We offer a complete line of hand held and bench rotor-stator homogenizers. These motor driven homogenizers are significantly different in design from pestle-type homogenizers and mechanical bead beaters or mixer mill homogenizers. Rotor-stators are essentially a rotating shaft (rotor) inside a stationary tube (stator). The tip of the shaft is machined to have slots or windows while the rotor is designed to serve as a blade. The rotor is rotated at speeds ranging from 5000 to 35,000 rpm.  Smaller hand held units can be used to process small samples in microfuge tubes while bench top models can emulsify up to 40 liters.

The Multitube Vortexer is designed for mechanical and chemical cell lysis, mixing suspensions, and general sample agitation. This vortex mixer gives a distinctly different motion than shaking a sample. With vortexing, greater shearing forces are placed on materials in the bottom of a tube, thus promoting either disruption or solubility. The multi-tube vortex mixer is a tool to provide that extra degree of mixing, however it accommodates full racks of tubes or microwell plates as opposed to singe tubes. Consequently, this unit is useful for higher throughput mixing of samples.

The multitube vortexer can be used for resuspending bacterial pellets, mixing reagents for alkaline lysis plasmid preps, mixing of components for bead-based assays, mixing of aqueous and organic solutions for extractions, mixing of solid phase supports and reactants, and any other process which requires a vortexing step. This mixer is sturdy yet quiet in operation.
The multi-tube vortexer is available as analog and digital modules in both 120 and 230V configurations.

Powerful pulsing vortex action produces excellent cell disruption for glass bead procedures. The Pulsing Vortex Mixer is capable of complete cell disruption of samples in only minutes. Unique pulsing action reduces heat generation while providing more effective mixing and disruption. System includes an easy-to-load holder for (12)1.5ml or 2.0ml micro centrifuge tubes. Micro-tube holder has a built-in cup head which allows mixer to be used as a standard vortex mixer in touch mode. Micro-processor feedback control maintains set speed for strong, consistent mixing action. LED displays for both speed (rpm) and time (minutes/seconds) which provides better repeatability and accuracy. Displayed time counts up during continuous operation and counts down during timed runs.

• Glass bead cell disruption/homogenization.

• Continuous or touch mode operation.
• LED display for speed and time.

1. Microplate Stability Chamber

Designed for six microplates so to reduce the edge effect caused by low humidity and uneven heating. The Microplate Stability Chamber is placed inside standard or CO₂ incubators. The chamber minimizes temperature variation and increases humidity, both of which are needed to reduce the edge effect.

2. Aluminum Microplate Plate Tray

Constructed of 3/4" (1.9 cm) aluminum and protected with a black anodized coating, this tray has been milled to accommodate six standard depth microwell plates.  A raised bed provides direct contact with the bottom of microwell plates so to evenly distribute heat to all wells of a plate. This tray, independent of the stability chamber, helps to reduce variation in microplate assays caused by uneven heat distribution within incubators.

These Concentrator Tubes have a vacuum jacket around the tip of the tube containing the last 1-2ml of sample. This vacuum jacket slows heat transfer to the last part of the sample, and thus reduces the risk of boiling dry. This is particularly useful when multiple Concentrations with differing evaporation rates are to be run simultaneously. These concentrator tubes are designed to be used with Flasks, and Snyder Columns
