Vortexers are an essential part of many laboratory workflows, delivering rapid and efficient vortex mixing for test tubes, vials, microplates, and other vessels. These compact mixers combine convenience with power, making them ideal for resuspending cells, mixing reagents, and preparing samples across a wide range of life science and research applications.
MIDSCI offers a curated selection of vortex mixers that ensure optimal functionality, user comfort, and reliable performance, whether you’re in an academic lab, biotech facility, or other setting.
Types of Vortexers
We carry several categories of vortexers to accommodate different formats, speeds, and lab needs:
- Mini Vortexers: Ideal for small spaces and quick mixing tasks, mini vortex mixers offer fixed speed or variable speed options with cup head attachments for single-tube use.
- Standard Vortexers: Designed for general-purpose mixing with adjustable speed control, durable construction, and broad compatibility with various tube racks, flasks, and containers.
- Specialty Vortexers: For more advanced or unique mixing protocols, these vortexers support accessories for temperature control, rotators, or specific tube formats.
- Plate Vortexers: Built specifically for microplate mixing, these models deliver consistent and reproducible vortexing across 96-well or 384-well plates, supporting assay prep and sample processing.
- Tube Vortexers: Tailored for test tube and vial mixing with specialized heads and adapters to maximize real-time efficiency across multiple sample types.
