American Scientific Products Vortex Mixer Variable Speed Touch Function

The American Scientific Products S8223-1 is a heavy-duty, high-performance vortex mixer designed for the rapid and thorough mixing of samples in various laboratory containers. Featuring a robust motor and a weighted base, this mixer provides exceptional stability even at its highest speeds. With its versatile variable speed control and dual-mode operation, the S8223-1 is an essential tool for life science, clinical, and analytical laboratories requiring precise control over vortexing intensity.

Technical Performance and Design

• Variable Speed Control: Equipped with a precision adjustment dial that allows for a smooth transition from gentle agitation to vigorous, high-speed vortexing, accommodating a wide range of sample viscosities.

• Dual-Mode Operation: Features a three-position power switch allowing for Touch mode (activation upon downward pressure) or Continuous mode (constant operation for use with optional attachments).

• Heavy-Duty Weighted Base: Constructed with a high-mass metal housing and vibration-dampening rubber feet to prevent walking or creeping across the benchtop during high-speed use.

• Eccentric Drive System: Utilizes a counterbalance drive mechanism that delivers a consistent circular motion while minimizing mechanical noise and vibration transfer to the user's hand.

Product Specifications

• Model: S8223-1

• Speed Range: Variable up to 3000 RPM

• Operating Modes: Touch (Auto) / Off / Continuous (On)
