  • Features easy operation with 'continuous' or 'touch' modes and adjustable speed control from 500 to 3000 rpm.
  • Includes a 32-socket universal platform (PV-32) for three tube sizes and a single tube platform (PL-1) for mixing individual tubes up to 15 ml.
  • Optional platform available for 6 x 10 ml tubes.
  • Equipped with rubber suction pads to prevent movement and absorb vibration.
  • Compact and rugged design with a powerful motor for consistent performance and quiet operation.
  • Applications include DNA operations, de-airing adhesives, mixing particle suspensions, and solubilizing powders.
PV-1 Personal Vortex Mixer:
  • Extremely compact with a low profile, suitable for gentle mixing to vigorous re-suspension in tubes up to 50 ml.
  • Operates in 'continuous' or 'touch' modes with speed adjustment from 750 to 3000 rpm.
  • Features a pressure-sensitive cup for easy operation and a reliable, quiet motor.
  • Rubber suction pads prevent movement and absorb vibration.
  • Applications include gentle mixing and vigorous resuspension of cells and liquid components.
Specifications and Accessories:
  • PV-1: Speed range of 750 to 3000 rpm, 4 mm orbit, accommodates tubes up to 28.5 mm diameter, and weighs 1.1 kg.
  • V-32: Speed range of 500 to 3000 rpm, 2 mm orbit, accommodates multiple tube sizes, and weighs 1.5 kg.
  • Both models operate at an input voltage of 12 V dc and input current of 0.32 A, suitable for ambient temperatures from +4 to 40°C.
  • Accessories include a universal 6-socket platform for 10 ml tubes and a replacement platform for the V-32.
