The centrifuge-vortex mixers are especially suitable for 'spin-mix-spin' applications, as used in a number of scientific fields such as biochemistry, diagnostics and immunology
The newly introduced Grant-bio PCV combined centrifuge-vortex mixers from Grant Instruments are available for applications requiring spinning and mixing of microtubes and 0.2ml strips.
The two ultra-compact models offer maximum flexibility, each complete with two interchangeable rotors for accommodating 1.5, 0.5 and 0.2ml microtubes.
The competitively priced PCV-2400 Combi-spin can be used for vortex mixing of an individual tube concurrently with spinning of multiple tubes and is particularly suitable for low sample volumes.
Grant's high performance PCV-3000 Multi-spin enables consecutive spin and mix phases of multiple tubes.
The innovative PCV-3000 is amazingly quiet in operation, with a two line display and touch sensitive keys for easy set-up and use.
Tubes can be loaded into the rotor and spun at adjustable speeds over a range from 1000 to 3500rpm, and remain in position for vortex mixing.
The programmable unit allows accurate setting of spin speed and mixing level and a time setting for each.
The 'spin and mix' operations can be linked, and a sequence of linked cycles may be repeated up to 999 times.
Both models are robustly built, with attractive styling and a low profile and small footprint.
A safety interlock stops the rotor when the lid is opened.
They not only look great on the bench but they can be used in a cold room or incubator with an operating ambient temperature range of 4C to 45C.
The centrifuge-vortex mixers are especially suitable for 'spin-mix-spin' applications, as used in a number of scientific fields such as biochemistry, diagnostics and immunology.
They are particularly useful for applications such as preparing samples prior to PCR reactions, gel electrophoresis and enzyme reactions.
A selection of rotor options is available which accommodate various combinations of tubes and 0.2ml microtube strips.
The two centrifuge-vortex mixer units form just part of the exciting new line of Grant-bio personal laboratory products. Supported by a two-year guarantee, they can be purchased worldwide through an extensive network of approved laboratory equipment distributors.
