Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200

Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200

The Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 is a fully optimized lab vortex mixer. The continuously variable speed setting makes the Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 a great tool for a variety of applications, from gentle mixing to resuspending pellets. The Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 has a circular orbit, rather than the elliptical orbit found on many other vortex mixers on the market today. This allows a vortexing motion to be achieved even at low speeds, a task that cannot be accomplished with elliptical orbit units.

Many vortex mixers prevent excessive vibration with added weight or suction feet which hold the unit in position. However, the Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 utilizes an optimized counterbalance system to minimize vibration during operation and prevent the unit from walking across the bench, even at high speeds. The Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 is lightweight and has no suction feet, allowing it to be easily moved from one place to another. The VX-200 vortex mixer from Labnet can be operated in either touch or continuous mode. When in touch mode, the vortexing motion is activated by depressing the sample head and stopped by removing the pressure.

If the unit is set in the on position, the Labnet Vortex Mixer VX-200 will operate continuously until turned off. The small footprint and portability of the Vortex Mixer VX-200 allow it to be used as necessary almost anywhere in the lab. The unit is safe for use in temperature-controlled environments like cold rooms and incubators. The CombiCup head supplied with the VX-200 vortex mixer can be used with a single tube or a whole handful. The unique over-molding technology used in the manufacture of the CombiCup provides a sturdy plastic core surrounded with nonslip TPE. The optional heads accept microplates, microtubes, PCR strip tubes,15 mL and 50 mL tubes and blood tubes. All heads are friction fit - simply pull up to remove and press down to replace.
