Bench Top Platelet Agitator, Floor Standing Platelet Agitator and Platelet Agitator Cum Incubator Models

• Bench top platelet agitators suit small blood banks and donor centres with 15 to 48 bag storage needs and a fixed 70 to 80 strokes per minute cycle. They provide agitation only and must sit inside an existing, compatible platelet incubator such as the PI-10 PLUS. Indicative price range: SAR 8,000 to 22,000 depending on capacity and brand.
• Floor standing and Pro Line style agitators use Delrin roller drawers and perforated, non slip textured platforms for continuous side to side agitation at 36 to 96 bag throughput, and are the better fit for busy hospital blood centres running high daily bag turnover. Indicative price range: SAR 22,000 to 35,000.
• Platelet agitator cum incubator units combine a 70 RPM agitator with CFC free refrigeration, PUF foam insulation and a fixed 22.0°C storage temperature in one 100 x 60 x 150 cm cabinet, removing the need to buy and coordinate two separate machines. Indicative price range: SAR 45,000 to 65,000 for a 48 bag unit.
• Choose a cum incubator model when floor space or budget will not stretch to a standalone incubator and agitator pair. Choose a standalone bench top agitator when you already own a compliant platelet incubator and only need to replace or add agitation capacity, since it is the lower cost route to extra bag capacity.
• Gulf Circle For Laboratory And Medical Supplies carries all three configurations under one account, which is a practical way to compare bench top, floor standing and combined incubator pricing side by side in a single RFQ.

Helmer, Terumo, LMB, EMSAS and BIOBASE Platelet Agitator Models for Blood Banks and Clinical Laboratories

Procurement teams in KSA frequently shortlist by brand before comparing suppliers. Brand pricing is not published and depends on capacity, configuration and import duty, so the ranges below are indicative reference points to size your budget; always confirm final landed pricing through a formal RFQ.

Helmer Scientific Platelet Agitator and Platelet Incubator Models

Official brand reference: helmerinc.com

Helmer PF15-Pro Platelet Agitator for Small Blood Banks

• Sized for a 15 bag capacity, positioning it as the entry point for small blood banks, donor centres and satellite laboratories with low daily platelet throughput.
• Runs as part of Helmer's Pro Line range, designed to be used inside a Pro Line platelet incubator or as a free-standing unit, so it does not force you into a single incubator brand.
• Includes a motion alarm with adjustable delay and volume to confirm platelets remain in continuous motion, and a variable agitation speed that can be tuned to local regulatory requirements rather than running at one fixed rate.
• Compact bench top footprint that fits inside a standard platelet incubator rather than requiring dedicated floor space, a relevant factor for donor centres with limited utility rooms.
• Lower entry cost than the 48 and 96 bag Helmer models, making it the practical choice when full compliance features are required but volume is limited. Indicative price range: SAR 8,000 to 12,000.
• Compare against the 15 bag configuration of the Bacteria Resistant Powder Coated Platelet Agitator from Gulf Circle if bacteria resistant exterior and interior coating is a tender requirement for infection control.

Helmer PF48-Pro Platelet Agitator for 48 Bag Platelet Storage

• Rated for 48 bag capacity, the volume most frequently specified by mid sized hospital blood banks in KSA tenders.
• Shares the same variable agitation speed (typically 40 to 80 cycles per minute), motion alarm and Pro Line drawer design as the PF15-Pro and PF96-Pro, so staff moving between units across a facility do not need to relearn controls.
• Can be operated free-standing or synced with a compatible Pro Line incubator's information centre for continuous agitation monitoring data, useful for facilities documenting agitation performance for audits.
• Directly comparable at capacity level to the Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 (48 bag, 8 shelf, 50 to 70 rpm) and the Platelet Agitator Cum Incubator (48 bag, 70 RPM, integrated cooling); the deciding factor is usually whether you need integrated temperature control or already have it.
• Mid range pricing within the brand, positioned between the PF15-Pro and the higher throughput PF96-Pro. Indicative price range: SAR 18,000 to 24,000.

Helmer PF96-Pro Platelet Agitator for High Volume Blood Centres

• Highest bag capacity in the PF-Pro line, holding up to 96 random donor bags or 32 apheresis (SDP) bags on a countertop footprint, matching the throughput of national blood transfusion centres.
• Same remote alarm contacts and gentle agitation motor design as the smaller PF-Pro models, so alarm wiring and monitoring integration is consistent across a fleet of different capacity units.
• Frequently specified alongside a floor model Pro Line incubator such as the PC3200-Pro, which is built with three shelves each sized to take one PF96-Pro, giving a combined capacity of up to 288 random bags across three agitators.
• Comparable at capacity level to the LMB Agitator 96 and Agitator 96A and to the 96 bag configuration of the Bacteria Resistant Powder Coated Platelet Agitator.
• Highest priced model in the PF-Pro range. Indicative price range: SAR 28,000 to 34,000 for the standalone countertop unit; buyers running high daily platelet volumes should weigh this against deploying two smaller units for redundancy in case one unit needs servicing.

Helmer PC100-Pro, PC900-Pro and PC1200-Pro Platelet Incubator Systems

• The PC-Pro range covers incubation only and is intended to be paired with a PF-Pro agitator, or specified where a facility prefers to standardise on separate agitation and incubation units rather than a combined cabinet.
• Larger Pro Line floor models in this family use OptiCool RT technology, pairing a variable capacity compressor with natural hydrocarbon refrigerants for tighter temperature uniformity and lower energy use than older compressor designs.
• Standard alarm package covers power failure, high and low temperature, door ajar and low battery, with on-demand PDF reporting to support compliance documentation.
• An auto-stop/start function pauses agitation whenever the incubator door is opened and resumes automatically once it closes, protecting platelets from disruption during bag placement or removal.
• Buyers replacing an aging incubator while keeping an existing compliant agitator should shortlist a PC-Pro model rather than a combined agitator cum incubator unit. Indicative price range: SAR 55,000 to 95,000 depending on shelf count and capacity tier.

Terumo Penpol Platelet Agitator and Platelet Incubator Models

Official brand reference: terumopenpol.com

Terumo PA200 and PA300 Platelet Agitators for Hospital Blood Banks

• Entry and mid tier models in the Terumo Penpol range, built to pair with the TC200 platelet incubator for facilities storing 24 or 48 bags.
• Agitation runs at approximately 60 to 65 cycles per minute, with an agitation motion monitoring system that flags interrupted movement for improved operator safety.
• SS304 grade sliding stainless steel trays and a weld free cabinet construction are standard, relevant for facilities that need corrosion resistant equipment under repeated cleaning cycles.
• Terumo Penpol is a well recognised blood bag manufacturer as well as an equipment brand, which is a factor for buyers who prefer to standardise on one supplier across both blood bags and platelet storage hardware.
• Indicative price range: SAR 14,000 to 20,000 for the PA200 to PA300 tier, ordered as an agitator paired with a TC200 incubator.

Terumo PA400 Platelet Agitator and Platelet Incubator with Agitator System

• Top of range Terumo agitator, rated for up to 96 bag capacity when paired with the matching PAI 400 incubator and agitator system.
• Uses a digital temperature recorder controller with a unique airflow system to hold the chamber at the AABB recommended 22°C ± 2°C, with a solution filled sensor bottle to mirror the actual temperature inside a stored bag rather than just ambient air temperature.
• Also offered as part of a combined platelet agitator with incubator system for facilities that want a single Terumo vendor for both agitation and temperature control functions.
• Compare against the Platelet Agitator Cum Incubator when deciding between a Terumo integrated system and a Gulf Circle supplied combined unit at similar capacity, particularly on cabinet construction and refrigeration method.
• Indicative price range: SAR 40,000 to 60,000 for the combined PA400 agitator and incubator system.

Terumo PI200 and PI400 Platelet Incubator Models for Platelet Storage

• Terumo PI200 Platelet Incubator is suitable for blood banks and hospital laboratories requiring compact platelet storage with continuous temperature monitoring and compatibility with Terumo platelet agitators.
• Terumo PI400 Platelet Incubator provides higher storage capacity for facilities handling larger platelet inventories while maintaining a stable 22°C storage temperature recommended for platelet preservation.
• Both models include a pause switch that arrests agitator motion for around 10 seconds to allow easy placement and removal of bags, and a toughened glass door with magnetic gaskets to prevent cold air loss when closed.
• An internal fan automatically switches off when the door opens to preserve internal temperature, and interior lighting activates automatically for better bag visibility, both practical features for busy shift changes.
• A built in voltage stabiliser protects the incubator from input voltage fluctuations, a relevant feature for facilities on less stable local power supply.
• Incubator only models sized to pair with PA200 to PA400 agitators, useful when replacing incubation capacity independently of the agitator fleet.
• Verify IEC 61010 compliance and power failure alarm behaviour, since these are the checks most KSA hospital biomedical engineering departments require before commissioning. Indicative price range: SAR 25,000 to 45,000 depending on PI200 or PI400 capacity.

LMB Technologie and EMSAS Platelet Agitator Models

Official brand references: lmb.de and emsas-as.com.tr

LMB Agitator 24, Agitator 48 and Agitator 60 Platelet Storage Systems

• LMB Technologie, a German manufacturer founded in 1982, covers capacity in finer steps than most competitors, with 24, 48 and 60 bag models letting buyers match storage volume more precisely instead of rounding up to the next standard tier.
• Built in medical grade stainless steel, with independent drawers and built in protection to stop bags falling out during agitation.
• Fitted with an acoustic and visual no-motion alarm that signals when agitation has stopped, consistent across the whole Agitator range.
• Can be run as a standalone unit or combined with LMB's own CLIMAX climatic chamber series, which controls temperature to 22°C ± 2°C with 0.1° accuracy, for buyers who want a single vendor for both functions.

LMB Agitator 96 and Agitator 96A for High Capacity Blood Banks

• Highest capacity tier in the LMB range, aimed at the same high volume blood centres that would otherwise shortlist the Helmer PF96-Pro or Terumo PA400.
• Retains the same stainless steel construction and acoustic and visual alarm system as the smaller Agitator models, so training and maintenance procedures stay consistent if a facility runs multiple capacity tiers.
• The 96A variant is worth comparing against the standard 96 model specifically on alarm configuration and power supply options before quoting, since LMB offers configuration variants within the same capacity class.
• Designed to pair with LMB's CLIMAX chamber for facilities that want integrated agitation and temperature control at high capacity rather than a combined cabinet from another brand.
• Indicative price range: SAR 30,000 to 38,000 for the standalone 96 or 96A unit.

EMSAS PA-4L Platelet Agitator and Trombomixer 307 Blood Bank Mixer

Frequently Asked Questions About Platelet Mixer Suppliers in KSA

Which Platelet Agitator Is Suitable for a Blood Bank?

Match the model to daily platelet bag volume first. Small blood banks and donor centres are generally well served by a 15 to 24 bag unit such as the Helmer PF15-Pro or an LMB Agitator 24. Mid sized hospital blood banks typically specify a 48 bag model, such as the Helmer PF48-Pro, the Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 or the 48 bag Platelet Agitator Cum Incubator. High volume blood centres should shortlist 96 bag capacity models, including the Helmer PF96-Pro or the LMB Agitator 96A. Facilities without an existing compliant incubator should evaluate a combined platelet agitator cum incubator rather than a standalone agitator.

What Is the Difference Between a Platelet Agitator and a Platelet Incubator & Agitator?

A standalone platelet agitator only provides the mechanical motion, typically 70 to 80 strokes per minute, that keeps platelets in even suspension; it must be placed inside a separate, temperature controlled platelet incubator such as the PI-10 PLUS. A platelet incubator and agitator, or agitator cum incubator, combines both functions in one cabinet, controlling storage temperature at 22°C alongside the agitation cycle, with CFC free refrigeration and PUF foam insulation. Buy a standalone agitator only if you already own a compliant incubator; buy a combined unit if you are setting up new platelet storage capacity or replacing both components at once.

How Many Platelet Bags Can a Platelet Agitator Store?

Capacity across the models covered here ranges from 15 bags up to 96 bags, with common tiers at 15, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 96 bags. The Bacteria Resistant Powder Coated Platelet Agitator is available in 15, 48 or 96 bag configurations, the Platelet Agitator LPTA-A20 and the Platelet Agitator Cum Incubator both hold 48 bags, and the Laboratory Platelet Agitator is offered in 36 or 48 bag capacity. Confirm your average and peak daily platelet inventory before selecting a capacity tier, and add contingency headroom if your facility expects growth in blood collection volume.

What Is the Recommended Agitation Speed for Platelet Storage?

Most fixed speed platelet agitators in this range run at 70 to 80 strokes per minute, the rate designed to maintain even platelet suspension throughout the plasma without causing blood cell damage. Some models offer a wider adjustable range, such as 40 to 80 cycles per minute on the Bacteria Resistant Powder Coated Platelet Agitator, 50 to 70 rpm on the LPTA-A20, or 1 to 10 rpm on the Platelet Incubator with Reciprocator for slower, gentler applications. Confirm the exact speed range required by your local blood transfusion authority before ordering, since agitation speed is a common compliance checkpoint during equipment validation.

How Much Does a Platelet Mixer Cost in Saudi Arabia?

As a general guide, entry level 15 to 24 bag bench top agitators run from around SAR 8,000 to 14,000, 48 bag agitators and combined agitator cum incubator units fall between SAR 18,000 and 65,000 depending on whether incubation is integrated, and 96 bag high volume systems or fully compliant incubator and agitator packages with seven day chart recording run from roughly SAR 30,000 up to SAR 100,000. These figures are indicative reference ranges, not fixed quotes; actual price depends on brand, import duty, installation and after sales package, so request a formal quotation from Gulf Circle For Laboratory And Medical Supplies, SOMATCO, Al Infrad Trading Co. or Diamond Spectrum for current pricing against your specific capacity and compliance requirements.

Which Platelet Mixer Suppliers in KSA Provide Installation, Technical Support and After-Sales Service?

Gulf Circle For Laboratory And Medical Supplies, SOMATCO and Diamond Spectrum all maintain a physical presence within Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh and Jeddah respectively, which supports local installation and after sales service without cross border shipping delays for spare parts. SOMATCO operates a separate customer support number in addition to its head office line, useful for buyers who need a dedicated service contact after installation. Diamond Spectrum's Riyadh and Khobar branches, alongside its Jeddah head office, offer wider geographic coverage for buyers outside the capital. Laboid International, as an overseas manufacturer without a KSA office, should be asked directly about their local service partner arrangement, spare parts stock and warranty claim process before an order is placed.
