Rubber Cover 580-2013-00 for 3″ Platform – Scientific Industries

Description

Product Overview

The 580-2013-00 rubber cover is engineered specifically for the 3″ platform that accompanies Scientific Industries Vortex‑Genie series mixers, including the Vortex‑Genie 1, Vortex‑Genie Pulse, and Vortex‑Genie 2. Constructed from high‑grade thermoplastic rubber, the cover offers exceptional resistance to a broad spectrum of laboratory chemicals, solvents, and cleaning agents. Its formulation balances hardness for durability with enough flexibility to allow effortless installation and removal without damaging the underlying platform. The cover measures 3.27 x 3.27 x 0.43 inches and weighs only 0.64 ounces, making it lightweight yet robust enough to withstand the vigorous motions of orbital shaking. Designed in the United States, the product adheres to strict quality standards set by Scientific Industries, ensuring a precise fit that eliminates wobble, reduces vibration, and protects the platform from wear and tear.

Usage

Laboratory technicians and researchers rely on the Vortex‑Genie mixers for a variety of applications, from cell culture agitation to sample homogenization. The rubber cover serves as a protective barrier that maintains a secure seal between the platform and the mixing vessel, preventing leaks and cross‑contamination during high‑speed shaking. It is ideal for use in microbiology labs, biochemistry suites, pharmaceutical development, and any environment where precise, repeatable shaking is required. The cover can be quickly swapped out when the original sleeve shows signs of wear, allowing uninterrupted workflow and extending the service life of the platform. Its chemical‑resistant properties make it suitable for handling aggressive reagents such as acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring that the platform remains intact even under demanding conditions.
