Product Description
Brand BioRad
Model BR-2000
Capacity 0i3,000 rpm
CAT No 1660610
Application Cytomixer
The BR-2000 vortexer is a heavy-duty, all-purpose mixer designed for a variety of mixing applications from gentle sample mixing to resuspending cell pellets. Includes a general-use cup attachment that is ideal for small test tubes and microtubes; a flathead dimpled adaptor is available separately for mixing larger volumes or bottles and flasks.
Robust Mixing PerformanceThe BR-2000 Vortexer delivers reliable sample preparation at a fixed speed of 3200 rpm, ensuring uniform mixing. Its 4 mm orbit diameter makes it suitable for thorough agitation of liquids in test tubes or small flasks, enhancing sample consistency in any laboratory protocol.
Designed for Laboratory VersatilityBuilt for research, biotechnology, and diagnostic laboratories, this model features a durable ABS body with a metal housing, supporting daily intensive use. The mechanical switch allows selection between touch or continuous operation, making it adaptable to various workflow requirements.
Safety and Operational ComfortOperators benefit from non-slip feet that stabilize the unit during operation, along with integrated overload protection. With a low noise level below 55 dB, the BR-2000 Vortexer provides a quiet working environment for sensitive lab settings.
FAQ's of BioRad BR-2000 Vortexer:
Q: How is the BioRad BR-2000 Vortexer used in laboratory settings?
A: This vortexer is typically used to mix or agitate small volumes of liquid in test tubes or small flasks, aiding in sample homogenization, reagent mixing, and suspensions preparation in biotechnology, research, or diagnostic labs.
Q: What are the operating options for the BR-2000 Vortexer?
A: Users can operate the vortexer either by pressing the tube on the platform for touch operation or by setting it to continuous mode, both controlled by a straightforward mechanical switch.
