Description:
VWR® Mini Vortex Mixers are designed for laboratories that require reliable and efficient mixing solutions. These compact units come in several models to accommodate specific needs: fixed-speed for simple mixing tasks, analogue for adjustable speed control, digital for precise timing, and pulsing for reduced heat generation. Their ergonomic design ensures user comfort and reduces fatigue during extended use.
The mixers can operate in either continuous or touch mode, allowing flexibility for various laboratory procedures. Additionally, these mixers are versatile enough to be used in environments ranging from 4°C to 40°C, including cold rooms, incubators, and CO₂ incubators. The pulsing model stands out with its unique action that minimizes heat buildup, ensuring consistent mixing and disruption for sensitive samples. Digital and pulsing units also feature a timer with a range from 1 second to 160 hours, offering precise control for time-sensitive experiments.
Each model features an orbital shaking motion with a 4.9 mm orbit, except for the pulsing model, which has a 2.5 mm orbit. These units are equipped with a powerful 150 W motor, ensuring reliable performance in demanding lab environments.
