The Lab Dancer VWR Vortex Mixer, like other vortex mixers, is a laboratory instrument designed to facilitate the mixing of liquids in small containers. Here are some specific functions and applications of a Lab Dancer Vortex Mixer:
-
Vortex Mixing: The primary function of a Lab Dancer Vortex Mixer is to create a vortex or circular motion in liquid samples. This agitation helps to mix the contents of small vials, test tubes, or other containers quickly and efficiently.
-
Sample Preparation: It is commonly used in laboratories for preparing samples in various applications, including molecular biology, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry. For example, it can be used to mix reagents, dissolve solids in liquids, or ensure homogeneity in a sample.
-
Cell Culture and Microbiology: In cell culture and microbiology work, a vortex mixer can be used to resuspend cells, mix culture media, or distribute substances evenly in liquid cultures.
-
Enzyme Reactions: Vortex mixers are useful for initiating or enhancing enzyme reactions by ensuring that the enzyme and substrate are thoroughly mixed.
-
Homogenization: The vortexing action helps in the homogenization of samples, ensuring that the components are evenly distributed.
Outside Dimensions : 3 x 3 x 5
