Introduction

The Labnet Enduro™ MiniMix is a three dimensional nutating mixer typically used for maintaining the uniform suspension of liquids over transfer membranes with a minimum volume. The Enduro MiniMix is also ideal for processing Western Blots and staining and destaining PAGE gels.
The Enduro MiniMix achieves its 3-dimensional mixing by combining the rotating motion of an orbital shaker with the rocking motion of a platform rocker. The modern styling of the Enduro MiniMix’s housing is achieved through the use of injection molded  FRABS plastic. The small platform is constructed of powder coated aluminum topped with a rubber TPE mat.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the user manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference.

This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.

Installation

The Labnet Enduro™ MiniMix can be used on a bench, in a cold room or in an incubator up to 40°C. Place the unit on a flat stable surface and be sure to leave sufficient room around the unit to allow both the platform and load to move freely. A minimum of 4
inches (10 cm) clearance on all sides of the mixer is advised.
Plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet of the appropriate voltage as shown on the unit’s data plate label.

Operating Instructions

The flat matted pattern is configured to allow four 8 x 10 cm (Bio-Rad, NuSep) or two 10 x 10 cm (Lonza, Invitrogen) blotting boxes to be securely placed on the mat without additional strapping. If blotting boxes are to be stacked, they should be secured with rubber bands. Holes in the corners of the platform edges are provided for this purpose.
Always load the platform in a uniform and balanced fashion.
Use the power switch to turn the unit on. The direction of rotation in which the unit starts is random and does not affect mixing.
If desired, the rotational direction can be reversed by holding the unit’s base and very briefly touching the rotating platform on the bottom at one corner. This technique can also be used to select the direction of rotation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Always disconnect the cord from the power source before maintaining or servicing.
The Labnet Enduro MiniMix requires no maintenance other than occasional cleaning with a damp cloth with mild detergent. The rubber mat may be washed in soap and water. NOTE: Do not immerse the unit in water or spill liquids over the unit. Be sure the unit is dry before reconnecting to power.

Should you have a question about the operation of the Labnet Enduro MiniMix or if service is required, contact Corning Customer Service. Do not send in a unit for service without first calling to obtain a repair authorization number. Should the unit require return for service, it should be properly packed to avoid damage. Any damage resulting from improper packaging shall be the responsibility of the user.
