Installation
Place the mixer on a horizontal, level and stable surface. Connect the plug end of the cord to a grounded wall socket. Avoid
lines on which powerful electric motors, refrigerators and similar devices are connected. Use the on/off switch to control
power to the mixer.
Use caution when plugging into a grounded wall socket!
Do not touch plug with wet hands!
Do not unplug by pulling on the cord!
Intended use
The VWR Mini Blot Mixer combines the actions of a rocker and a shaker to produce a three dimensional
motion that is gentle enough for fragile gels and blots, yet provides thorough mixing. Designed for processing
blots and staining applications, the pitch and speed of the mixer are optimally set to allow for use of a minimal
amount of solution while preventing the membrane or gel from drying out.The flat rubber mat is ideal for
holding blotting boxes or trays.
For research use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.
Symbols and conventions
The following chart is an illustrated glossary of the symbols that may be used in this
manual or on the product.

Operation
Blotting boxes or trays may be placed directly on the rubber mat. When placing boxes, it is important to arrange them
evenly to distribute the weight across the platform.
Always load the platform in a uniform and balanced fashion.
Use the On / Off switch to turn the unit on. The direction of rotation in which the unit starts is random and does not affect
mixing. If desired, the rotational direction can be reversed by holding the unit’s base and very briefly touching the rotating
platform on the bottom at one corner. This technique can also be used to select the quietest direction of rotation.
