Stuart Biocote SA8 Vortex Mixer – Product Overview
The Stuart SA8 Vortex Mixer is a reliable, high-performance mixer designed for a wide range of laboratory applications. It features a variable speed control between 200 and 2500 rpm, allowing everything from gentle resuspension to vigorous agitation of samples.
Key Features:
Variable speed control: Select mixing speeds from 200 rpm for gentle mixing up to 2500 rpm for intense agitation.
Intermittent or continuous operation: Choose between ‘touch’ mode (mixing starts when the cup is pressed) or continuous mode at the press of a fascia button.
Stable low-profile body: Ergonomically designed for user comfort and ease of use on busy lab benches.
Robust die-cast construction: Prevents unwanted movement and ensures long-term mechanical stability, even at high speeds.
Integral retort rod fixing: Allows vessels to be secured above the vortex point for prolonged or unattended mixing.
Accessory compatibility: When used with the optional SA8/1 accessory pack, the SA8 can accommodate various other vessels including test tubes, flasks, and microtitre plates.
