Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Benchmark Scientific TubeRoller™ with 10 Rollers (Cat # R3010) — the high-capacity format of the TubeRoller™ series, providing double the roller count and double the platform width of the 5-roller R3005 for labs requiring greater simultaneous tube and bottle rolling capacity. The R3010 is the preferred choice for higher-volume laboratories, clinical environments, and core facilities that routinely process large numbers of blood samples, hybridization tubes, incubation reactions, or roller bottles simultaneously — where the 5-roller R3005 would require multiple loading cycles to process the same batch.
The R3010 delivers identical performance to the R3005 in every respect — the same fixed 38 RPM speed, the same ±5° simultaneous tilt action that provides complete end-to-end mixing throughout the full tube length, and the same 8mm to 200mm vessel compatibility — simply scaled up to accommodate twice as many vessels simultaneously. The wider 18" x 14" platform carries 10 individual rollers on 35mm centers, each measuring 1.2" x 12.5", providing the same thorough, gentle wave-effect mixing performance across all positions simultaneously. Like the R3005, the R3010's built-in tilt mechanism gently elevates each roller approximately 0.5" (13mm) per revolution — creating the wave-like motion that ensures complete end-to-end sample mixing that stationary rollers without tilt cannot achieve.
The R3010 is equally at home in blood banks, clinical reference laboratories, molecular biology labs running large hybridization batches, cell culture facilities using multiple roller bottles, and research labs requiring overnight rolling incubations of large numbers of samples. Cold room and incubator compatible (+4°C to +40°C). Quiet, stable, low-vibration operation. Low-profile 3.5" height fits inside most incubators. 115V, 50–60 Hz. 2-year warranty. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for Benchmark Scientific laboratory equipment.
KEY FEATURES
- 10-roller design — double the capacity of the 5-roller R3005; 18" x 14" platform for simultaneous rolling of twice as many tubes and bottles per load
- Fixed 38 RPM — scientifically selected optimum speed for the broadest range of mixing applications and vessel types
- Simultaneous roll AND ±5° tilt — built-in tilt action elevates each roller ~0.5" (13mm) per revolution; creates gentle wave effect for complete end-to-end mixing
- Broadest vessel compatibility: 8mm to 200mm diameter — from 8mm blood collection tubes and Vacutainers® through test tubes, conical tubes, and roller bottles; no adjustments required
- Double capacity vs. R3005 — accommodates approximately twice as many vessels per load in the same footprint height
- Gentle mixing — ideal for blood sample rolling, hybridization, antibody-antigen reactions, cell staining, and other applications requiring gentle continuous motion
- Individual roller dimensions: 1.2" x 12.5" (3 x 32 cm); roller spacing: 5mm on 35mm centers
- Cold room and incubator compatible — +4°C to +40°C operating temperature range
- Low-profile design: only 3.5" high — fits inside incubators, cold rooms, and under equipment
- Quiet, stable, low-vibration operation
- 115V, 50–60 Hz; 50W
- Weight: 17.6 lbs (8 kg)
- 2-year warranty
- Made by Benchmark Scientific
