Thermo Scientific Thermo Vortex Mixer with Variable Speed and Touch/Continuous Operation

The Thermo Scientific Thermo Vortex Mixer is a precision benchtop mixer engineered for consistent, high-speed vortexing with versatile control options optimized for biotechnology and molecular biology workflows. It features:

• Speed Range: Adjustable from 200 to 3000 rpm, supporting gentle mixing to vigorous vortexing essential for tube-based sample preparation and reaction mixing in molecular diagnostics and gene editing protocols.
• Control Modes: Includes both continuous operation and touch (momentary) activation modes to accommodate varied mixing durations critical for live-cell imaging preparations and synthetic biology experiments.
• User Interface: Digital models provide an LCD speed and time display with a timer function, while other configurations utilize an analog knob or membrane keys for rapid speed adjustments at the laboratory bench.
• Swappable Tube Cup Head: Enables flexibility by supporting multiple tube sizes and vessel formats through interchangeable adapters (sold separately), facilitating workflows involving cell culture tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, and reaction vessels commonly used in bioprocessing and clinical diagnostics.
• Physical Specifications: Compact footprint (7” x 9” x 6”) and stable base design minimize vibration during high-speed operation, ensuring reproducible sample mixing results in controlled laboratory environments.
• Electrical Requirements: Operates on 115V, 50/60Hz power supply with a low power consumption of 6W, suitable for standard lab settings.

This vortex mixer’s reliability and precision control make it a valuable tool widely adopted in synthetic biology research, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where consistent sample homogenization is critical. Its robust design and ease of use contribute to enhanced reproducibility in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging sample preparation contexts.
