Dependable Mixing of Samples for High Throughput

Besides capacity, other factors that you should take into account in a mixer to fulfill the efficiency and productivity your workroom requires include its speed type and range. The BV1010-TST BenchMixer XLQ Quechers Vortex Mixer from Benchmark Scientific brings in variable speed mixing throughout a range of 500 RPM to 2500 RPM, having users control the unit to introduce gentle or vigorous mixing as determined by applications. This makes it an ideal choice not just for microbiology or cell culture tasks but also for QA analysis, research and development, as well as production purposes in industries including pharmaceutical, electronics, cosmetics, and food and beverage. Consider the BV1000 BenchMixer Vortex Mixer from Benchmark Scientific if you need something also from the same brand and series but with a higher maximum RPM compared to this one.

Efficient Mixing for Your Application

A great deal of lab mixing instruments are available in the market but don’t be confused on which one to purchase. Best-fit for heavy and regular use, the small footprint BV1010-TST BenchMixer XLQ Quechers Vortex Mixer from Benchmark Scientific is a digital vortex mixer that deals with small sensitive samples as well as fluids in a fast orbital manner. Just like most vortexers, the Benchmark Scientific BV1010-TST lets users achieve reproducible results when it comes to enyzme and protein analysis, tasks completed for in vitro and infection studies, as well as cell disruption and homogenization. These vortexers come in various formats, blending samples and re-suspending cells with precise speed and control in microtiter plates, test tubes, vials, and beakers.

  • For use with QuEChERS and other sample prep methods

  • Powerful, hands-free shaking/vortexing

  • Pulsing program for interval mixing


Supplied with QuEChERS rack starter kit: 7 x 50ml tubes, held horizontally 50 x 15ml tubes, held vertically 50 x 1.5/2.0ml tubes, held vertically

Benchmark’s BenchMixer XLQ has been designed for use in QuEChERS and other sample prep methods. Supplied with racks for 50ml tubes held horizontally and 15ml and 1.5/2.0ml tubes held vertically, it takes the place of traditional manual shaking in these applications.

Multiple samples can be processed simultaneously in the Benchmixer XLQ’s large capacity racks, saving time and preventing operator fatigue. The vigorous, consistent shaking ensures all samples are exposed to identical conditions within the same batch of samples, as well as between batches.

The BenchMixer XLQ creates a true vortex in vertical sample racks by holding the top of the tube stationary while the bottom rotates in a 3.6mm orbit. Time and speed are precisley controlled by the digital microprocessor. A pulse mode allows for more vigorous mixing. Quiet operation, minimal vibration and a long service life are guaranteed by the precisely balanced drive system and powerful motor.

Using the BenchMixer XLQ is simple. To load the sample racks, loosen the knobs on the stationary steel rods and raise the top sample plate. One rod is shorter than the other, allowing the plate to be lifted up and swiveled to one side. After samples are loaded, lower the plate into place and tighten the knobs. Select the desired speed and run time on the digital control panel and press start. The BenchMixer XLQ can perform unattended mixing for as little as 1 minute or up to 100 hours.

While the BenchMixer XLQ is configured primarily for QuEChERS protocols, additional racks are available to accommodate nearly any type of vessel commonly found in the laboratory (ask for details). Built for heavy-duty use, the instrument carries a 2 year warranty.
