Porvair Sciences has introduced the Co-Mix - a compact and simple-to-use multi-format mixer for microplate & deep-well plate mixing.
Operated by touchscreen, the Co-Mix offers simple changing between mixing of 96- and 384-well microplates in skirted, semi-skirted and unskirted variants plus deep-well plates and PCR tubes/ strips.
Its plate holding mechanism ensures smooth manipulation of microplates eliminating sample spillage and cross-contamination problems. A vortex module enables mixing of numerous tube formats including micro test tubes.
Designed to improve laboratory mixing productivity - the Co-Mix comes pre-programmed with commonly used mixing profiles.
Applications that could benefit from the Co-Mix include: mixing of PCR and enzyme preparations, re-suspension of bacteria, DNA and cell cultures, mixing of ELISA immunoassays and mixing of samples during incubation stages.
