SI-H506 Horizontal Tube Holder Scientific Industries Holds Six 50mL

Description

Product Overview

The SI-H506 Horizontal Tube Holder is a precision‑engineered accessory from Scientific Industries, crafted to integrate seamlessly with Vortex‑Genie 2 and Vortex‑Genie Pulse mixers. Constructed from high‑impact, chemical‑resistant polymer, the holder provides a durable, lightweight platform that securely cradles six standard 50 mL conical tubes in a horizontal layout. Its snap‑fit design eliminates the need for additional fasteners, allowing rapid installation and removal while maintaining a stable, vibration‑dampened environment for optimal sample processing. The compact footprint—measuring 9 × 9 × 3 inches—and a weight of just 8.8 oz make it an unobtrusive addition to any laboratory shaker, preserving valuable bench space and ensuring easy handling.

Usage

Designed for routine laboratory workflows, the SI-H506 holder excels in applications ranging from cell culture media mixing to reagent homogenization. Its horizontal orientation promotes even vortex action across all six tubes, reducing the risk of uneven mixing or tube breakage. Compatible with both Vortex‑Genie 2 and Pulse models, the holder can be employed in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology protocols where consistent agitation is critical. Users can quickly load pre‑filled 50 mL tubes, engage the shaker, and achieve reproducible results without manual repositioning. The holder’s low profile also allows placement under standard laboratory hoods, facilitating sterile processing and integration into automated workflows.

FAQ

Can the holder be used with mixers other than Vortex‑Genie?

The SI-H506 is specifically engineered to snap onto the Vortex‑Genie 2 and Pulse models. While it may physically fit on other shakers with similar dimensions, optimal performance and secure attachment are guaranteed only with the compatible Vortex‑Genie platforms.

What tube sizes are compatible?

The holder is designed for standard 50 mL conical tubes. Using tubes of different dimensions may result in an insecure fit and uneven vortexing.

Is the holder autoclavable?

Yes, the polymer material tolerates standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 psi) without deformation, allowing routine sterilization between uses.

How many tubes can be loaded at once?

The unit accommodates six 50 mL tubes simultaneously, maximizing throughput while maintaining consistent mixing across all samples.

What warranty does Scientific Industries provide?

Scientific Industries offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, backed by responsive technical assistance to address any performance concerns.
