Head/Accessory Installation Instructions
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. Remove the adhesive backing from adapter plate and line up the opening of the adapter plate over the opening of the housing. Press down
firmly to ensure a proper bond between the adaptor and the unit. Align the base plate of the Single Tube Holder with the adaptor plate
from the previous step. Keep the center openings of the plates concentric to avoid mechanical interference. 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. 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 the adapter plate, 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.
5. Now that the Single Tube Holder is in place, attach the cup head on the post of the unit, aligning the orientation arrow towards the rear of
the unit.
6. Lift up on the spring-loaded upper portion of the Single Tube Holder and slide a 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.
