The Blood Roller Mixer KCX-321 is designed to provide gentle and continuous mixing of blood samples in suitable collection tubes.
During laboratory sample handling, some blood specimens require mixing to maintain an even distribution of sample components or to mix the sample with additives already present in the collection tube.
The rolling and rocking movement of the KCX-321 helps promote sample homogeneity without relying on vigorous manual shaking.
The four-roller arrangement supports the placement and movement of compatible sample tubes during the mixing process.
The instrument is intended to support routine sample preparation in clinical, diagnostic, blood bank, and research laboratory environments.
Mixing requirements should always follow the collection tube manufacturer's instructions and the laboratory's validated procedure.
Working Principle
The KCX-321 Blood Roller Mixer operates using a mechanical rolling and rocking mixing action.
When the instrument is operating, its four-roller arrangement produces movement that gently rotates and rocks compatible sample tubes.
This movement allows the liquid inside the tubes to circulate and mix.
The continuous rolling action helps maintain an even distribution of sample components during the required mixing period.
Unlike vigorous manual shaking, rolling and rocking provide a gentler approach to mixing appropriate laboratory samples.
The actual mixing duration and operating settings depend on the specimen type, collection tube, and laboratory procedure.
General Operating Workflow
Sample Preparation: Ensure that the collection tubes are properly sealed and suitable for roller mixing.
Tube Placement: Position compatible tubes securely on the roller arrangement.
Instrument Operation: Operate the mixer using its analog controls.
Rolling and Rocking Action: The rollers move the tubes to provide gentle mixing.
Sample Mixing: The contents of the tubes mix during the selected laboratory procedure.
Completion: Stop the instrument and remove the tubes according to the laboratory's sample-handling protocol.
