Grant-bio Vortex Mixer
- Pressure sensitive cup accommodates tubes up to 20 mm diameter
- Reliable and extremely quiet motor produces regulated and reproducible agitation throughout the speed range
- Extremely easy to operate - select either "continuous" or "touch" operation and turn the knob to adjust the speed from 750 rpm to 3000 rpm
- Exceptionally compact with a low profile and small footprint - fits into almost any location
- Rubber suction pads hold tight to the work surface and prevent the unit from "walking" - they also absorb vibration and prevent its transmission to the workbench
Ideally sized for personal use, the Grant-bio PV-1 vortex mixer is compact, with a low profile and small footprint, to sit in almost any location. The PV-1 is so small that it will fit in your hand - yet there is no compromise on performance. The reliable motor produces regulated and reproducible agitation throughout the speed range. It is also extremely quiet.
With variable speed from 750 to 3000 rpm, the PV-1 can be used for gentle through to vigorous mixing and pellet resuspension in 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, and 15 mL tubes.

- Shake and incubate samples simultaneously
- Complete with shaking racks for 15ml and 50ml conical tubes
- Intelligent, digital control
- Broad temperature and speed range
Designed for simultaneous heating and mixing of small samples, the VorTemp 1550 is supplied with interchangeable platforms for standard 15ml and 50ml conical tubes. Maximum capacity is 8 x 50mL or 18 x 15mL. Temperature in the VorTemp 1550 is adjustable over a broad range, making the unit useful for a variety of applications, including bacterial cultures and digestions. Mechanical convection provides a uniform and stable environment within the chamber. The VorTemp 1550 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 1550 gives it stability during high speed shaking. The chamber is insulated to maintain temperature and reduce operating noise.
