This very small vortex is a great alternative to expensive and bulky vortexes. It has an extremely small footprint and is light and portable. The unit is definitely not built to be as rugged and durable as heavier models, but we have had no problems with it.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology laboratories for liquid suspension mixing
