Description

The Vortex Mixer YR06645-YR06646 is an essential tool in any modern laboratory requiring fast and efficient homogenization of liquid samples. This equipment is designed to create a fluid vortex that guarantees uniform mixing in test tubes, vials, and other small containers.

Thanks to its compact design and powerful motor, it is the ideal ally for molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and clinical diagnostic laboratories. Whether resuspending cells, mixing reagents, or dissolving powders, this mixer offers the versatility needed to handle both point-of-use operations (touch mode) and long-term continuous processes.

Design and Technology

This mixer stands out for its robustness and stability, integrating technical features that prioritize user safety and equipment durability:

• Circular Action Mechanism: Uses a 4mm diameter orbital motion that generates vigorous and efficient agitation.
• Dual Operation Modes: Allows working in “Touching” mode (the equipment is activated only by pressing the head) or “Continuing” mode (constant operation for prolonged processes).
• High-Resistance Materials: The body is made of enhanced engineering plastic molding technology, resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and designed for collision resistance.
• Stabilizing Base: Includes soft silicone pads that prevent the instrument from moving on the workbench even at its maximum speed of 2800 RPM.
• Interchangeable Head System: Features an eccentric ball shaft design that facilitates quick installation of vibrating heads to adapt to different tube sizes and microplates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between the YR06645 and YR06646 models? The main difference is the speed control. YR06645 operates at a fixed speed of 2800 RPM, while YR06646 allows speed adjustment from 1 to 2800 RPM depending on the sample sensitivity.

Does the equipment generate a lot of noise during operation? No, the shaft design and shock-proof materials are optimized to maintain a low noise level, ideal for office environments or shared laboratories.

Can I use it with different tube sizes? Yes, the equipment includes a standard head for tubes less than 30mm, but a wide range of optional adapters is available for 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, and 20mm tubes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• High Speed: Reaches up to 2800 RPM for instant mixing.
• Durability: Corrosion-resistant casing with no paint spraying to peel off.
• Stability: Does not “walk” across the table thanks to its silicone suction feet.
• Versatility: Wide choice of platforms for different experimental requirements.

Cons

• IP21 Protection: Not designed for environments with extreme humidity or direct water splashes.
• Fixed Voltage: Local voltage (110V or 220V) must be confirmed before purchase as they are factory-configured.

Field Use and Recommendations

This equipment is ideal for:

• Clinical Laboratories: Mixing blood samples and reagents.
• Research Centers: Preparation of DNA/Protein solutions.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Quality control and component analysis.

Operating Recommendations: To prolong motor life, ensure the head is correctly installed before turning the unit on. If using continuous mode for very long periods, ensure the load is balanced when using multi-tube adapters.
