Gilson Roto-Mini Plus Rotator

The Gilson Roto-Mini Plus Rotator is a compact tube rotator designed to support a broad range of laboratory mixing applications. It is well suited to procedures such as resuspension, protein binding, nucleic acid purification, histochemistry and hybridisation, where consistent and controlled sample agitation is required. The system is supplied with interchangeable tube holders, allowing secure accommodation of common laboratory tube sizes ranging from 0.5 mL to 50 mL.

Offering variable speed control from 5 to 70 rpm, the Roto-Mini Plus provides flexibility across a wide range of protocols. Three distinct mixing modes enable users to tailor motion to specific sample requirements: combined rotation with oscillation for enhanced mixing efficiency, rotation with programmed pauses to support binding reactions, and gentle rocking in a see-saw motion for delicate samples. This versatility makes the Roto-Mini Plus a practical and adaptable addition to routine laboratory workflows.

Features
