Precise Mixing for Elevated Laboratory Performance

Besides capacity, other factors that you should take note of in a mixer to match the productivity and efficiency your facility requires include its speed type and speed range. The BV101-P Vornado Purple Cup Vortex Mixer from Benchmark Scientific supplies fixed speed mixing at a steady 2800 RPM. Operating at a preset speed all throughout makes it an ideal choice for research and development, routine tasks, QA analysis, production, and light duty mixing. Consider the VXHDDG Vortex Mixer from Ohaus, an equally popular mfg, if you need something with a higher maximum speed compared to this unit.

Tried and Trusted Laboratory Mixing for Your Application

There are various types of lab mixing equipment available in the market to serve all possible sample solutions, viscosities, and solubilities. Don't confuse yourself on which one to acquire by understanding each type of lab mixers. For fast sample agitation and mixing, the befitting lab mixing equipment would have to be vortex mixers. Capable of blending samples and diluent, suspending cells, as well as mixing reagents in beakers or microplates, vortex mixers are appropriate for analytical, bioscience, and biochemical applications to name a few. Achieve results that can be easily replicated with an analog vortex mixer that moves with an orbital motion like the BV101-P Vornado Purple Cup Vortex Mixer from Benchmark Scientific. This Benchmark Scientific vortex mixer can be utilized for a variety of bioscience applications such as isolation of DNA fragments, cultivation of bacteria, enzyme reactions, and more. Never worry if you are incubating cultures as this unit can yield exact temperatures ranging from 4°C - 65°C.

  • Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50ml

  • Inst-Touch™ pressure activated operation

  • "Mini Sized", less than 4 in. wide

  • Available in five color configurations


Powerful is the best word to describe this mini vortexer. With a 4mm orbit and fixed speed of 2800rpm, the Vornado instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 ml tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Vornado has a footprint of less than 4×4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded bench.

Insta-Touch operation means that the motor is automatically activated with slight pressure on the center cup head. Operation is smooth, quiet and efficient. When pressure is removed, operation immediately ceases.

The Vornado’s unique head design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life. The unit is available with five different cup head colors
