Description: Vortex mixers are quite commonplace in bioscience laboratories. In cell culture and microbiology laboratories they may be used to suspend cells. In a biochemical or analytical laboratory, they may be used to mix the reagents of an assay or to mix an experimental sample and a dilutant. The vortex mixer was invented by brothers Jack A. and Harold D. Kraft while working for Scientific Industries (a laboratory equipment manufacturer).
