speed control (0-30 rpm) with On/Off switch and indicator light, and a maintenance-free brushless DC motor for quiet, reliable operation . The unit's compact footprint (405 × 160 × 130 mm) and lightweight design (2.2 kg) allow easy benchtop placement .
The Long Deck Rocking Rotator accommodates a variety of tube formats via interchangeable silicone mattress accessories (16-position for 5-10mL blood tubes, 6-position for 50mL tubes, 14-position for 15mL tubes), with universal voltage (100-240V, 50/60Hz) enabling use in laboratories worldwide without voltage conversion . The cold room and incubator compatibility (5-40°C operating temperature, ≤80% RH) allows sample mixing under controlled temperature conditions for temperature-sensitive applications .
For the clinical laboratory scientist and phlebotomist, the SK-R30L-E ensures gentle, thorough mixing of blood samples after collection—preventing clot formation, platelet activation, and hemolysis that could compromise complete blood count (CBC) and coagulation study (PT/PTT) results . For the immunology technologist, it supports RPR and VDRL serological testing for infectious diseases (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis) . For the molecular biologist, it facilitates gentle mixing of DNA, RNA, and protein samples for PCR and sequencing workflows .
Universal voltage (100-240V, 50/60Hz) enables use in laboratories worldwide without voltage conversion . The silicone mattresses provide secure tube retention and are easy to clean and decontaminate between sample batches .
For the patient undergoing coagulation monitoring (warfarin, heparin), complete blood count (CBC), serological testing for infectious diseases, or molecular diagnostic testing, the Long Deck Rocking Rotator gentle rocking motion ensures accurate test results that guide appropriate treatment decisions—preventing false-negative or false-positive results due to improper sample mixing, clot formation, or platelet activation .
