Grant PV-1 vortex mixer

Click2Contact

The Grant PV-1 vortex mixer is compact, with a low profile and small footprint to sit in almost any location. Suitable for personal use, it has been designed to fit in the palm of the hand without needing to compromise on performance.

The motor produces regulated and reproducible agitation throughout the speed range. With variable speed from 750 to 3000 rpm, the unit can be used for gentle through to vigorous mixing and pellet resuspension in 0.5, 1.5 and 15 mL tubes.

The product features a pressure-sensitive cup for tubes up to 20 mm diameter. Rubber suction pads hold tight to the work surface to prevent the unit from ‘walking’, and they also absorb vibration which prevents its transmission to the workbench.

The device is suitable for use at 4 to 40°C ambient (80% relative humidity, non-condensing) in a cold room or incubator. It is easy to operate — simply select either ‘continuous’ or ‘touch’ operation and turn the knob to adjust the speed. In ‘touch’ mode, agitation starts in response to pressure on the pressure-sensitive cup.
