Thermo Scientific Vari-Mix Tube Rocker
The Thermo Scientific Vari-Mix Tube Rocker is designed to provide a gentle but thorough rocking motion for uniform mixing of fluids in small collection tubes with a diameter of 6 to 20 mm and up to 150 mm in length. The platform utilizes this rocking motion at an adjustable speed range of approximately 2 to 20 RPM, as well as an adjustable tilt angle from 1 to 48. The Vari-Mix Tube Rocker can also be placed in a cold room with a minimum temperature of -4C, or in an incubator up to a maximum temperature of 60C, making it ideal for many different applications. All of our equipment will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo Scientific Vari-Mix Tube Rocker includes:
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Guide
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Validate that the power supply and PCB deliver stable, correct voltage outputs across all necessary connections, ensuring reliable operation
- Thoroughly inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels; replace affected elements to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Test the full range of button functionality, confirming responsive, accurate input recognition across all settings
- Conduct a detailed inspection of bearings and bearing housing, identifying any worn or damaged bearings, and replace as needed to prevent operational disruption
- Examine the drive belt for signs of cracking, fraying, or material breakdown; replace as required to ensure sustained performance
- Measure and adjust motor drive belt tension to optimal specifications, securing reliable and efficient power transmission
- Verify accuracy of the onboard timer, confirming proper functionality and replacing if it deviates from expected performance
- Calibrate shaker rotation speed with a NIST-traceable tachometer, validating precision within specified operational limits
- Run the shaker continuously for an 8-12 hour testing period, closely observing the shaking platform for smooth, consistent motion, while monitoring for any error indicators such as knocking, skipping, or unusual vibrations
- Perform a comprehensive cosmetic inspection to confirm the device’s exterior meets aesthetic and quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
