High-Capacity Vortex Mixers

Chapter 1 Introduction
The Multi-Tube Vortexer is designed for mechanical and chemical cell lysis,
mixing suspensions, and general sample agitation. This vortex mixer gives
a distinctly different motion than shaking a sample. With vortexing, greater
shearing forces are placed on materials in the bottom of a tube, thus
promoting either disruption or solubility.
The Multi-Tube Vortexer QuEChERS vortex mixer is an instrument designed
to provide vigorous mixing. With a wide variety of tube holders, this
instrument is useful for higher throughput mixing of samples.
