Our laboratory vortex mixer and shaker, Co-mix, is the only instrument to provide simultaneous, independently controlled microplate mixing and tube vortexing in one sleek, compact design. It is fully programmable, allowing you to create and store your own unique mixing profiles with variable ramp rates, mixing times and speeds, thanks to its intuitive LCD touch-screen. The Co-mix delivers high-speed, complete mixing performance to ensure data accuracy and higher repeatability.

The Co-mix supports 96 and 384 well microplates in skirted, semi-skirted and unskirted variants plus deep-well plates, 0.2ml PCR tubes and PCR strips as well as 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0ml micro test tubes. The vortexer supports most skirted and unskirted tube formats.

**The Co-mix comes complete with a full set of adaptor plates as standard. Extra adaptor plates can be purchased separately.

Co-mix features:

• Suitable for different vessels, including plates and tubes
• 3mm mixing orbit
• High speed functions up to 3,000 rpm for the mixer and 3,500 rpm for the vortex mixer
• Create and store user-defined mixing profiles
• Innovative plate-holding mechanism for reduced risk of lid wetting
• No spill risk
• Simultaneous microplate mixing and tube vortexing function
• Fast, efficient mixing with minimal vibration in the lab
• Intuitive LCD user interface
• Effortless change between operating modes
