About Vortex .
VORTEX
Accommodates a wide variety of tubes, vials, plates, or flasks.
Snap-on interchangeable mixing heads extend your options beyond the standard cup or platform.
A speed selector allows gentle shaking up to high-speed vortexing (600-3200 rpm).
The power switch lets you select either hands-free continuous action or Touch On control. Supplied with a cup head and 3 platform.
Rugged, reliable, and long-lasting mixer has a tough metal housing and optimum weight to provide a stable platform for all types of mixing.
The base unit of each mixer measures 6.5" L x 4.8" W x 6.5" H and weighs 8.8 pounds. 120 V, 60 Hz.
Effortless Mixing for Laboratory ApplicationsThe Vortex Mixer streamlines mixing tasks for laboratories by accommodating tubes up to 30 mm in diameter and providing vigorous agitation through its 4 mm mixing orbit. Its ease of use and precise control options make it indispensable for routine sample preparations, ensuring consistent results with minimal effort.
Engineered for Durability and HygieneBoasting a smooth, anti-corrosive ABS body coupled with a silicone cup, the mixer resists chemical reactions and is simple to clean, reducing contaminant risks. The robust structure, noise-reducing features, and anti-slip suction feet provide stability, even during prolonged mixing sessions.
Versatile Operation ModesLaboratory users benefit from dual operation modestouch for quick tasks and continuous for longer procedures. This flexibility, combined with a wide speed range (03000 rpm) and excellent accuracy (5%), offers tailored performance for diverse mixing needs.
FAQs of Vortex:
Q: How does the Vortex Mixer operate and what are its main control modes?
A: The Vortex Mixer works by rapidly agitating tubes through a circular 4 mm orbital motion. It offers two control modes: touch mode, which activates mixing when downward pressure is applied, and continuous mode, which keeps the mixer running until manually switched off.
Q: What benefits does the Vortex Mixer offer for laboratory use?
A: Key advantages include stable, uniform mixing, a quiet operational noise level under 60 dB, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with tubes up to 30 mm in diameter. Its anti-slip feet ensure safety, and the easy-to-clean smooth surface upholds laboratory hygiene.
Q: When is it recommended to use touch mode versus continuous mode on this mixer?
A: Touch mode is ideal for quick or intermittent mixing tasks, allowing hands-free operation between samples. Continuous mode should be selected for prolonged mixing requirements, such as extended sample preparation or when processing multiple tubes consecutively.
Q: Where can the Vortex Mixer be used safely?
A: It is designed for standard laboratory settings in environments where room temperatures do not exceed 40C. Its anti-corrosive materials and stable design make it suitable for most chemical, research, and clinical laboratories.
Q: What types of laboratory containers can be accommodated by the Vortex Mixer?
A: The mixer is suitable for all small tubes and vials with diameters up to 30 mm, making it compatible with a variety of laboratory sample containers typically used for liquid mixing.
Q: How should the Vortex Mixer be maintained for optimal performance?
A: Routine maintenance involves simply wiping down the ABS plastic body and silicone cup with appropriate cleaners to remove spills and residues. Regularly checking the anti-slip feet and ensuring the cup is free from damage will help sustain its performance.
