With the increasing demand for sample processing efficiency and consistency in laboratories, traditional manual mixing methods are no longer able to meet the needs of precision experiments. As a highly efficient and reliable laboratory mixing device, the vertical mixer is being widely used by more and more research institutions, testing centers, and enterprise laboratories due to its reciprocating mixing method.

1、 What is a vertical mixer?

A vertical mixer is a device that uses vertical motion to gently and uniformly mix liquids or suspended samples. Its operation mode is usually oscillating up and down or tilting and rotating, which can mix reagents, cell suspensions, blood samples, etc. in the test tube, avoiding sedimentation or floating phenomena.

Compared with vortex mixing, horizontal shaker and other equipment, vertical mixer has good adaptability, gentler processing method and more uniform mixing effect, especially suitable for experimental scenarios with high requirements for mixing uniformity.

2、 Product advantages and technical features

Diversified exercise modes

Vertical reciprocating, rotating, intermittent oscillation and other modes can be set to meet the mixing needs of different samples.

Compatible with multiple specifications of test tubes

Supports multiple types of test tubes such as 1.5mL, 15mL, 50mL, etc. Some models can be equipped with different test tube racks, with a wide range of adaptability.

Gentle mixing to avoid sample damage

Adopting a low shear mixing method to protect the structural integrity of sensitive samples such as proteins, nucleic acids, cells, etc.

Easy to operate, adjustable timing

Equipped with digital display and timing functions, users can flexibly set the running time and speed according to their experimental needs, making operation convenient.

High stability and low noise design

The equipment runs stably and has no offset during long-term use, meeting the requirements of modern laboratories for quiet and efficient environments.

3、 Widely applicable in various fields

The Shanghai Yetuo vertical mixer can be widely used in:

Clinical testing: used for mixing blood samples with anticoagulants to maintain stable blood cell status;

Molecular biology experiments: operations such as reconstitution after nucleic acid extraction and protein resuspension;

Environmental and food testing: mixing liquid samples, reagents, etc. to improve testing consistency;

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic research and development: raw material dispersion, formula mixing, small-scale sample processing, etc.

4、 Typical application examples

Sample pretreatment before PCR experiment

Antibody incubation and buffer mixing in immunological experiments

Mixing of cell lysate and culture medium

Preparation of serum and plasma samples

5、 Selection suggestions

When choosing a vertical mixer, the following factors should be considered:

Sample type and tube specifications: Confirm the main tube type used (such as 15mL/50mL centrifuge tube);

Sample quantity: Is it necessary to process multiple sets of samples at once;

Mixing strength requirements: whether speed adjustment or intermittent oscillation is needed;

Temperature sensitivity: Does it involve the need for mixing thermosensitive samples;

Laboratory space and layout: whether the equipment volume and placement method match the current layout of the laboratory bench.

conclusion

Choosing the right experimental equipment can save a lot of experimental time. For Shanghai Yetuo Vertical Mixer, a reliable laboratory mixing equipment, vertical mixer is being widely used by more and more research institutions, testing centers, and enterprise laboratories.
