Welcome to the Vortex Mixers category at Labotal. The vortex mixer is a basic and common tool in every laboratory, designed for fast and effective mixing of liquid samples in small test tubes, such as Eppendorf tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, and Falcon tubes of various volumes. These instruments are essential for ensuring sample homogeneity.
A vortex mixer operates by rapidly spinning a small circular surface, usually made of rubber, onto which the end of the test tube is placed. The contact between the hand-held test tube (or via a suitable adapter) and the spinning surface creates an eccentric motion that is transferred to the liquid inside the tube. This motion causes the formation of a “vortex” within the sample, mixing it with great efficiency.
Most vortex mixers offer different operating options: “Touch Mode” where the device operates only when light pressure is applied with the tube onto the surface, and “Continuous Mode”. Many models also allow for adjustment of the rotation speed, to match the required mixing intensity based on sample volume and viscosity. There are also vortex mixers with special adapters that allow working with multiple tubes simultaneously, or with microplates. The result is fast, thorough, and uniform mixing.
Vortex mixer instruments are used in almost every laboratory discipline due to their ease of use and effectiveness in handling small samples:
Labotal offers a wide selection of vortex mixers from leading global manufacturers, excelling in reliability, durability, user-friendliness, and high mixing efficiency. In our catalog, you will find compact models designed for personal use alongside vortex shakers with platforms allowing mixing of a larger number of tubes simultaneously, including options for adapters for tubes of different sizes and microplates.
