The Grant-bio PV-1 vortex mixer is ideal for personal usage, with a low profile and small footprint that allows it to fit in nearly any space. The PV-1 is so compact that it can fit in your palm of your hand, but it doesn't sacrifice performance. Throughout the speed range, the dependable motor generates regulated and reproducible agitation. It's also extremely quiet.

The PV-1 can be used for gentle to vigorous mixing and pellet resuspension in 0.5ml, 1.5ml, and 15ml tubes, with a variable speed range of 750 to 3000 rpm.

Features

• Adjustable speed control: 750 to 3000 rpm
• ‘Continuous’ or ‘touch’ operation
• For tubes up to 20 mm diameter
• Pressure sensitive cup accommodates tubes up to 20mm diameter
• Reliable and extremely quiet motor produces regulated and reproducible agitation throughout the speed range
• Extremely easy to operate – select either ‘continuous’ or ‘touch’ operation and turn the knob to adjust the speed from 750 rpm to 3000 rpm
• In ‘touch’ mode, agitation starts in response to pressure on the pressure sensitive cup.
• Exceptionally compact with a low profile and small footprint – fits into almost any location
• Rubber suction pads hold tight to the work surface and prevent the unit from ‘walking’ – they also absorb vibration and prevent its transmission to the workbench
