Shibata Scientific Test Tube Mixer TTM-1 with Touch and Continuous Operation Modes

The Shibata Scientific Test Tube Mixer TTM-1 is designed for efficient mixing and stirring of various laboratory vessels, including test tubes and small flasks up to approximately 100 mL. Featuring a neoprene sponge rubber head, it provides a secure and gentle grip by light pressure, enhancing sample stability during mixing. The instrument offers versatile operation with both touch start mode for momentary mixing and continuous operation mode equipped with adjustable speed control, operating at speeds from 350 to 2500 rpm under no load. Powered by a Kumatori motor, the mixer ensures quiet operation and a low center of gravity for enhanced stability on the benchtop. With compact dimensions (100 mm width × 170 mm depth × 135 mm height) and a weight of 2.5 kg, it is suitable for laboratory environments focused on biotechnology applications, including molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and cell biology workflows that require stable and controlled sample agitation. This unit is a used model sold as-is, with potential limitations in original performance and function, making it suitable for laboratories prioritizing cost-effective solutions in routine sample mixing and synthetic biology research.
