Description
Vortex 2 test tube shaker is a laboratory mixing device for rapid agitation of samples in tubes and small vessels. Operating with a circular, vibrating motion, it delivers efficient vortex mixing for resuspension, reagent blending and routine sample preparation in research and analytical workflows. The unit is supplied including the standard attachment VG 3.1, ready for immediate use with common tube formats. At 5,030 kg it offers a stable benchtop footprint suited to continuous laboratory operation. This shaker from manufacturer IKA supports virus research, general molecular biology and everyday lab protocols that rely on quick, reproducible mixing. Supplied as one piece, it integrates easily into equipment sets for sample handling and preparation. The Vortex 2 is appropriate wherever controlled circular vibration is needed to homogenise liquids without complex programming, helping laboratories maintain consistent mixing steps across daily experimental and quality-control tasks.

Questions about Vortex 2 test tube shaker, circulatr, vibrating, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Vortex 2 test tube shaker, circulatr, vibrating, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
