4.0 Installation of Vortexer Platforms
Cat. No.
Platform Descriptions
48010
Platform for 4 microplates
48011
Platform with non-slip rubber mat
48012
Spring loaded platform for flasks, bottles, or tube racks
The Corning LSE Multipurpose Digital Vortexer requires the installation of the selected
platform. Please follow the instructions below for installing the platform.
Before you attach the platform, make sure that the slide stabilizers are properly
fastened, adjusted, and lubricated with the included grease.
The flat mat platform has a circle cut-out in the rubber and screw holes in the center.
Remove the cut-out rubber circle and screw down the 4 screws onto the Vortexer. After
attaching the platform, remove the non-adhesive backing paper on the rubber circle,
and paste it back into place.
The grease is used to lubricate the slide stabilizers. It is sufficient for 1,000 working
hours (approx. 1 year). After that time you should remove the platform and clean,
adjust, and re-grease the slide stabilizers. If they are worn out, you should replace them
with new stabilizers and set to appropriate height.
