Foam Tube Holders for GVM Series & GVM-MULTI Vortex Mixers — 10 Configurations, Sold Each
The Globe Scientific GVM Series Foam Tube Holders seat securely on GVM and GVM-MULTI vortex mixers to grip multiple tubes during high-speed agitation, supporting sample homogenization, QuEChERS extraction, and reagent mixing across busy bench workflows. Molded foam inserts cradle tubes by diameter, reducing slippage and cross-contamination while accommodating volumes from 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes up to 50 mL conical formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the adapter holders work on their own?
No. The GVM-AS-ADAPT models (6 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm) are designed for GVM Series mixers and must be used with the Plate Adapter VM-AS-PLA, ordered separately.
Which holders fit the GVM-MULTI mixer directly?
The GVM-MULTI-prefixed holders mount directly onto the GVM-MULTI platform, including the 72 x 1.5/2.0 mL, 60 x 7 mL, 45 x 15 mL, 6 x 250 mL flask, and the horizontal 50 mL QuEChERS configuration.
What is the QuEChERS holder used for?
GVM-MULTI-QUENCH positions 50 mL tubes horizontally for the QuEChERS extraction method, maximizing agitation efficiency during pesticide-residue and food-safety sample prep.
Are these holders sold individually?
Yes. Each SKU is priced per holder (one each). Order multiple units if you need to swap configurations or run parallel platforms.
