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.
