Introduction Note With a 240V/60 Hz power supply the speed is 20 rpm, with a 240V/50 Hz, 16.5 rpm.

The Speci-Mix Test Tube Specimen Mixer provides gentle but thorough mixing of in vitro diagnostic specimens. The specimens are placed in the grooves of the white silicone pad, which is mounted on the platform. The platform rocks at a constant speed to provide gentle and thorough mixing of test tube contents.

General Usage

Do not use this product for anything other than its intended usage.

Principles of Operation

A synchronous gear motor drives a cam and linkage assembly that is attached to the rocker plate, which rocks in a cyclic 48° maximum motion at 18 rpm.

Installation

Remove the Speci-Mix from the carton. Check electrical specifications and plug into a properly grounded receptacle.

Operation Place tubes in the grooves of the white silicone pad. Center tubes for balanced mixing. On the side without ridges, the reversible pad will accept tubes over 125mm in length. The side with ridges will accept tubes less than 125mm in length. Turn the switch to the “on” position to start the mixing.

Precautions and Limitations 1.

2.

Do not overload by weight. Loads over 1-1/4 pounds may cause jerky rocking action.

Wash white silicone pad with soap and water and rinse when needed to assure the friction-grip quality of the pad.

Maintenance and Servicing Warning To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect from power supply before maintenance and servicing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

1. 2. 3.

The drive motor and linkage assembly do not require lubrication. The drive motor is impedance protected. Jerky rocking action without a load indicates motor replacement is necessary.

Failure of the unit when plugged in and with the toggle switch in the “on” position indicates defective toggle switch, malfunctioning drive motor or disengaged linkage. Remove right end cap to observe.

General Cleaning Instructions

Wipe exterior surfaces with lightly dampened cloth containing mild soap solution.
