Applications
The 3-inch Platform is compatible with single or multiple test tubes, beakers and various flasks. The
removable cover, made of thermoplastic rubber, has a high level of resistance to chemicals. We do
recommend, however, that spills be blotted quickly to avoid damage. Do not attempt to use the 3-inch
Platform without the rubber cover.
The Pop-off Cup can be used with tubes of virtually any size or shape from micro tubes to those up to
40mm in diameter and 200mm in length. In most instances, tubes without caps may be mixed with proper
speed control. Tubes must be capped when potential aerosols may be hazardous.
Operating Instructions
We recommend that you retain your original packaging for 90 days in case you need to
return the product for any reason to your distributor or Electron Microscopy Sciences.
Plug the line cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The VORTEX-GENIE® 2T Mixer has the following modes of operation:
"TT" (TIMED TOUCH - 1 to 60 seconds).
For procedures that require
short duration vortex
mixing from 1 to 60 seconds. Or, for
procedures that require
accurate and repetitive vortex mixing sequences
of 1 to 60
seconds each.
In the "TT" operating mode, place the toggle switch in the TOUCH position and set the 1
to 60 second
timer
(gray knob with white reference line) to the desired mixing time on the
gray numbered scale. Next, set the
speed control
(black pointer shaped knob) to any
position between 3 and 10 on the black numbered scale before initiating the "TT" operating
mode. A setting of 3 is least vigorous mixing and 10 is the most vigorous mixing. When
you touch a tube or other vessel to the 3-inch Platform or Pop-off Cup, the mixer will start
and run for 1 - 60 seconds, depending on the timer setting. The mixer will automatically
turn off at the end of the 1 - 60 second cycle. Releasing the pressure on the Platform or
Cup and then re-applying the pressure will initiate another 1 - 60 second cycle. The mixing
cycles will be precisely timed and you may initiate as many mixing cycles as you wish.
"CT" (CONTINUOUS TOUCH)
The "CT" mode is used when you desire to operate the VORTEX-GENIE 2T so that vortex mixing starts
and runs continuously, without interruption, when you touch the vessel to either the 3-inch Platform, or to
the Pop-off Cup. To set the "CT" operating mode, place the toggle switch in the TOUCH position and turn
the gray
timer knob completely counter-clockwise until it "clicks" into the continuous (NO TIMER) position.
Set the speed control knob.
