What types of samples can the Vortexer mix?
The Vortexer is designed to mix and disperse samples in microcentrifuge tubes, including centrifugal pellets, precipitates, and solids. It is ideal for laboratory applications where rapid sample processing is required.
How does the Vortexer work?
The Vortexer uses a combination of mechanical and vortex action to quickly disperse samples. It employs a new polypropylene stir rod for each sample, ensuring efficiency and preventing cross-contamination.
Is the Vortexer battery-powered or does it require a power outlet?
The Vortexer is powered by batteries, making it fully portable and convenient for use anywhere in the lab.
Can I use the Vortexer with different sizes of microcentrifuge tubes?
Yes, the Vortexer is compatible with standard microcentrifuge tubes commonly used in laboratory settings.
How does the Vortexer compare to traditional vortex mixers?
Unlike traditional vortex mixers, the Vortexer allows for direct sample mixing with a disposable polypropylene stir rod. This reduces tedious manual work, minimizes sample loss, and improves safety.
Is the Vortexer reusable or does it require disposable parts?
The Vortexer itself is reusable, but it uses a fresh polypropylene stir rod for each sample to maintain efficiency and prevent contamination.
