Benchmark BV1005 Benchtop Vortex Mixer for Microcentrifuge Tubes

The Benchmark BV1005 Vortex Mixer is a benchtop laboratory mixer designed for precise sample agitation, essential for molecular biology and bioprocessing workflows. It features a dual-purpose head accommodating up to eight microcentrifuge tubes simultaneously, facilitating efficient mixing in gene editing and synthetic biology applications.

Key specifications include:

• Speed range of 200 to 3200 rpm enabling adjustable vortexing intensity suited for various sample types.
• Operating modes: Touch for momentary agitation and Continuous for sustained mixing.
• Orbit diameter of 3 mm providing consistent orbital motion critical for uniform sample blending.
• Operational temperature range from +4 to 45°C supporting temperature-sensitive protocols.
• Compact footprint measuring 13 x 16 x 17 cm and weighing 3.8 kg, suitable for crowded laboratory benches.
• Powered by 230V, 50-60Hz, 180W electrical input.

This vortex mixer is widely used in biotechnology research, clinical diagnostics, and biomanufacturing environments for sample preparation, mixing reagents, and ensuring homogenous suspensions in molecular diagnostics and cell imaging studies. Its compatibility with microcentrifuge tubes makes it a fundamental tool in molecular cloning workflows and fluorescence analysis.
