Description
Rotator RS-RD 5 is a compact laboratory rotator designed for gentle overhead mixing of reaction and centrifuge tubes in routine sample preparation. The unit operates across a working range of 0 to 80 l/min and is supplied ready for use with a full set of 36 fastening clips: twelve clips each for 1,5/2,0 ml reaction tubes and twelve clips each for 15 ml and 50 ml centrifuge tubes. This configuration supports flexible tube handling without immediate need for extra holders. Weighing 2,000 kg and delivered as a single instrument, the rotator suits benchtop workflows in molecular biology, biochemistry and general analytical laboratories where controlled tube rotation is required. The RS-RD 5 from manufacturer Phönix Instrument integrates into existing shaker and overhead-mixer setups for homogenisation, resuspension and incubation steps. Its clip assortment covers common microcentrifuge and conical tube formats, helping laboratories maintain consistent mixing conditions across multiple sample volumes. Ideal for continuous or intermittent rotation tasks, the instrument provides a practical core unit for sample processing stations that rely on reliable tube retention and straightforward operation.

Questions about Rotator RS-RD 5, 0 to 80 l/min, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Rotator RS-RD 5, 0 to 80 l/min, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Phönix Instrument for laboratory use. It sits in Shakers, rockers & rotators, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A shaker, rocker or rotator moves a rack, a plate or a bottle so the contents keep moving without a stirrer bar. Orbital, reciprocating and rocking motions are different. The platform, the load and the speed range are the specification.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
