Tube Replacement Cup for GVM Series Vortex Mixers Overview
The Globe Scientific Tube Replacement Cup (GVM-AS-CUP) is a rubber accessory engineered for GVM Series vortex mixers. Designed to seat tubes and small vessels securely during high-speed mixing, this cup accommodates diameters less than 30mm. Labs relying on continuous mixing workflows depend on intact cups to maintain consistent contact and reduce sample spillage.
Rubber construction provides the grip and flexibility needed to dampen vibration while holding a single tube in place. Over time, repeated use wears these contact surfaces, so keeping spares on hand prevents downtime at the bench. This replacement part restores the original fit specified by Globe Scientific for compatible GVM units.
Each item ships as a single unit, making it straightforward to order the exact quantity your facility needs. Technicians can swap a worn cup quickly without tools, returning the mixer to service in moments.

Laboratory Applications
Vortex mixers see daily duty across molecular biology, clinical, and analytical labs, where resuspending pellets and blending reagents are routine. The tube replacement cup supports single-tube mixing for narrow vessels, holding samples steady through rapid orbital motion. Worn or missing cups compromise grip, so replacements keep mixing reproducible.
Maintenance teams stock these accessories to keep shared equipment ready between batches. Quality control labs, sample prep stations, and teaching facilities all benefit from having a fresh cup available when the original degrades from solvent exposure or mechanical fatigue.
