Multi-Tube Vortex Mixers
Multi-Tube Vortexers are ideal for high throughput sample processing with interchangeable foam racks for vortexing tubes from 10 to 29 mm in diameter. Vortexing action is created by securing the top of the sample in place while allowing the bottom to rotate freely in a 3.6 mm orbit. Suction cup feet reduce motion and prevent sliding on work surface. Available in analog and digital models, both microprocessor-controlled and capable of running in continuous or timed mode.
Key Features
- Process up to 50 samples at a time
- Continuous or timed operation
- Includes foam rack for 12 mm tubes
- One piece, stainless steel housing design optimizes clean-ups
- Microprocessor control provides consistent uniform mixing action
- Conveniently angled front panel features rocker switch for run, time and standby modes
- Suction cup feet reduce motion and prevent sliding
Applications
- Suspensions
- High throughput testing in clinical labs
- Environmental labs
- Chemistry labs
