Vortex Mixer Accessories SWDTLAB Test Tube Adapter 48-12mm Set

Description

Product Overview

The SWDTLAB Vortex Mixer Platform Accessories are engineered to enhance the versatility of your laboratory shaker. This test tube adapter features four precisely machined hole diameters—48 mm, 36 mm, 16 mm, and 8 mm—allowing you to securely mount a broad spectrum of test tubes and small reaction vessels. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, the adapter offers exceptional corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that minimizes friction during high‑speed shaking. The compact footprint (6.3 x 4 x 4 inches) and lightweight design (4.8 ounces) ensure that the adapter integrates seamlessly with existing vortex mixers without adding significant bulk or weight.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the adapter includes a quick‑release locking mechanism that enables rapid installation and removal of tubes, reducing downtime between experiments. The robust construction tolerates continuous operation at speeds up to 3,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding protocols such as cell lysis, protein extraction, and homogenization. Each unit is rigorously tested to meet ISO 9001 quality standards, guaranteeing consistent performance across batches.

Compatibility is a key strength of this accessory. It fits standard vortex mixers from leading manufacturers and aligns perfectly with the SWDTLAB Vortex Mixer Platform, ensuring a snug fit that prevents wobble or imbalance. The adapter’s modular design also allows for future expansion, as additional adapters with different hole configurations can be interchanged without the need for additional tools or modifications.

Usage

In a typical laboratory setting, researchers often need to process multiple samples simultaneously. This adapter streamlines that workflow by accommodating up to twelve 8 mm tubes or four larger 48 mm tubes in a single run, dramatically increasing throughput. Whether you are conducting high‑throughput screening, preparing reagents for PCR, or performing kinetic assays, the adapter provides a stable platform that maintains consistent agitation across all samples.

The adapter is especially valuable in environments where space is at a premium. Its compact size allows it to be stored on a bench or within a drawer when not in use, and the stainless‑steel construction can be easily cleaned with standard laboratory detergents or autoclaved for sterilization. For applications requiring precise temperature control, the adapter can be paired with a temperature‑controlled vortex mixer, ensuring that samples remain at the desired temperature throughout the shaking process.

Target users include research scientists, quality control technicians, and educators who demand reliable, repeatable mixing performance. The adapter’s intuitive design reduces the learning curve for new users, while its durability meets the rigorous demands of daily laboratory use. By simplifying tube handling and improving consistency, the adapter helps laboratories achieve more accurate and reproducible results.

FAQ

What tube sizes are compatible with this adapter?

The adapter includes four hole diameters—48 mm, 36 mm, 16 mm, and 8 mm—so it can securely hold standard microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, and larger reaction vessels that fall within these dimensions. This flexibility allows you to process a variety of sample types without needing multiple adapters.

Can the adapter be sterilized?

Yes. The adapter is made from stainless steel, which can be autoclaved at 121 °C for up to 30 minutes. It can also be cleaned with typical laboratory detergents and rinsed thoroughly. This ensures that the adapter remains free of contaminants for sensitive applications.

Is the adapter compatible with vortex mixers from other brands?

While the adapter is optimized for the SWDTLAB Vortex Mixer Platform, its universal mounting interface is compatible with most standard vortex mixers on the market. We recommend checking the mounting dimensions of your specific mixer to confirm a secure fit.

How many tubes can be mixed simultaneously?

The adapter can hold up to twelve 8 mm tubes or four 48 mm tubes at once, depending on the selected hole size configuration. This capacity enables high‑throughput processing while maintaining consistent agitation across all samples.

What is the warranty period for this product?

SWDTLAB provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues within this period, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
