OFFICIAL QUESTION:

 
1. What is this?

2. What is it typically used for in forensic science?

Our Geek of the Week answered:

The machine is a vortexer. How it works is you place a tube containing a liquid mixture on the vortexer then the vortexer shakes the tube rapidly. This shaking is done to homogenize the sample.  It is like a mini-paint shaker.

The liquid typically associated with our profession is blood. One example is when TCA is added to a whole blood sample it is vortexed to homogenize the sample prior to centrifugation. Another example is when blood is frozen and then thawed it must be homeginized so the vortexer is used to do so.

[BLOGGER’S NOTE: There were 2 honorable mentions this week

John Tenn wrote: “The mini vortexer is typically used for mixing small test samples usually in small test tubes. Having used this exact model, i know it operates in either a touch mode or a continuous mode.”

Laura Magnuson wrote: “This is a typical vortexer. It’s used to quickly mix combined liquids when pressed down onto the black rubber top by creating a vortex within the vial. They can also be used to suspend cells within a solution.”]
