Vortex Mixer
Product Code : LSK-CL-10260
Vortex Mixer (SKU LSK-CL-10260) is a tube mixer that swirls liquid into a vortex for fast, vigorous mixing and for re-suspending cells or chemical pellets. It serves life-science, physical and chemical analysis work in college, university and research teaching labs. Colleges, research units and tender contractors can purchase the mixer through Science Lab Supplies, a chemistry lab instruments supplier with dispatch arranged from Ambala, India.

Applications and Experiments for the Vortex Mixer
A vortex mixer is the quickest way to mix a sample in a tube without a stirrer bar. Pressing a tube onto the cup in touch mode gives short bursts of mixing, while continuous mode suits longer runs, such as dissolving a solid or re-suspending a pellet after centrifugation.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. biotechnology and microbiology: re-suspending cells spun down in a Glass Centrifuge Tube.
- Analytical chemistry: mixing standards, samples and reagents in test tubes.
- Biochemistry practicals: preparing enzyme and protein assay mixtures.
- Larger volumes in beakers or flasks: switch to a stirrer and a PTFE-coated Magnetic Stirrer Bar.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Vortex Mixer is supplied as a single unit as described above. Tube capacity is up to 15 ml, with re-suspension of pellets in tubes up to 50 ml; tell us the tube size you work with so that suitability is confirmed, and any optional accessories are named on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request a price for one mixer or for a set to equip every bench in a teaching lab. The quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that number of units, and a centrifuge or stirrer from the same range can be added.
Using its Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Price requests for the mixer can be sent via the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender documents through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What speed range does the Vortex Mixer have?
Speed is variable from 0 to 2500 rpm, so it can be set low for gentle mixing or turned up for vigorous re-suspension of pellets and cells.
What is the difference between touch and continuous operation?
In touch mode the mixer runs only while a tube is pressed onto the cup. In continuous mode it keeps running, leaving your hands free for longer mixing.
Who supplies the Vortex Mixer?
Science Lab Supplies sells this mixer from Ambala, India. Colleges, research laboratories and contractors receive a direct quotation covering packing, dispatch and any items added to the order.
Will the mixer move on the bench?
It stands on specially designed vacuum suction feet that hold it steady during use, and its 3.5 kg weight adds to that stability at higher speeds.
