PV-1 / V-32 vortex mixers are intended for intensive mixing of samples in tubes using an eccentric mechanism.
The Grant bio V-32 is a versatile multi vortex mixer for vigorous re-suspension of cells or chemical pellets in tubes up to 1.5 ml, with the facility to mix individual tubes up to 15 ml.
Adjustable speed control: 500 to 3000 rpm
'Continuous' or 'impulse' operation
Handles up to 32 tubes in three different sizes/combinations
Additional VP-1 flat head for single tube mixing supplied with unit
Compact rugged design plus powerful motor delivering consistent performance and quiet operation - fits neatly and unobtrusively into the workspace
Rubber suction pads hold tight to the work surface and prevent the unit from 'walking' - they also absorb vibration and prevent its transmission to the workbench
Extremely easy to operate - select either 'continuous' or 'touch' operation and turn the knob to adjust the speed from 500 rpm to 3000 rpm
The 32-socket universal platform for three tubes sizes (16 x 1.5ml, 8 x 0.5 ml, 8 x 0.2ml) and a tip for mixing individual tubes up to 15ml provide maximum flexibility for different applications.
Operating temperature range: + 4°C to 40°C
