Stuart SRT9 roller mixer: versatility and performance for your laboratory mixing needs
The Stuart SRT9 is a mixing device designed to meet the demanding needs of modern laboratories that regularly process sensitive or viscous samples or require mixing without excessive aeration. This analogue-controlled model is equipped with nine rollers mounted on a sturdy frame, offering a fixed speed of 33 rpm for smooth and efficient mixing action. Thanks to this stable speed, the SRT9 is particularly suitable for applications requiring gentle agitation, such as processing blood samples or suspending solids homogeneously in liquids.
What really sets the SRT9 apart is its user-oriented design. Stuart has incorporated two key features that enhance the versatility and safety of the device: removable side panels and detachable rollers. The side panels are designed to secure tubes and vials during prolonged use of the device, preventing accidental slippage while allowing continuous visual monitoring of the process. They are easy to remove, making cleaning quick and simple, while also allowing the integration of non-standard sized containers. The detachable rollers allow the tray to be configured to the specific needs of each user by removing or repositioning certain rollers to accommodate larger or differently shaped containers. This modularity is essential in research or diagnostic environments where flexibility is paramount.
With its compact dimensions (565 x 360 x 110 mm) and weight of 6.9 kg, the SRT9 fits easily into any laboratory, even where space is limited. In addition, it can operate in incubators up to 60°C or in cold rooms from 4°C, significantly increasing its range of applications. To maximise bench space, a magnetic stacking system is also available as an option, allowing up to three units to be stacked without tools using powerful magnetic blocks.
In terms of hygiene, the SRT9 benefits from BioCote® technology, an antimicrobial protection based on silver integrated into the device's materials. This technology actively reduces the growth of bacteria, mould and fungi, thereby limiting the risk of cross-contamination and helping to maintain a safer and cleaner working environment. This is a compelling argument for laboratories where biological safety is a priority.
Reliable, quiet and low-maintenance, the Stuart SRT9 mixer is the tool of choice for clinical, research, pharmaceutical and industrial laboratories. It combines ease of use, efficiency and adaptability in a compact format, all backed by impeccable manufacturing quality.
