Company:

Fisher Scientific

Product Name:

Analog Vortex Mixer

Catalog Number:

02-215-414

This is a quality vortex that easily creates a liquid vortex in several sample types. The instrument is also durable, perhaps one of the most important characteristics of a bench-top vortex. It was purchased through Fisher as a more cost-effective alternative to some of the more over-priced vortexes available. It also comes with a reassuring 5 year warranty.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Mixing of different samples prepared in laboratory.

Protocol Overview

The controls for the instrument are pretty standard. There is an option for it to be activated with "touch," which is the most useful setting, and normally the setting it is left to. There is also the option of an indefinite run, which can be helpful for sample requiring longer processing, as it alleviates the need to force the sample down. The analog dial is used to select a speed from 1–10.

Tips

Try both pedestal options to determine which works best for your samples.

Features Summary

All our samples end up adequately mixed.
