Bio-Rad BioLogic Mixers - Manual

The Maximizer mixer is for use with the Maximizer valve system. The Maximizer Mixer improves
gradient quality by mixing the output of the BioLogic DuoFlow workstation pumps. The mixer may be
used with one of two mixer barrels, which fit between the mixer body and the mixer top and are used
for higher flow rates. The mixer assembly comes pre-assembled with a 5 ml barrel extender, as shown
in Figure 1. This kit includes four screws (1/4-20 x 1/2”) to be used if the 5 ml mixer barrel is removed.
Refer to the following table when selecting a mixer volume.
