SI-600 Multi-tube Vortexer Chapter 1 Introduction
─ 1 ─
Chapter 1 Introduction
The Multitube 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 vortex mixer is a tool to provide that extra degree of mixing,
however it accommodates full racks of tubes or microwell plates as
opposed to singe tubes. Consequently, this unit is useful for higher
throughput mixing of samples.
Features
• LCD display, it is easy to setup and use.
• Procedure restored function; when it power-down suddenly and then
re-power-on, the device can return to the set procedure automatically.
• Timing function. It can be set mixing time within 00:00~99:59h,
display window shows the remnant time to do timing.
• Brushless motor with precise speed, long-lifetime, and without
maintenance

Chapter 4 Operation Guide
1. Shaking speed and timing setting
a) When the instrument powers on, display screen
will show “ ” one by one with the sound of
“du…”. The instrument goes into the initial state
after it flicks three times.
b) After about 2s later, time display window shows
9: 30 as the
set timing time. It means that the timing time is 9
hours and 30 minutes. The speed display
window shows 2000. It means the set shaking
speed is 2000rpm.
c) Press speed’s “

” or “

” key, tens digits of set
value will increase or decrease, and also increase
or decrease in hundred digits and thousand digits.
For instance, press the key and hold on for 2s, the
digits will be moved from tens to hundreds,
increasing the alteration range.
d) Press time’s “

”or “

” key, units will increase or
decrease, and also increase or decrease in tens,
hundreds and thousands. For instance, press the
key and hold on for 2s, the digits will be moved
from units to tens, increasing the alteration range.
If you press the key for 2s again, the digits will be
moved from tens to hundreds quickly.

e) If you want to set speed 2400rpm and timing
2hours, press Speed’s “

” key, and the set value
will be increase to 2400rpm. Keep off the key, the
device will save the value automatically. Then
press time’s “

” key, the set value will be
decreased to 02:00; keep off the key, the device
will save value automatically. In this way, the
speed and time are set. Press the key “start”, the
device will run in 2400rpm and 2hours timing.
2. Key combination
a) Time unit switch mode: Press time’s “

” key and
“” key simultaneously to switch time unit from
h/m to m/s, flicks three times, then save
automatically. The way to switch from m/s to h/m
is the same to above.
b) Key lock function: Press speed’s “

” key and
time’s “

” key simultaneously to activate the key
lock funtion. The key lock prevent from setting time
and speed during a mixing operation. When open the
key lock, you can set the parameters again. After
setting, the parameters in display flicks three times
and saves the changes automatically.
Notice: During running the device, neighter Shortcut Keys nor Key combination can be
opened.
