Alligator Tumble Stirrers
VP 710 Series
The Alligator Magnetic Tumble Stirrer uses patented stir-cylinder technology to mix large numbers of samples in tubes, vials, bottles, and microplates (Patent #6,176,609). Instead of spinning a magnetic stir bar about the horizontal plane like the standard magnetic flask stirrer, the Alligator Tumble Stirrer causes stir elements of all sizes and shapes to tumble vertically end-over-end inside each well. The Alligator Tumble Stirrer will uniformly stir all types of microplates of any volume or format. It will also stir V and U bottom microplates, PCR plates, micro-centrifuge tubes and test tubes, bottles, syringes and special designed troughs and reservoirs.
Using the most powerful permanent magnets manufactured, we make many different models of Tumble Stirrers to fit the many varied applications and requirements of our customers. Requirements for heating and continuous stirring for a long period of time require special Tumble Stirrers that are resistant to heat and with motors capable of working under high loads for extended periods of time. Please check with our knowledgeable staff to help you make the appropriate selection for your application. Our specialty is flexibility- let us know if you have a custom application today!
