MiniMix 3D shaker
Cleaver Scientific’s new variable speed Vortex Mixer combines fast, efficient mixing with minimal
vibration. Unlike other vortex mixers using elliptical orbits, the
CSLVORTEX true circular orbit facilitates uniform sample-vortexing
even at low speed. The CombiCup
™
head, which is supplied as
standard, accepts many different tube sizes, while the
unique overmoulding technology used in its
manufacture provides a sturdy plastic core with
non-slip TPE that fits optional heads for
microplates, microtubes, PCR strip tubes, 15ml
and 50ml tubes and blood vials.
CSLVORTEX may be used in ‘touch’ or
continuous mode: ‘touch’ mode being
activated by simply depressing the sample
head and then stopped by releasing the
pressure. An optimised counter balance
system within the CSLVORTEX minimises
vibration and movement of the unit during operation, whereas its
lightweight construction and small footprint allows it to be readily transported and used in areas where
space is restricted. The CSLVORTEX is also safe for use in temperature controlled environments, and
may be used within a cold room.
The Cleaver Scientific MiniMix combines the motions of orbital shaking and rocking to produce a gentle,
but thorough, 3-D action that is perfect for antibody incubation of western blots and staining gels.
The pitch and speed of the Cleaver Scientific MiniMix are optimised to generate a tilt angle that is large
enough to ensure uniform distribution of solutions, yet small
enough to prevent the centre of the blot from drying out.
This has the added benefit of allowing users to work
with minimal volumes, thus conserving valuable
probes and antibodies.
A non-slip rubber mat keeps the boxes in place on
the agitating platform, which, along with the housing, is
very easy to clean and decontaminate after use. The
MiniMix’s compact and light weight design allows it to
be moved around the lab where needed. It is also safe for
use in an incubator or cold room for temperature controlled reactions.
Blot Boxes
These gel staining/blotting boxes are available in 4 sizes and are the ideal accessory for incubating
blots or staining gels. The two smaller sized boxes are available in packs of ten. The smallest box has
dimensions of 9.1 x 6.6cm and a capacity for 3-5ml of solution.
This is ideal for incubating cut blot strips. The next box in the range holds 6-10ml of solution and is
appropriate for mini gels and blots up to 11.7 x 8.9cm. Two larger boxes, available in single packs, can
be used for staining gels or incubating blots up to 12 x 12cm or 20 x 16.5cm respectively.
