Benchmark Scientific R3010 10 Roller Mixer, Fixed 38 RPM, Roll & tilt, 13 mm Amplitude

The Benchmark R3010 is ideal for laboratories that require gentle, continuous mixing of liquid samples without excessive agitation. It is commonly used for blood sample mixing, cell culture preparation, hybridization procedures, bacterial suspensions, viscous sample blending, and reagent homogenization. Its simultaneous rolling and tilting motion helps keep samples uniformly mixed while minimizing foaming or sample disruption.

The Benchmark R3010 is designed to handle a wide variety of laboratory containers, including Vacutainers, centrifuge tubes, test tubes, culture bottles, and roller bottles ranging from approximately 8 mm to 200 mm in diameter. Its 10-roller configuration provides flexibility for mixing both small laboratory tubes and larger bottles on the same platform.

Unlike stationary roller mixers, the R3010 combines continuous rolling motion with a gentle 13 mm (0.5 inch) tilt amplitude, creating a wave-like mixing action during each rotation. This additional movement helps ensure samples are mixed thoroughly from end to end and can improve uniformity when working with suspensions, blood samples, or more viscous liquids.

No. The Benchmark R3010 operates at a fixed speed of 38 rpm, selected to provide reliable mixing performance across a broad range of sample types and container sizes. The fixed-speed design makes operation simple while helping laboratories maintain repeatable, standardized mixing conditions between runs.

Yes. The Benchmark R3010 is suitable for use in temperature-controlled environments such as incubators and cold rooms, supporting operating conditions from approximately 4°C to 40°C. This makes it useful for temperature-sensitive biological workflows where gentle sample mixing must occur under controlled environmental conditions.
