Magnify Throughput with Long-lasting Laboratory Mixers

Always secure mixing productivity with the right lab mixer presenting speed type and range compatible with your applications. Perform accurate mixing and complete speed control with variable speed mixers like the R4040 RotoBot Mini Rotator from Benchmark Scientific. With the the Benchmark Scientific R4040, you can emulsify samples between 1 RPM-65 RPM, adjusting from gentle to vigorous mixing as needed for research and development, cell culture, microbiology, routine mixing tasks, QA analysis, and production purposes. Consider the Advanced Heavy-Duty Vortex Mixer with NIST Traceable Certificate 120V from Troemner, an equally trusted brand, if you are in need for something with a higher maximum RPM than this one.

Progressive Lab Mixing No Matter What Application

Make sure you know the differences between each mixer types before actually deciding on one to invest in. If you put more focus on stable, subdued but effectual mixing of sample bottles or tubes by turning containers end over end, then the ideal lab mixing workhorse you should acquire are tube rotators. These mixers can accommodate an array of biosamples placed on vessels in different sizes including petridishes, conical tubes, centrifuge tubes, beakers, and more. A model with a digital control, the R4040 RotoBot Mini Rotator from Benchmark Scientific with a temperature range of 2°C - 70°C makes way for reliable sample mixing for applications like hybridization, aerating cultures, dna purification, and protein binding.

  • Advanced programming with a wide variety of rotational modes

  • Set for full 360° rotation, or interrupt rotations with pausing & mixing intervals

  • Slow rotating to vigorous mixing

  • Cold room and incubator safe

  • Accepts common tubes from 1.5 to 50ml

  • Optional rocking platform


The RotoBot™ Rotating Mixers feature advanced programming options that far surpass that of the traditional laboratory rotator. With digital speed control and more than 10 operating modes, the RotoBot can be selected to perform a wide variety of rotating, mixing and vibrating actions. In addition, these actions can be combined in succession using the C1 and C2 “Custom Modes” , providing the user with a nearly infinite level of programming.

The RotoBot and RotoBot Mini each inlcude an assortment of vertical tube holders. The Mini model is supplied with holders for 12 x 1.5ml tubes, 2 x 15ml & 2 x 50ml tubes; the standard model, 30 x 1.5/2.0ml, 8 x 15ml & 2 x 50ml tubes. For higher capacity applications, more of these holders can be purchased as accessories. In addition, horizontal holders are available for applications such as Western blotting and hybridization. The unique, sliding attachment allows for quick and easy changing of tube holders.

For rocking applications, a platform with a non-slip rubber mat is available. Once attached, simply select the “PP” mode to turn the rotator into a platform rocker.
