Description
Vortex 2 S003 orbital shaker with Swiss plug is a compact laboratory vortex mixer intended for short-term touch operation as well as continuous duty. Equipped with a touch function and motor self-ventilation, the instrument supports extended running periods while generating only modest self-heating. Special silicone-based feet deliver strong vibration damping and maintain a stable stance at high rotational speeds. The continuously variable speed range covers a broad working window for diverse sample types. Three interchangeable attachments and seven inserts enable use with tubes, microtiter plates, 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and comparable vessels; these items are supplied separately. Attachments engage via a click fastening that can be positioned freely, and a special tension belt (VG 3.36) facilitates secure handling of round or Erlenmeyer flasks. The housing is constructed from robust die-cast zinc. This Swiss-plug model from manufacturer IKA is delivered as one piece, with both net and gross weight of 5,020 kg, making it a practical choice for mixing applications in analytical and research laboratories.
This article is part of Sieve shakers, in Test sieves & mills.

Questions about Vortex 2 S003, Orbital shaker with Swiss plug
What is this article?
Vortex 2 S003, Orbital shaker with Swiss plug is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Sieve shakers, inside Test sieves & mills, in Lab instruments.
A sieve shaker repeats a throw so a particle-size test does not depend on who shook the stack. The amplitude, the timer and the frame diameter it accepts are the specification. A shaker for 200 mm frames does not hold a 300 mm stack.
A test sieve sorts particles by whether they pass an opening. Wire mesh and perforated plate are two ways of making that opening, and the nominal size is not a suggestion. A sieve shaker repeats the motion so the result does not depend on how hard someone shook by hand. A mill or grinder makes the particles smaller before they are sieved. The certificate of the sieve, and the opening size, are what an audit asks for. Measurement practice around mass and dimension sits with the BIPM, EURAMET and BELAC.
