5–99 RPM Variable Speed · Dual Display · Two Mixing Modes · Brushless DC Motor · Incubator & Cold Room Compatible
Orbital shakers splash. Vortexers are too aggressive for fragile samples. The TRS064 solves both problems — its six-roller design gently but thoroughly rotates tubes through continuous end-over-end contact, preventing foaming and splashing while ensuring complete homogenization of even the most viscous or stratified samples, from 5 RPM for delicate blood preparations to 99 RPM for rapid resuspensions.
The Right Motion for Sensitive Samples
Not every mixing task belongs on an orbital shaker or vortex mixer. Blood samples, viscous suspensions, cell cultures, and immunoprecipitation preparations require the smooth, continuous end-over-end motion that only a tube roller delivers — keeping samples in constant, gentle contact with the roller surface without the turbulence that generates foam or causes shear damage to cells and macromolecules.
The TRS064 delivers that motion across a 5–99 RPM speed range with two selectable mixing modes, a dual digital display showing both speed and timer simultaneously, and a brushless DC motor engineered for continuous vibration-free operation. Its compact six-roller platform fits on any benchtop and operates equally well in cold rooms, walk-in refrigerators, and standard incubators — making it the most versatile gentle-mixing solution in the Surge Scientific range.
Two Mixing Modes
Normal Mode
Continuous unidirectional roller rotation at the set speed. Ideal for standard tube rolling applications — blood mixing, resuspension of settled particles, and general sample homogenization where consistent uninterrupted motion is required throughout the protocol.
Alternative Mode
Bidirectional alternating motion — the rollers periodically reverse direction to re-engage samples from different contact angles. Particularly effective for viscous or high-density suspensions where unidirectional rolling alone leaves unmixed pockets at tube ends.
Six rollers. Simultaneous processing. No adapters. The TRS064 accommodates multiple tubes of various sizes across its six rollers simultaneously — no racks, no clamps, no adapter purchases required. Load tubes directly onto the rollers and start rolling. Remove individual tubes during a run without stopping the instrument.
