About Vortex Mixer
Vortex Mixer ETL -118
Adjustable speed, Vortex genie short, rapid, eccentric stroke motor ribin neoprene cup imparts vigorous agitation to tubes. With speed control indicator and on-off switch.
Precision Mixing for Laboratory ApplicationsThe vortex mixer delivers precise and consistent mixing for a variety of lab routines, from gentle resuspension to vigorous agitation. Its compact, rectangular design fits easily onto crowded benches, while the variable speed setting accommodates different specimen needs. This mixer can securely hold tubes up to 30 mm in diameter, making it suitable for most standard laboratory vessels.
User-Friendly Operation and Safety FeaturesFeaturing convenient touch and continuous mixing modes, the mixer allows users to select their preferred operational style. The absence of a display is compensated with an analog indicator, and the rotary knob ensures smooth speed adjustments. Safety is enhanced through overload protection and a nonskid platform that keeps samples securely in place during use.
FAQs of Vortex Mixer:
Q: How do I operate the vortex mixer for different mixing modes?
A: The vortex mixer supports both touch and continuous modes. For touch mode, gently press the tube onto the mixing pad to activate mixing. For continuous mixing, use the control knob to set it in continuous mode and adjust the desired speed as needed.
Q: What types of laboratory vessels can this vortex mixer accommodate?
A: This mixer is suitable for small tubes, vials, and flasks up to 30 mm in diameter. The standard rubber mixing pad securely holds laboratory vessels, making it ideal for various research and clinical applications.
Q: When should I use variable speed settings on the vortex mixer?
A: Variable speed settings (adjustable from 0 to 3000 RPM) should be used to tailor mixing intensity according to your samples requirements. Lower speeds suit gentle mixing, while higher speeds are effective for thorough suspension or dissolution of samples.
Q: Where can this vortex mixer be installed for optimal performance?
A: Install the vortex mixer on a stable laboratory bench with access to a 220-240 V AC power supply. The compact size (180 x 120 x 180 mm) allows it to fit neatly in limited spaces, while the nonskid pad ensures it stays firmly in place.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the vortex mixer?
A: Regularly wipe the ABS plastic body and rubber platform with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Its brushless DC motor is maintenance-free, and the overload protection feature automatically safeguards the motor against excessive use.
Q: What are the benefits of using this vortex mixer in a lab setting?
A: This vortex mixer ensures rapid, consistent mixing with minimal noise (<50 dB) and maintenance requirements. Its compact design, robust safety features, and adjustable speed provide researchers with flexibility, reliability, and ease of operation.
