installing Single tube Holder:
1. Move the 3-way rocker switch to the center, off/standby position. Single Tube
Holder should NOt be used on the Fixed Speed Vortex Mixer.
2. Remove cup head, or any other accessory from the Vortex Mixer.
3. Align the base plate of the Single Tube Holder over the post of the Vortex Mixer
with the two Single Tube Holder alignment posts at the back of the unit. Lower
Single Tube Holder onto Vortex Mixer, the magnets will hold the Single Tube
Holder in place. To realign this attachment, pull up from the handle until the
magnets release, check the alignment and place again.
4. Now that the Single Tube Holder is in place, attach the cup head on the post of the
unit, aligning the flat “alignment mark” inside of the head mounting hole with the
flat “alignment mark” on the post.
5. Lift up on the spring loaded upper portion of the Single Tube Holder and slide a
2.5 to 4.5” (6.4 to 11.4cm) long tube on the cup head so that the tube is aligned
in the middle. The 0.5mL Micro-Tube Holder or the 1.5 to 2mL Micro-Tube Holder
will also fit into the Single Tube Holder. You are now ready to mix your sample.
