1、 Technical principle: Eccentric rotation drives eddy current mixing
The core technology of the multi tube vortex mixer is based on eccentric rotation, which drives the eccentric shaft to rotate through a high-speed motor, causing high-frequency circular oscillation of the test tube or container placed on the mixing platform. This motion mode forms a spiral vortex in the liquid, utilizing centrifugal force and inertia to break the liquid stratification and achieve uniform mixing in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Its technological advantages include:
Efficient mixing: Eddy current can quickly mix high viscosity or easily stratified samples, reducing mixing time to seconds to tens of seconds.
No pollution risk: No intermediate medium or magnetic field is required, avoiding external interference on the sample and ensuring the accuracy of experimental results.
Strong compatibility: Suitable for various specifications of containers, including 1.5mL centrifuge tubes, 50mL conical bottom tubes, 96 well microplates, etc., to meet the needs of high-throughput experiments.
2、 Application scenario: Efficient cross domain hybrid solution

3、 Operation process and precautions
operating steps
Preparation stage: Check the appearance and power cord of the instrument, and place it on a stable and ventilated table; Take the sample into the container and fix it on the mixing platform.
Parameter setting: Adjust the speed and timing according to the characteristics of the sample.
Startup and monitoring: Start the instrument, confirm the mixing status through the observation window, and pause parameter adjustment if necessary.
End processing: After mixing is complete, press the stop button and carefully remove the container to avoid splashing the liquid.
Precautions
Sample sealing: Ensure that the tube cover is tightly closed to prevent cross contamination or liquid leakage.
Speed selection: High viscosity samples require high speed, while fragile samples require low speed.
Maintenance: Regularly clean the mixing platform to avoid corrosion of reagents; Check the wear of the motor and eccentric wheel, and replace the components in a timely manner.
