Product Description
Vortex Mixer
A vortex mixer is an essential laboratory instrument designed to quickly and efficiently mix small vials of liquid. It operates using an electric motor with a vertically oriented drive shaft connected to a slightly off-center rubber cup. When activated, the cup oscillates rapidly in a circular motion. By pressing a test tube or other container into the cup, this motion is transferred to the liquid inside, creating a fast-spinning vortex for thorough mixing.
In fluid dynamics, a vortex refers to a region within a fluid where the flow revolves around an imaginary axis, either straight or curved. The mixing action in a vortex mixer replicates this vortical flow, ensuring uniform blending of samples for reliable experimental results.
Applications
Vortex mixers are commonly used in bioscience laboratories, particularly in cell culture and microbiology, to suspend cells or mix biological samples. In biochemical laboratories, they are ideal for mixing assay reagents, combining experimental samples with diluents, or ensuring complete solution homogeneity before testing.
