Ampule/Tube Attachment for Vortex-Genie 2 Mixers Scientific Industries

Description

Product Overview

The SI-0570 Ampule/Tube Attachment is a precision‑engineered accessory specifically crafted for the Vortex‑Genie 2 series of laboratory mixers. Manufactured by Scientific Industries, a trusted name in lab equipment, this attachment offers a secure cradle for small ampules and tubes, ensuring they remain firmly in place throughout vigorous mixing cycles. Constructed from high‑grade, chemically resistant polymer, the attachment tolerates a wide range of solvents and reagents without degradation. Its compact dimensions—approximately 4.5″ length, 7.0″ width, and 2.5″ height—allow it to fit seamlessly onto the shaker platform without obstructing other accessories. Weighing only 0.21 lb, it adds minimal load while delivering maximum stability. The design incorporates a snap‑fit locking mechanism that eliminates the need for additional fasteners, reducing setup time and potential contamination points. Detailed specifications include a package size of 6.65 × 4.33 × 2.24 inches and a model number SI‑0570, reflecting its compatibility with the Vortex‑Genie 2 line.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of laboratory environments, the SI‑0570 attachment excels in applications ranging from pharmaceutical formulation to chemical synthesis and quality‑control testing. Researchers can place ampules or micro‑tubes directly into the attachment’s molded cavities, then secure the unit onto the Vortex‑Genie 2 mixer. The attachment’s ergonomic shape ensures even distribution of centrifugal forces, preventing sample loss or breakage during high‑speed vortexing. It is particularly valuable in scenarios where precise mixing of viscous liquids or delicate suspensions is required, such as in enzyme assays, nanoparticle dispersion, or buffer preparation. The attachment’s lightweight nature makes it suitable for continuous operation in high‑throughput settings, while its chemical‑resistant material safeguards against corrosion when exposed to aggressive reagents. Users benefit from a straightforward setup: simply snap the attachment onto the shaker platform, insert the ampules, and start the mixing program. The device is also easy to clean—rinse with appropriate solvents and air‑dry before storage.
