Working Mechanism
- Set the mode switch to the desired setting of ON (continuous mode) or Touch.
- Adjust the speed knob to obtain more or less vortex mixing action.
Features
- They feature advanced Q-Drive technology, to provide smooth instant vortexing of even the largest sample sizes, including full 50 ml tubes.
- This unique counter-balance system creates maximum vortexing action, while reducing noise and excessive vibration.
- They also include features like 'no-walk' suction feet to prevent movement during operation, spill-proof electronic controls for user safety and cold room / incubator compatibility.
- They provide a variable speed control from 200 to 3200 rpm for the precision mixing of different materials.
- The brand's BV1003 vortex mixer features a unique reversible rubber head that attaches to the mixer in two orientations.
- For vortexing of single tubes, the cupped surface is preferred while for applications requiring a flat / dimpled surface for mixing uniquely shaped vessels (or multiple test tubes), the head can be easily flipped over and reattached in reverse orientation.
Compatible Accessories
- Benchmark's Mixer Head: This optional combination head is used with these vortex mixers for accommodating one microplate and microtubes (38 x 1.5 & 28 x 0.5 ml)
