Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20

Labtron’s Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 is specifically designed to ensure the safe storage and gentle agitation of platelet bags in clinical and research environments. Platelets are highly sensitive blood components that can lose their viability if not stored under controlled motion. This agitator provides a smooth oscillation pattern that prevents platelet aggregation and maintains their functionality, making it an essential device for blood banks, transfusion centers, and hospital laboratories.

Our Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 can store up to 48 platelet bags simultaneously, making it highly efficient for high-volume storage needs. It comes with 8 individual shelf platforms, each measuring 350 × 350 mm, which provide organized spacing to ensure proper air circulation and uniform motion across all bags, helping maintain consistent storage conditions.

The Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 uses a rotatory-type betatron motion, a gentle and controlled oscillatory movement engineered specifically for sensitive biological samples like platelets. This motion mimics the natural movement required to keep platelets suspended, minimizing stress on the cells and preserving their viability for transfusion or research purposes.

The Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 operates within a speed range of 50 to 70 rpm with a consistent 20 mm amplitude, ensuring uniform oscillation. This combination of speed and amplitude is carefully calibrated to maintain platelet quality without causing mechanical stress, making it ideal for extended storage periods in compliance with standard blood bank protocols.

Yes, the Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 comes with a built-in programmable timer that can be set anywhere between 0 to 9999 minutes or configured for continuous operation. This level of flexibility allows laboratories to tailor operation times based on their workflow, whether for short-term mixing or long-term storage of platelet units.
