What types of tubes can this vortex mixer accommodate?

This class of vortex mixer is typically designed for standard laboratory test tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, and other small vessels. The reversible head allows for flexibility with various tube shapes and sizes.

Is the mixing speed adjustable?

Most BenchMixer V2 units feature variable speed control, allowing users to adjust the vortexing intensity according to their application needs. Buyers should confirm specific speed ranges with the seller.

What maintenance is typically required for a vortex mixer?

Maintenance for this type of equipment is generally minimal, primarily involving routine cleaning of the exterior and the rubber head. No specific consumables or complex servicing are usually required.

Can this mixer be used for continuous operation?

Vortex mixers are primarily designed for intermittent use for short bursts of mixing. While robust, prolonged continuous operation is not their primary design intent.

What is the benefit of the reversible rubber head?

The reversible head provides versatility. The cupped side is ideal for single tubes, while the flat/dimpled side is suited for uniquely shaped vessels or simultaneously mixing multiple test tubes.

Benchmark Scientific - BenchMixer V2 Vortex Mixer

Name: BenchMixer V2 Vortex Mixer
Brand: Benchmark Scientific
SKU: 53565
Price: 100 GBP
Availability: InStock

This listing is for a Benchmark Scientific BenchMixer V2 Vortex Mixer.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The Benchmark BenchMixer V2 utilizes a smooth and powerful mixing technology similar to the original BenchMixer, with the advantage of a uniquely designed reversible rubber head that can be attached to the mixer in two orientations. For the vortexing of single tubes, the cupped surface would generally be preferred. However, for applications requiring a flat/dimpled surface for mixing uniquely shaped vessels (or a handful of multiple test-tubes), the head can easily be flipped over and reattached in reverse orientation.

Features:

Reversible Rubber Head:Dual-Sided Design: The uniquely designed rubber head can be attached in two orientations to accommodate various mixing needs:
Cupped Surface: Ideal for vortexing single tubes with precision and stability.
Flat/Dimpled Surface: Perfect for mixing uniquely shaped vessels or simultaneously vortexing multiple test tubes.
Powerful and Smooth Mixing:Provides consistent and efficient mixing performance, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory tasks.
User-Friendly Design:Easy Reconfiguration: The rubber head can be quickly flipped and reattached in reverse orientation to switch between cupped and flat surfaces.
Enhanced Versatility: Accommodates single tubes, uniquely shaped vessels, and multiple test tubes with ease.
Efficient Mixing: Delivers powerful vortexing for reliable results across various applications.
Adaptability: The reversible head ensures compatibility with a broader range of sample containers

Applications:

Molecular Biology: Mixing reagents, DNA, RNA, and protein samples.
Clinical Diagnostics: Vortexing patient samples and assay components.
General Lab Use: Handling solutions in tubes or other small vessels.
