The Mini-Mixer from Glas-Col is a personal, compact, lightweight mixer that replicates the quick, rhythmic motion of finger-vortexing to a multitude of micro-tubes simultaneously. The unique and innovative design (U.S. Patent #6,059,446) creates complete and unsurpassed mixing with each and every action. Taking up only 25 square inches of bench space, and weighing less than three pounds - this unit can be used in nearly any incubator. 

• This new and novel design offers the most efficient mixing action for solutions in enclosed tubes - from ½ micro-liter to ½ liter size volumes.  By using the 3-D asymmetry of the moving tube to thoroughly mix the tube's contents, the least amount of input yields the maximum output for optimized solution mixing and culture growth.
• The "finger-vortex" action offers one of the gentlest and most thorough forms of mixing cell cultures - where protein analysis demonstrates potential destruction from other forms of micro-tube shaking.
• Most incredibly, this new device consumes only 1 - 10% of the electricity required by other competitive models to get comparable results. The outstanding and long-term financial savings when using this technology - along with the inherent environmental benefits - are far beyond anything else offered or imagined in today's world of biotechnology.
