Benchmark Mortexerโ„ข Vortex Mixer (BV1005)

$296.25

The Benchmark Mortexerโ„ข Vortex Mixer (BV1005) is an innovative benchtop laboratory vortexer that combines dual-functionality in a compact, space-efficient design. Featuring the unique patent-pending Multi-Headโ„ข attachment, this versatile vortex mixer delivers both traditional cup head mixing for general-purpose applications and integrated holders for up to eight microcentrifuge tubesโ€”eliminating the need for separate accessories and simplifying routine laboratory workflows. The powerful motor provides instant vortexing action with variable speed control from 200 to 3200 RPM, ensuring optimal mixing intensity for diverse sample types from gentle agitation to vigorous vortexing.

The innovative Multi-Head design makes the Mortexer ideal for molecular biology laboratories, clinical diagnostics facilities, quality control departments, and research environments where benchtop space is limited but versatility is essential. Engineered for reliable performance and user convenience, the Mortexer features Benchmark’s Q-Driveโ„ข dynamic balancing system that ensures smooth, vibration-free operation even at maximum speeds. The dual operating modesโ€”continuous for hands-free mixing and touch-activated for quick spinsโ€”provide operational flexibility for different laboratory protocols and user preferences. The 3mm orbit delivers effective mixing action for thorough sample homogenization, resuspension, and reagent blending without excessive heat generation or sample degradation. Compact dimensions of just 5 x 6.3 x 6.7 inches enable placement in crowded laboratory workspaces, while the robust 8.4-pound construction provides stability during operation without platform walking or excessive vibration.

ARES Scientific offers the Benchmark Mortexer as a cost-effective vortex solution for laboratories requiring both general-purpose and microtube mixing capabilities in a single instrument. The included Multi-Head attachment eliminates additional accessory purchases, providing immediate productivity for routine vortexing tasks. Backed by Benchmark’s 2-year warranty and compatible with a wide variety of optional accessories for specialized applications, the Mortexer delivers the versatility, reliability, and compact footprint that modern laboratories demand for efficient sample preparation and reagent mixing workflows.
