PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer

• Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50 mL
• Pressure activated operation
• "Mini-sized", less than 4 inches wide

Powerful is the best word to describe the PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer. With a 4 mm orbit and fixed speed of 2,800 rpm, it instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 mL tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Mini Vortexer has a footprint of less than 4 x 4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded lab bench.

Pressure-activated operation means that the motor is automatically activated with slight pressure on the center cup head. Operation is smooth, quiet, and efficient. When pressure is removed operation immediately ceases. The unique design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life.

Specifications
 

Speed	2,800 rpm
Orbit	4 mm
Motor Activation	Pressure activation
Dimensions (W x D x H)	3.7 x 3.9 x 2.6 in.
Weight	1 lb.
Electrical	Universal voltage, 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, 0.7 A
Warranty	2 years
Operating Temp.	+4 to 45°C

 

PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer

• Reversible top platform, cup, or flat-dimpled surface
• Powerful motor for INSTANT vortexing
• Continuous or touch operation
• Q Drive dynamic balancing system
• Variable speed from 200 to 3200 rpm
• Wide variety of accessories, for tubes up to 50 mL

The PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer utilizes a smooth and powerful mixing technology, with the advantage of a uniquely designed reversible rubber head that can be attached to the mixer in two orientations. For the vortexing of single tubes, the cupped surface would generally be preferred. However, for applications requiring a flat/dimpled surface for mixing uniquely shaped vessels (or a handful of multiple test tubes), the head can easily be flipped over and reattached in reverse orientation.

The drive system is balanced with Q-Drive™ technology, providing a smooth vortexing action, while minimizing noise and excessive vibration. This results in quieter, more efficient, and longer lasting operation. With a maximum speed up to 3,200 rpm, the mixer provides an instant vortex of even the largest sample sizes, including full 50 mL tubes.

Specifications

• Heated lid prevents condensation
• Accepts plates up to 40 mm high
• Independently control time, temperature and speed
• Available in two-plate (IM6002) or four plate format (IM6004)

The new Incu-Mixer MP series is designed to provide an optimal method for vortexing and incubating microplates. Simultaneous heating from both the bottom plate and the heated lid provide temperature uniformity throughout the sample. Additionally, the heated lid minimizes evaporation and prevents condensation. A compact, 2 mm orbit ensures thorough mixing in microplates without splashing. Speed, time and temperature are all displayed in real time on the large LCD screen while an internal validation system constantly monitors all parameters for accuracy.

Designed for application flexibility, the Incu-Mixer series is available in two, and four-plate capacities, both capable of accepting all standard plates up to 40 mm high. Independent time, temperature and speed controls allow the mixer to function as 3 machines in one; a multi-plate incubator, vortexer, or a combination of the two. The Incu-Mixer MP series is ideal for a wide variety of molecular biology applications including immunochemical reactions, enzyme and protein analysis, and micro array analysis.

• Intelligent control
• Broad temperature and speed range

Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 56 features interchangeable platforms for microtubes and microplates. Both platforms are supplied with the unit. Temperature in the VorTemp 56 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures in tubes and microplates. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 56 may also be used in the cold room for subambient applications.

Shaking speed as well as acceleration rates are adjustable. Acceleration can be set to three different levels to protect delicate samples.

A microprocessor controls all parameters including temperature and timed operation. Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors the unit for proper temperature and shaking speed, alerting the user to any errors. Heating and shaking are controlled by feedback loops which precisely maintain chosen parameters, independent of load or voltage fluctuations.

The sturdy construction of the VorTemp 56 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.

• Large capacity - process 60 microtubes or 4 microplates
• Resuspending, homogenizing, mixing or vortexing
• Sturdy, compact construction
• Suitable for cold room or incubator use
The smallest of the Orbit digital shakers, the M60, P2 and P4 feature variable speed across a broad range, making them useful for a variety of applications. Both time of operation and shaker speed are set and displayed digitally, with their values shown on the large 3 digit LED. Parameters are selected with an easy turn knob. A sturdy base encloses the motor for quiet, vibration free operation. All three models can be used in temperature controlled environments. Their compact size makes them ideal for incubator use.

Orbit P2 Orbit M60 Despite its small size, the Orbit M60 can process up to 60 microtubes at one time. The platform is removable to function as a transfer rack or workstation. 1.5/2.0 ml tubes are accommodated directly while smaller tubes can be used with adapters, sold separately.

Orbit P2 and Orbit P4 These vortexers accept all sizes of standard microplates, including deep well plates. Retaining springs on the contoured steel platform hold samples in place. The Orbit P2 holds two microplates while the Orbit P4 holds four.
