Can I use the Vortexer with different sizes of microcentrifuge tubes?

a.

Yes, the Vortexer is compatible with standard microcentrifuge tubes commonly used in laboratory settings.

q.

How does the Vortexer compare to traditional vortex mixers?

a.

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.

q.

Is the Vortexer reusable or does it require disposable parts?

a.

The Vortexer itself is reusable, but it uses a fresh polypropylene stir rod for each sample to maintain efficiency and prevent contamination.
