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.

It really looks and operates as an instrument from the 21st century.
Preparation of nanomaterial mixed with biological material
My students were impressed by the robustness of it and the touch display. It really looks and operates as an instrument from the 21st century.

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
