Heidolph Vibrating Vortex Mixers
Vortexers play a central role in every laboratory. The focus is on ease of use and the quick results you get as a laboratory worker. Whether it's for solubilizing solids, dissolving stubborn cell pellets in fresh medium, or simply mixing individual samples in test tubes, this tool always finds a spot on the lab bench.
At Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co.KG we have three different vortexers in our range, so there is something for every everyday application. In addition, the single vortexers can be expanded with various accessories, so that different samples can be processed more easily and quickly. See for yourself!

The classic with 5 mm shaking orbit This model is particularly suitable for simple mixing tasks. In short-term operation mode, the shaking motion is triggered by pressure on the test tube tray. This mode is suitable for mixing up solutions, for example. Persistent cell pellets can be dissolved gently but powerfully in continuous operation. With a speed of up to 3,200 rpm and a shaking orbit of 5 mm, reliable and uniform distribution of solids, and homogenization of highly viscous media are guaranteed. |
The precise one with speed scaling All the outstanding features of the Reax Top's "little brother" can be found in this model: a rotational speed of up to 2,500 rpm and a 5 mm shaking orbit. The electronic speed control and the scaling of the speed display allow precise settings. Applications that require a determined speed are thus shaken more gently. Shear force-sensitive organisms remain particularly protected by the constant speed in the low range. |
The versatile model with a 3 mm shaking orbit A high sample throughput is one of the daily challenges that analytical laboratories have to meet. Often several analyses have to be prepared simultaneously. To simplify these processes and the general workflow, a multi-vortexer has been developed. It can accommodate between 12 (16-32 mm diameter) and 26 (10-16 mm diameter) tubes (Falcon tubes or Greiner tubes). Reaction vessels with snap-on lids ("Eppis" or Eppendorf cups) are also safely fixed. The 3 mm shaking orbit and a speed control between 150 and 2,000 rpm guarantee excellent mixing results. The integrated timer (up to 999 minutes) enables the automatic termination of the shaking function. After the time has expired, a signal tone is emitted. In this way, you can be sure that your work process will proceed continuously, as several tasks have to be fulfilled at the same time. |
