Vortexes

Multi-Vortex V-32 is intended for intensive stirring of bacterial and yeast cell, washing from the culture medium and extraction of metabolites and enzymes from cells and cell cultures.

It is different from V-1 by the possibility of mixing up to 32 tubes simultaneously.

Vortex is applicable for:

• Performing various DNA operations — deproteinisation of DNA/ protein complexes;
• Purification of low-molecular DNA/RNA fragments in PCR-diagnostic.

Multi-Vortex has two operation modes:

1. Continuous operation;
2. Impulse operation.

V-32 is supplied with a 32-socket universal platform for Eppendorf type tubes up to 1.5 ml (1.5/0.5/0.2 ml — 16/8/8 sockets) PV-32 and PL-1 platform for mixing single tube up to 50 ml.

An optional 6-socket platform PV-6/10 for 10 ml tubes (max. tube diameter 15 mm) or PV-48 for 48 - 0.2 ml microtubes can be supplied on request.

Multi Speed Vortex MSV-3500 is designed for soft or intensive mixing of reagents in different size and type plastic tubes (0.2 to 50 ml).

It is designed for operation in life science laboratories working in the fields of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology.

Unit has four types of interchangeable platforms: for Eppendorf type microtest tubes, 10/15/50 ml tubes (diameter 12/16/30 mm). Platforms can be ordered separately or as one set with MSV-3500.

Speed and time are under microprocessor control. LCD display indicates two lines of values: the set and actual values of speed and time.

Unit provides high maximum speed of platform rotation efficiently mixing microvolumes (less than 5 μl) of samples.
