Specifications

What Is the VDRL Rotator (Clinical) Used For?

The VDRL test is a slide flocculation test used in screening for syphilis: patient serum is mixed with a prepared antigen on a slide, and the mixture must be kept in steady motion for a set time so that any flocculation can develop before the slide is read under a microscope. The technician places the cavity slides on the rubber-covered platform and switches on the rotator, which oscillates at up to 180 RPM. With spring holders or clamps fitted, the same platform can mix blood bottles and flasks, and the continuous duty rating allows it to run through a series of tests.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity — the number of rotators required.
• Holders — whether spring holders or clamps are needed for blood bottles and flasks.
