vortexer
A vortexer, also known as a vortex mixer, is a laboratory device used to agitate small vials of liquid. It works by using a motor to drive an eccentric mechanism, which causes the sample holder to move in a rapid, circular motion. This motion creates a vortex within the liquid, effectively mixing its contents.
Vortexers are commonly used in biological and chemical laboratories for tasks such as resuspending dried powders,
There are various types of vortexers available. Some are designed for continuous operation, while others have
The primary function of a vortexer is to ensure uniform distribution of components within a liquid sample.
