ELMI Intelli Mixer RM-2, Large, Includes Mix Rack, 1-99 RPM
The ELMI IMIX-01 Model RM-2L Intelli-Mixer with mixing rack is a benchtop, electronic, all-in-one digital vortex mixer, rotator, and blotter that has 34 modes of operation, a speed range of 1 to 99 rpm, and a mixing rack that holds two 30mm, four 16mm, twelve 13mm, and sixteen 11mm tube sizes. The Intelli-Mixer features 15 mixing modes, 12 rocking modes, four blotting modes, and three custom mixing settings for achieving the desired mix. The blotting modes are designed for western blot protocol and the rocking modes alternate between rotations and shakes per minute for precise control of the mix. The custom mixing modes are programmed by rotating the mixing rack in the direction and to the angle required. The mixer has an anti-slip rocking platform for stability. It is powered by a stepper motor and includes a 1.5amp, 12V DC adapter. It operates in temperatures from 10 to 45 degrees C and a relative humidity of 80% at 20 degrees C. Designed to be cold room safe, this mixer is used for food, dairy, pharmaceutical, biological, and biomedical research applications.
Laboratory shakers agitate liquids during laboratory procedures. These devices can be analog or digital and are typically an automated, electrically powered, countertop unit that shakes liquid in lab containers, such as flasks, funnels, or test tubes. Some shakers can operate inside fume hoods, incubators, refrigerators, or other laboratory devices, and can include controls for the frequency and/or degree of movement. The types of shakers include: orbital, rocking, rolling, rotating, and wrist action. The most common orbital shaker provides a smooth, continuous, circular motion, sometimes with a tilt angle, for uniform mixing of contents. The rocking shaker creates gentle uniform mixing with a see-saw, or up and down, motion. Reciprocating, or rolling, shakers provide a horizontal side-to-side motion with simple agitation of samples. A rotating, or rotisserie, shaker provides samples with a rotating action that moves in a circular motion. Wrist-action shakers duplicate the effect of hand mixing with "arms" on each side of the unit. Some shakers have the ability to incubate or refrigerate samples while providing shaking action.
ELMI manufactures laboratory equipment such as centrifuges, rotators, and thermostatic shakers. The company, founded in 1989, is headquartered in Riga, Latvia.
