Good result
enzymatic assay
The instrument works very well, it is easy to manage and to program. The solid structure and easy way to use it make me feel I can trust it completely even if I need to use it for long experiments.

Instrument robustness makes the Co-Mix an excellent long term investment
Attaching proteins to nanoparticles
The machine is a robust, reliable and simple to use. I attach proteins to the surface of nanoparticles, which can be challenging to perform. Compared to other shakers/mixers I have used, the Co-Mix gives me confidence that I can carry out protein-nanoparticle reactions under reproducible conditions. The reliable results obtained using the Co-Mix have allowed me to quickly gather data, and I looks set to have a publication in the very near future.

Improves reproducibility, easy to use, very robust
Direct binding assays
I use the Co-Mix shaker to properly prepare 96-well plates for a direct binding assay. This involves adsorbing proteins on the bottom of the plate and multiple washing steps with different solutions. By the data I achieved I can confirm its positive effect on the reproducibility of my experiments. The error bars in my data have been 3-times smaller, since I started to use Co-Mix shaker to help me out with all those long washing steps involved in the assay. Personally I can say that it gives me sense of security, and a feeling of work-well-done when I know that I treated my samples exactly in the same way as I always do. With using Co-Mix shaker I can say I did maximum to maintain reproducibility and minimise human-handling factor - and my results are the proof of it.

With both a microplate vortex mixer and tube vortex pad the Vitl Co-Mix takes efficient laboratory mixing to the next level.
The microplate mixer and tube vortexer can be used simultaneously and controlled independently. The Co-Mix is fully programmable, allowing you to create, name and store up to 100 mixing profiles with varying mixing speeds, times and ramp rates. The Co-Mix comes with a full set of adapter plates for 0.2ml PCR tubes and PCR strips, 96 and 384 well microplates, deep-well plates and 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0ml micro test tubes. The tube vortexer module can be used with both skirted and unskirted tubes.
Key Features:
- Simultaneous, independently controlled plate and tube mixing
- Intuitive touch-screen user interface
- Excellent stability at high speeds (>3000rpm)
- Effortless changing between operating modes
- Pre-programmed with commonly used mixing programs
- Up to 100 user-defined mixing programs can be added to suit your needs
- Innovative plate-holding mechanism to avoid sample spillage or contamination when loading and unloading microplates
Applications:
- Mixing of PCR and Enzyme preparations
- DNA isolation with magnetic beads
- Mixing of viscous liquids
- Mixing samples during incubation stages
- Mixing of DNA pellets and cell cultures
- Mixing of ELISA immunoassays
- Mixing of bacterial cultures
Mixing High Viscosity Solutions with the Vitl Co-Mix Laboratory Mixer
The viscosity of a solution has a significant effect on the mixing efficiency of an orbital mixer. Viscous liquids such as glycerol and polyethylene-glycol (PEG) are widely used as a non-aqueous mixing solvent for drugs, vaccines and dyes, or as a stabilizing agent in protein solutions. This application note examines the performance of the Vitl Co-Mix when used to mix solutions with a high concentration of glycerol in different microplates and tubes.
