Compact IKA Lab Dancer orbital vortex mixer with 4.5 mm stroke, 2800 rpm speed, ideal for biotech sample processing.
The IKA Lab Dancer is a compact orbital vortex mixer designed for precise laboratory sample mixing and preparation. Featuring a 4.5 mm shaking stroke and a fixed speed of 2800 rpm, it facilitates efficient homogenization of small sample volumes up to 0.1 kg, including attachments. The mixer supports continuous operation with a permissible ON time of 100%, ensuring reliability during prolonged bioprocessing tasks. It is equipped with a touch-sensitive function for easy control, though it lacks speed and timer displays, reflecting its focus on straightforward mixing applications. Measuring 100 x 70 x 100 mm (WxHxD) and weighing just 0.776 kg, the unit is ideal for benchtop integration in molecular diagnostics, gene editing workflows, and synthetic biology research. Its orbital motion enables consistent vortex formation, essential for cell imaging sample preparation and biological homogenization in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
