• 3-Year Warranty

These precision pipettes are designed for exceptional comfort and accuracy. Lightweight and well-balanced, they fit comfortably in either the right or left hand with the large digital display visible to the user. Chemically resistant, maintenance-free seals and finely polished pistons provide unsurpassed accuracy sample after sample.

The continuously adjustable, digital micrometer is slightly recessed to prevent unintentional change and is protected from the effects of thermal expansion by the insulated body of the pipette. For convenience, Vol can also be adjusted by turning the push button. Ergonomically positioned, the tip ejector reduces fatigue during prolonged use.
The AlphaPette™ Plus Pipettes have a universal shaft that will accept most pipette tips. The tip ejector is adjustable to accommodate various styles of tips and is removable for pipetting into narrow tubes. Made from stainless steel, it will not rust, corrode, or break. The AlphaPette™ Plus Pipettes are fully autoclavable.

The AlphaPette™ Plus 8 Channel Pipettors work great with the PR1MA Low Retention Pipette Tips & PR1MA Low Retention Barrier Tips.

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

The PR1MA™ Orbi-Shaker™ Small is designed for smaller capacity applications and laboratories where bench space is at a premium. The shaker includes a 9.5 x 8" platform that mixes at a 19 mm orbit, perfect for thorough mixing and aeration in Erlenmeyer flasks.

An optional MAGic Clamp™ platform is available for use with Erlenmeyer flasks and test tube racks. The unique magnetic attachment method is the easiest way to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes. (PATENTED)
